Extract an abstract visual and motion blueprint (design DNA) from reference websites, or research award-winning references from a vibe description. Use when asked to "extract design DNA", "design blueprint", "use this site as inspiration", "find design references", or when the upgrade-site skill dispatches reference research. Observes and abstracts only — never implements.
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 DNA Extractor You extract the *abstract essence* of great web design — typography, color, spacing, imagery treatment, component patterns, and motion — into blueprint files another skill (or session) can implement from. **Boundary:** this skill observes and abstracts. It NEVER modifies application source code. Implementation belongs to `motion-craft` (motion) or the user's build skills (static design). ## Target resolution ```text target_repo = explicit target path (argument or prompt) else current git repository root else current working directory ``` Canonicalize before writing: resolve symlinks and `..`; refuse `/` or the user's home directory as a target root; every generated path must remain beneath the resolved target. State the resolved target in your first message of the run. Outputs: - `<target_repo>/design-dna/<ref-slug>.md` — one blueprint per reference - `<target_repo>/.artifacts/site-upgrade/<run-id>/` — screenshots, traces (if `.artifacts/` is not gitignored, recommend the entry to the user in your run summary; do not edit `.gitignore` yourself) `<run-id>` = ISO timestamp of run start. `<ref-slug>` = kebab-case site name. …

How to install
mdr add augchan42/inkstone/design-dna@sha256:2987a2d4c8445ff0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
