Design and prototype in Paper Design (app.paper.design) — read/write designs via MCP, convert to React/Tailwind code, import HTML/CSS, sync design tokens. Also covers Paper Shaders (@paper-design/shaders-react) — 30+ shader React components (mesh gradient, fluted glass, liquid metal, god rays, halftone, grain gradient, pulsing border). Pairs with minoan-frontend-design for creative direction. Triggers on Paper Design, paper.design, design-to-code, artboard, Paper Shaders, Paper MCP, prototype.
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
Read and write designs in Paper via MCP. Paper is a DOM-based design tool — designs are HTML/CSS structures that Claude reads and writes natively. ## Prerequisites Paper Desktop must be running before starting Claude Code. The app auto-starts an MCP server at `http://127.0.0.1:29979/mcp`. Run `python3 ~/.claude/skills/paper-design/scripts/health-check.py` to verify connection. If the MCP server is not registered, run `bash ~/.claude/skills/paper-design/scripts/setup.sh`. ## Paper vs Pencil Use Paper for design-to-code, code-to-design, and rapid prototyping (native DOM). Use Pencil for reusable design systems, existing `.pen` files, and presentations. Full comparison: `references/paper-vs-pencil.md` ## Paper Shaders Paper also ships a standalone React shader library — `@paper-design/shaders-react` — used independently of the MCP workflow. Install with `npm i @paper-design/shaders-react` and import named components like `MeshGradient`, `FlutedGlass`, `LiquidMetal`, `HalftoneCMYK`, `GodRays`. 30+ shaders across three categories (Image Filters, Logo Animations, Effects). Zero dependencies beyond React. …

How to install
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/paper-design@sha256:d63ae2492f1679c4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260416.4e43d41, 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.
