Use when the user wants to know if an interface looks AI-generated, or wants the machine-made design tells stripped: "is this design AI-generated", "de-slop this UI", "does this look vibe-coded", "why does this look like every AI site". Read-only audit of supplied markup, CSS, or a described UI against the design-tells reference: purple gradients, Inter 700, three-card feature rows, glassmorphism, emoji bullets, centred everything, gradient pills. Flags each with location and severity. Not for…

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

# mimesis-design

Domain A, machine-design side. Flag the aesthetic defaults that mark an interface
as AI-built. Read-only: this skill reports, it does not edit. It never runs the
prose humanisation linter; that is a different medium and a different domain.

## How a run works

1. Read [reference/design-tells.md](../../reference/design-tells.md) on every run.
   It is the L1 corpus and it outranks any taste call.
2. If given markup or CSS files, run the grep set. The reference tags each tell
   `[grep]` or `[judgement]`. Use ripgrep for the `[grep]` ones, for example:

   ```
   rg -n --no-heading -e 'from-purple' -e 'to-indigo' -e '#7C3AED' \
     -e 'bg-clip-text' -e 'font-bold' -e 'rounded-\[?2[4-9]' \
     -e 'hover:scale-' -e 'transition-all' -e 'ease-elastic' \
     -e 'streamline|supercharge|world-class|enterprise-grade' <path>
   ```

   Tune the patterns to what the reference lists. grep finds the candidates; you
   confirm each is an actual tell in context, not a false hit.
3. Apply judgement to the `[judgement]` tells the grep set cannot see: centred
   everything, the three-card row, nested cards, oversized hero headline,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add blakecyze/skills/mimesis-design@sha256:6de8489fd8d511ab

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.71d87fc, 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.
