Use when a visual or frontend task in a Grove workspace needs a mockup approved before code — a new control, a redesigned surface, a layout change. Covers drawing a draw.io mockup through Grove's diagram tools, previewing it in the browser, getting sign-off, filing the approved image on the tracker issue, and handing the issue to implementation. For the raw diagram tool contract use collaborating-on-diagrams.

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

# Mocking up in Grove

A frontend change is approved as a picture before it exists as code. The
picture lives in a `.drawio` file the human can open in the workspace's
Diagram tab; the approved render lives on the tracker issue, where people who
never open the workspace can see what was agreed. Nothing in the mockup path
is committed.

## 1. Read before you draw

Read the surface's own guide and its visual contract (`webapp/CLAUDE.md` and
`webapp/design-system.md` for the web app, `src/grove/tui/CLAUDE.md` and
`docs/design-system.md` for the TUI). Take the census of vendored components
before deciding anything is missing. Screenshot the current surface with the
browser tools so the mockup can be compared against something real. Report
`scope`, then `plan`, through the phase channel `working-in-grove`
describes.

## 2. Draw where nothing tracks it

Write uncompressed `<mxfile>` XML to a workspace-relative path under
`.grove/attachments/` — that directory is excluded from git — with the
`.drawio` suffix the diagram tools require. Then open it managed:

```text
grove_open_diagram(workspace_id=…, path=".grove/attachments/<topic>.drawio")
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add bearlike/grove/mocking-up-in-grove@sha256:cb33a3d6df592f47

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.1a5058d, 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.
