DESIGN.md designA

DESIGN.md is agent-read markdown (design) from garrytan/gbrain.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# DESIGN.md

The design system source of truth for gbrain. Born from the de facto tokens
that landed in `admin/src/index.css` during the v0.26.0 admin SPA work and
formalized during the v0.36.1.0 Hindsight calibration wave's design review.

This doc is the calibration target for `/plan-design-review` and `/design-review`.
When a question is "does this UI fit the system?", the answer is here.

## Voice

GBrain talks like a smart friend who knows your past, not a clinical scoring
system. Every user-facing string passes through this filter:

- Second person, contractions allowed.
- Grounded in concrete data the user can verify ("2 of 3 missed" beats
  "Brier 0.31").
- Never preachy. Never "we recommend." Never "according to your data."
- Short. Under 25 words for narrative; under one line for status.
- Numbers grounded in real outcomes, never abstract metrics without
  translation.

Five surfaces use this voice (v0.36.1.0+):
`pattern_statement`, `nudge`, `forecast_blurb`, `dashboard_caption`,
`morning_pulse`. All five pass through `gateVoice()` in
`src/core/calibration/voice-gate.ts` with mode-specific rubrics. A Haiku
…
