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 System Inspired by GitHub

> Category: Developer Tools
> Code-forward platform. Functional density, blue-on-white precision, Primer foundations.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

GitHub's surface is engineered, not decorated. Every pixel announces a stance: this is a tool for people who care about diffs, builds, and pull requests. The page background is a clean `#ffffff` (light) or `#0d1117` (dark), with content arranged on dense rectangular panes separated by hairline borders rather than negative space. Information density is the brand — list rows, code lines, repository headers, and notification cards are all packed close together so a power user can scan a hundred items without scrolling.

The signature accents are the **Primer blue** (`#0969da`) for links and primary actions, and **GitHub green** (`#1a7f37`) for merged states, success, and the merge button itself. Both feel slightly muted compared to consumer-product blues and greens — saturated enough to read against the dense gray text, restrained enough to disappear into the background when several appear in one viewport.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nexu-io/open-design/design-systems/github/DESIGN.md@sha256:931769d326652380

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.aa04048, 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.
