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

# Moi applet design

Applets should feel useful, clear, and at home in the workspace.

This guide is the highest-priority visual contract for widgets and views inside a Moi workspace. Follow generic design guidance only where it agrees with this guide.

## Design principles

### Focus on the task

Decide what people need to understand and do before choosing how the screen should look. Include only the information and controls that serve that task. Relevant source context can inform the work without becoming a field, section, or feature. Available space is not a reason to add content. A sparse screen can be complete.

Lead with what people came for and make the next action obvious. Individually useful elements can still compete or repeat one another, so consolidate related information and give supporting content less emphasis.

### Start with one useful workflow

For a new view, build the smallest complete workflow that helps the user do something useful. Include what that workflow needs to work end to end. Add secondary workflows, configuration, reporting, and extra ways to organize things as the user asks for them.

### Use progressive disclosure

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add molefrog/moi/skill/references/DESIGN.md@sha256:536d8b087e6fdb02

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.f88e206, 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.
