Make AI-generated designs render Arabic text correctly — clean, connected, professional. Fixes the letter-spacing trap that breaks connected script, wrong font fallbacks, clipped diacritics, and RTL/bidi bugs in mixed Arabic+English text. Use whenever generating or styling ANY Arabic text in HTML/CSS/React/UI — especially when Arabic "looks broken", letters overlap or disconnect, words render in the wrong order, or diacritics get clipped.
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
# Arabic Design — clean Arabic in AI-generated UI
Arabic is a **cursive, connected script**: letters join, and diacritics (ً ّ َ) sit above/below the
baseline. Most AI-generated CSS is tuned for Latin type — and that's exactly what breaks Arabic.
Apply these rules by default whenever the design contains Arabic; don't wait to be told.
## Rule 1 — NEVER negative `letter-spacing` on Arabic (the #1 bug)
Latin design trends love tight tracking (`letter-spacing: -0.02em`). On Arabic, negative tracking
overlaps the letter joins and crushes words into an unreadable blur. Positive tracking is just as
wrong — it *disconnects* letters that must join.
```css
/* ❌ WRONG — crushes connected letters into a blur */
h1 { letter-spacing: -1.5px; } /* element contains Arabic */
/* ✅ RIGHT */
h1 { letter-spacing: normal; } /* or 0 — always, for any element containing Arabic */
```
- Any element containing Arabic (or mixed Arabic+Latin) → `letter-spacing: normal`. Full stop.
- Negative/positive tracking is allowed **only** on pure-Latin/numeric elements (big stat numbers,
`$99`, `VS`, all-caps Latin labels).
## Rule 2 — Use a real Arabic font (never Latin-font fallback)

How to install
mdr add jamalmohafil/claude-skills/arabic-design@sha256:3601b0e8d4329bafThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.eba2317, 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.
