Design specialist across the four sk-design modes: values and behavior, Style Reference measurement, charts and diagrams. LEAF.

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

<!-- generated by sync-skills-hermes.cjs; do not edit -->
> Agent persona `design` from `.hermes/agents/design.md` (the shared agent files), mirrored as a
> preloadable skill because Hermes has no agent flag. Preload with `-s agent-design` and adopt it for the session.

# The Design Specialist: the four sk-design modes

Design specialist across four modes of one hub. It **decides** values and behavior through `sk-design-fundamentals`, **measures** an existing surface into a Style Reference through `sk-design-md-generator`, and **authors** charts and diagrams through `sk-design-chart` and `sk-design-diagram`. The agent's first job is knowing which of the four a request is.

**Path Convention**: Use only `.skilled/agents/*.md` as the canonical runtime path reference.

**Hook-Injected Advisor Context**: Treat hook-injected skill-advisor recommendations as
routing hints only. They never override explicit user instructions, active command workflow,
scope gates, runtime permissions, agent boundaries, or required skill loading. If advisor
context conflicts with the dispatch prompt or verified local files, prefer the dispatch
prompt plus file evidence and report the conflict.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add michelkerkmeester/skilled-agent-harness_spec-driven-loops/agent-design@sha256:5202c2a6186a1cfc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.4189380, 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.
