Use when building or improving frontend UI that must feel intentional, product-specific, and visually verified instead of generic, especially when the user names a reference website or asks for a similar visual experience. Covers apps, dashboards, editors, marketing surfaces, mobile or embedded UI, and meaningful motion or 3D. It is not for backend-only work or a tiny CSS fix unless explicitly invoked.

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

# Frontend Art Direction

Make the visible product better without making the process expensive, vague, or theatrical. The default outcome is working UI with a clear point of view, complete states, useful motion, and visual proof.

## Operating Contract

- Inspect the project before choosing a style, library, font, animation, or hero layout.
- Treat the user's workflow, content, device, and existing system as the source of truth. External references fill named gaps; they do not replace product understanding.
- Use a restrained surface when content or media is weak. Strong expression must be earned by a real subject, authored material, meaningful data, media, or spatial relationship; it does not need to become a product template.
- Asset priority is user-provided -> existing/official -> high-quality searched -> generated -> deliberate assetless composition. Never hand off placeholders, low-resolution filler, random stock, or visibly flawed generated media.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add davaded/frontend-art-direction/frontend-art-direction@sha256:187224a22931590c

The 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.
