Upgrades an existing interface to a higher standard without rebuilding it — auditing what is there, identifying what reads as generic or unfinished, and sequencing changes by impact. Use this when a product works but looks dated or default, when a redesign is being considered, when deciding whether to restyle or rebuild, or when a screen needs to look substantially better with limited effort.

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

# Interface redesign

Most interfaces do not need rebuilding. They need a dozen specific things fixed, in the right order.

## Audit first

Go through the real product, on a real device, doing a real task. Record what you find in these
categories — the order is the priority order:

1. **Structural** — unclear primary action, competing focal points, navigation that does not match
   the mental model. These are the only ones worth a rebuild.
2. **Systemic** — inconsistent spacing, more type sizes than a scale would allow, palette drift,
   components that exist in variants. High impact, mechanical to fix.
3. **Craft** — weak hierarchy, poor contrast, unfinished states, cramped density.
4. **Cosmetic** — dated shadows, default border radii, stock illustration.

## The generic-AI-product tells

These are the specific things that make a product read as unconsidered. They are worth naming
because they are all cheap to fix:

- Default framework styling left in place — the untouched button, the starter-template card.
- One accent color used for every emphasis, so nothing is emphasized.
- Uniform spacing everywhere, so nothing groups.
- Centered everything, including body copy.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/interface-redesign@sha256:066a702167faf306

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, 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.
