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
# 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

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/DESIGN.md@sha256:6067d41a06bad25eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260519.3a0e111, 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.
