Custom design system for a macOS SwiftUI app with its own parts, not Apple's, covering three token layers, type, an icon set, every part in every state, custom window chrome, a parts gallery, and checks. Use when the user wants the app to have its own look and feel, a brand, or custom buttons, rows, and sidebars, when design-from-app has measured a reference app, or when the user asks for a design system or component library.
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
# Design kit A native look comes from Apple's parts. A custom look comes from your own parts: your sidebar row, your button, your checkbox, your icons. SwiftUI draws all of them. A kit is those parts, the numbers behind them, and one page that shows every part in every state. Most apps keep Apple's parts and only pick an accent color (`design-system` skill). Build a kit when the parts themselves must change. To copy the look of an existing app, call the Skill tool with `design-from-app` first: it measures the app and then comes back here. Everything lives in `Sources/<App>/DesignKit/`. Code for every step: [parts.md](parts.md). ## 1. Write the spec Write `design/KIT.md` from [kit-spec.md](kit-spec.md): three words for the feel, the tokens, the type scale, the icon rules, and one section per part with its sizes and states. Agents build from this page and review against it. Check: every part the app's screens need has a section with its sizes and its states. ## 2. Tokens in three layers `DesignKit/Tokens.swift`: 1. **Palette**: raw colors, named by hue and step (`gray50`, `blue600`). Only this file reads it. …

How to install
mdr add tomcounsell/ai/design-kit@sha256:4ca7728a7a557b7bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.b1054fc, 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.
