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

# hippo-memory.com design system

**2026-09-24 redesign:** Terminal Native direction. The hero shows the product (a Claude Code session with hippo's real output), receipts include published losses, and `/teams` carries the company pitch. Rules below still apply where they do not name the old violet/cyan palette.

**2026-09-28:** the hero follows the Terminal Native mockup: positioning line, h1, lead, install command and agent names on the left, the session on the right, three commands below. The brand mark on the site is the `~/hippo` wordmark in Geist Mono. The icon is a mint `~/` on ink, drawn as strokes: `scripts/make-images.mjs` writes the favicon, the apple-touch icon and one 1200x630 Open Graph card per page in `public/og/`, captioned with the page title. The Spiral logo and the violet `og.png` are gone.

Codified from the shipped site plus the June 2026 design audit. The audit's
confirmed findings are the deltas; the strengths it verified are the rules.

## Identity

Developer tool, receipts-led. The site argues with numbers (85.6% R@5, 3,500+
tests, 0 deps) and publishes its own bad results. Every page sequences:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kitfunso/hippo-memory/website/DESIGN.md@sha256:510920fc886d48fb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.66024d2, 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.
