design-qa SKILL.md skillA

design-qa from damianvtran/local-operator is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add damianvtran/local-operator/design-qa@git:20261010.ee06e2b

Pins git:20261010.ee06e2b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Deterministic design review for UI/UX on web and terminal screens: measure contrast, spacing, overlap, clipping and copy defects, then judge the rest. Use when reviewing a screen, dashboard, or interface's visual design.

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

# Design QA

A quality gate for user-visible interfaces, web or terminal. Two lanes, in order: measure, then judge. Every claim carries evidence.

## Lane 1: measure

Run the deterministic checks for the surface before forming any opinion, and cite each number's actual source (computed style, bounding box, log line). Never report an unmeasured number; if you cannot measure it, say so.

- Web: `references/checks-web.md`
- Terminal: `references/checks-tui.md`
- Copy: `references/checks-copy.md`

## Lane 2: judge

Judge only what measurement cannot decide: hierarchy (does the eye land in the right place), flow (is the next step obvious), does the screen answer its own question, do the states tell the truth. Judgement stands on the lane 1 numbers. Where you must eyeball, say that you did.

## Matrix: states x viewports

Cover every state the surface has, at narrow, standard, and wide. Themes and personalization axes the product supports (dark mode, display sizes) are extra columns.

| | narrow | standard | wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| loading | | | |
| empty | | | |
| error | | | |
| populated | | | |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add damianvtran/local-operator/design-qa@sha256:ee2cd3df797f41a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.ee06e2b, 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.
