Figure out what a section of content *should be* visually before reaching for any implementation pattern. Answers five structured questions — content structure, audience mental model, desired action, physical artifact metaphor, and the stupid-question test — then produces a one-paragraph visual brief for the implementer. Use when: designing a new section, evaluating a proposed visual treatment, or catching the nearest-neighbor trap (copying the adjacent project's pattern without asking if it…
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
# Visual Direction Skill Reason from content structure to visual form — not from available patterns to first fit. ## The Problem This Solves The nearest-neighbor trap: when Project B is being designed and Project A nearby used a pattern that worked (sidebar + sticky stage + crawling tick), the agent reaches for that pattern without asking whether Project B's content warrants it. A pattern that was right for A's content may be actively wrong for B's. **Real example:** A marketing site redesign for wicked-garden kept applying the wicked-interactive conveyor pattern (sticky stage, left sidebar ledger, yellow tick) to sections where it didn't fit. The "No cloud / No black box" refusals are philosophical statements — they want to be big typographic text, not a scroll-pinned station list. The tools section is a pipeline — it wants to be a session log showing the system working, not a sidebar tour. It took three rounds of user pushback before the agent stopped copying and started reasoning from the content itself. ## The Five Questions (answer in order) ### Q1 — What IS this content? Not "what should it look like" — what is its intrinsic structure? | Content type | Examples | …

How to install
mdr add mikeparcewski/wicked-garden/wicked-garden-product-visual-direction@sha256:4aa3b227cb50e298The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.d73e4dd, 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.
