AI DevKit · Design phase guidance for reviewing feature design against requirements. Use when the user wants to validate architecture, review design docs, resolve design trade-offs, or run dev-lifecycle phase 3.
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
# Dev Design Run the design review phase for configured AI docs features. Before changing docs or code, propose the concrete plan for this phase and wait for user approval unless the user already approved the exact phase plan. ## Phase Contract 1. Run `npx ai-devkit@latest lint` before phase work. 2. If working on a named feature, run `npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name>`. 3. Read existing requirements and design docs before changes. 4. Ask until every material architecture, scope, validation, rollout, contradiction, trade-off, or open question is answered, explicitly deferred, or accepted as a named assumption. 5. Ask one decision at a time, with why it matters, 2-3 viable options when useful, and a recommended answer. 6. Do not approve or transition past design while material open questions remain. 7. Use mermaid diagrams for architecture visuals where a diagram clarifies the design. 8. If parent `dev-lifecycle` established usable task tracing, emit design phase, progress, blocker/open-question, and next-step events per `task`. ## Review Design Use for Phase 3. …

How to install
mdr add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/dev-design@sha256:a6884e5eeb419d4cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.c1f5930, 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.
