Record per-PR design-review approval (UI merge gate). ONLY on an explicit per-PR designer "approved".

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

Writing: read docs/skills/shared/writing-rule.md before you write a durable artifact.

# /approve-design - Record Per-PR Design-Review Approval

Writes `.claude/session/reviews/<owner>__<repo>__<pr>-design.approved` (repo-qualified path, see AgDR-0060) with the current HEAD SHA so the `require-design-review-for-ui.sh` merge-gate hook will let a UI PR through. Without this marker, the hook blocks merges on any PR that touches a UI file — the pattern list lives in `.claude/hooks/_lib-ui-paths.sh` (React/Vue/Svelte/Astro/MDX components, template-engine files, styles, and design tokens), shared with step 5 below so the two checks never diverge (me2resh/apexyard#1390).

This skill is the design-review analog of `/approve-merge` (which writes the CEO marker for the merge gate). Same pattern, different gate.

## The one rule you must not break

**INVOKE THIS SKILL ONLY ON EXPLICIT, PER-PR, DESIGN-REVIEW APPROVAL.**

The valid invocation triggers look like this:

- "design approved" / "UI looks good" / "design review passed" — **if and only if** the surrounding context clearly names a specific PR and the designer has actually reviewed the PR's visual changes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add me2resh/apexyard/approve-design@sha256:9c18e92c2308aea5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.37f5689, 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.
