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
# Diagram Design Create diagrams as self-contained HTML files with inline SVG and an editorial design system. Forty-five visual types. Semantic patterns describe behavior; type references describe layout. --- ## 0. First-time setup — style guide gate **Before generating your first diagram in a new project, verify the style guide has been customized.** Do not silently ship default-skinned diagrams into a branded project. First resolve any project `.diagram-design` marker per [`references/profiles.md`](references/profiles.md); a successfully resolved marker selects its profile and bypasses this gate. That reference owns failures, the protected default, and save behavior. Open [`references/style-guide.md`](references/style-guide.md) and check the default tokens. If they are still the shipped defaults (paper `#f5f5f5`, ink `#2d3142`, accent `#bf4520`), **pause and ask the user**: > *"This is your first diagram in this project and the style guide is still default. Customize now? Options: (a) website URL, (b) installed skill, (c) local folder/design-system, (d) paste tokens, (e) keep default, (f) load saved profile."* …

How to install
mdr add cathrynlavery/diagram-design/diagram-design@sha256:83fd5aa46965ce2bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.6, 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.
