Optional add-on for projects with a visual surface — turn wireframes and mockups into a project-wide token system in the constitution plus one D<n> screen entry per surface in the active SPEC.md, and record the visual: gate command. Re-run to re-anchor after a design export changes. Skip entirely for a CLI, library, or headless service.

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

# tiny-spec-design

Wireframes and mockups are worth nothing to a build agent as loose files — they get
read once and forgotten. This skill turns them into two durable things: a
**project-wide token system** in the constitution, and a **per-screen `D<n>` entry**
in the active `SPEC.md`. Together those arm the **visual gate**: a task carrying
`design: D<n>` is rendered, measured against the tokens, and can *fail* on a numeric
deviation.

**Skip this skill entirely** for a CLI, library, or headless service. A dead design
heading in the constitution is worse than none — it gets injected into every executor
and reviewer prompt for the life of the project.

## What this skill owns

Every other skill in the suite owns whole files. This one owns **named sections inside
two files other skills own** — the one deliberate exception, because the design system
is project-wide while the screens are per-ticket, and splitting them across two owners
is what made this material sprawl in the first place:

| Artifact | Section | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| `.spec/constitution.md` | `## Design system` | **this skill** |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add grayma77er/tiny-spec/tiny-spec-design@sha256:9760dece3bda68f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.63ab17f, 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.
