UX law for the AIDE cockpit redesign — one workflow (Describe, Plan, Approve, Build, Verify, Ship), human-in-the-middle orchestration, three-zone layout, states-not-modes, progressive disclosure, teach-by-doing checklist. Use whenever touching ANY AIDE frontend file (HTML/CSS/JS), deciding what is visible where, adding a control, judging "is this confusing", or building the orchestrator loop UI.

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
# Smart Workbench Flow — The Cockpit Law
Born 2026-08-24 after the operator (the ONLY user) reported: "Nothing of it is
understandable, it doesn't work properly, it's so confusing." Root cause found
in code, not in the user: four generations of CSS hide-rule overrides
("MODEL-FIRST LOCK" etc.) fighting each other over the same elements — an
accretion fossil, not a design. Patching it further is forbidden.
## Thesis
AIDE is the SUIT; the model is the cognition; the HUMAN is the commander in the
middle. Every pixel must answer: what can I do NOW, what happens if I click
this, and what does AIDE recommend next. The orchestrator (AIDE itself) is
smart: it proposes the next step, never leaves a dead end, never bricks.
## The One Workflow (everything serves this loop)
DESCRIBE -> PLAN -> APPROVE -> BUILD -> VERIFY -> SHIP -> repeat.
The human describes intent and approves checkpoints. AIDE plans, drives tools,
verifies, reports. Model quality varies; the loop stays constant.
## Layout Law — Three Zones (the cockpit)
- LEFT (fixed ~340px): ORCHESTRATOR. Describe box, then the live loop as CARDS:
Plan card (review/edit) -> APPROVE button -> Build stream -> Verify verdict ->

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-smart-workbench-flow@sha256:201c848df75caa8dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.df7cbde, 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.
