Designing interfaces with a deliberate point of view: plan before pixels, avoid the generic-default look, typography and colour discipline, a quality floor that is not negotiable. Use when creating or improving web 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

# Frontend design

A deliberate point of view, then construction, then adversarial self-review. Generic is a decision too, and usually the wrong one.

## Pass 1: plan before pixels

Write down, before building:

- The audience and the ONE job of the screen.
- The primary action, and what the screen has to carry (real strings, real data volumes).
- The states: loading, empty, error, populated.
- Type plan: one scale (4 to 6 sizes, 2 to 3 weights). Colour plan: one accent, a neutral base, semantic roles (surface, border, text, danger). Say why each choice fits the audience.

Then attack the plan: describe what the default or template version of this screen would look like (hero, gradient, uniform card grid?). Remove or justify every piece of it that crept in. If the plan would work for any product, it is not a plan.

## Pass 2: build and self-critique

- Build the states as designed. The empty state is part of the design, not a fallback.
- Capture frames at narrow, standard, and wide (harness `browser` tool where available) and critique them against the plan: hierarchy, alignment, rhythm, legibility.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add damianvtran/local-operator/frontend-design@sha256:b53244b5b0c2c28a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.ee06e2b, 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.
