One small dark object at the corner of someone else's app that changes shape to match its state.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Tailr — Island ## Overview **One small dark object at the corner of someone else's app, which changes shape to match its state.** Not a toolbar, not a panel system, not a set of windows that open and close. A single continuous thing that is tiny when there is nothing to say and grows only as far as the current state requires. Everything Tailr needs to tell you happens by that object changing shape. Three rules: 1. **One object, many shapes.** States are transitions of the same element, never new elements appearing. If something new must be shown, the island morphs to contain it. 2. **Resting size is the design.** Idle is nearly nothing. Every pixel it occupies at rest must be earned. 3. **The page is never touched.** No dimming, tinting, insetting, padding, resizing, or restyling of the host application. ## Colors `ink` is the object. Near-black, opaque, never translucent or blurred — glass reads as another app's chrome and dissolves over unpredictable content. `paper` is the committed action. It appears only on the thing you are meant to press: Send, Reload, Undo. One paper element on screen at a time, and its presence means "this is the move." …

How to install
mdr add gcrft123/tailr/DESIGN.md@sha256:3d52a19ef7c59ab9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.c7f2d63, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
