Design or change the person's Claude Code transcript skin with the skins mod. Use when they ask to restyle, recolour or theme Claude Code, make a skin from a mood, a brand, a wallpaper or another theme, change the spinner or footer words, or switch the rail, tables or shimmer on or off.

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

# Designing a skin

The skins mod redraws this transcript: tool calls on a timeline rail, tables with a header band and
zebra rows, a shimmering spinner and a turn footer. It gives you one tool, `mcp__skins__design`, and
every change shows on screen the moment the call returns.

## Steps

1. Call `{"action": "show"}`. It returns the current skin's palette, what each slot paints, the
   built-in skins and the ones already made.
2. Pick the built-in skin closest to what they asked for as `base`; a made skin only lists the slots
   it changes.
3. Call `save` with a lowercase hyphenated `name`, the `base`, the changed `palette` slots, and, when
   the mood calls for it, `spinner` gerunds and `done` past-tense words that match it.
4. Tell them what you changed in one line, and that `/skin` opens the settings to fine-tune it.

```json
{
  "action": "save",
  "name": "sunset",
  "base": "gruvbox",
  "palette": { "user": "#ff8a5b", "run": "#ffcf70", "surface": "#3a2b2b", "zebra": "#2e2424" },
  "spinner": ["Glowing", "Fading", "Drifting"],
  "done": ["Set", "Faded"]
}
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hellosverre/claude-skins/skin-designer@sha256:66ac43a5ddd99f33

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.40478bf, 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.
