Guidance for distinctive, intentional visual design when building new UI or reshaping an existing one. Helps with aesthetic direction, typography, and making choices that don't read as templated defaults.
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.

# Frontend Design
<!-- CORE-OVERLAY-START -->
## This repository (Asymmetric-al/core)
This skill is explicit-only. Keep
`disable-model-invocation: true`. Use it for isolated distinctive-design
exploration, and do not restyle Core product apps.
Keep Core's Base UI, `base-maia` style, Zinc tokens, and
`docs/ai/rules/frontend.md` authoritative. Reconcile this overlay after upstream refreshes
before running `bun run skills:sync`.
### Triggers
- The user explicitly invokes `frontend-design` for a greenfield artifact
or an authorized visual exploration.
- Do not auto-route Core admin, donor, or missionary UI through this skill.
### Workflow
1. If the work is in `apps/*` or `packages/ui`, stop and follow
`docs/ai/rules/frontend.md` plus `base-maia`.
2. Do not restyle Core product apps. Distinctive-aesthetic prompts do not
override Base UI, Zinc tokens, or existing product language.
3. Animation still starts with `emil-design-engineering` and `anim`.
### Checklist
- [ ] Invocation was explicit.
- [ ] Core product apps were not restyled.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.c823cd4, 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.
