Use at the start of EVERY design, UI/UX, frontend, motion, copy-on-screen, component, review, or product-idea task, even when the user names no skill. Picks the relevant emil-* skills (Emil Kowalski design engineering pack) and runs their checks without being asked. Jakub Krehel skills are a second opinion.

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 engineer router

The user never has to name a skill. You pick the skills yourself, every time, and say in one line which ones you used.

## Requirements
This skill only routes. It does not include the emil-* skills. Install them in your agent's skills folder first (for example `~/.cursor/skills/`, `~/.claude/skills/`, or `.claude/skills/` in a project). If a named skill is not installed, skip it and say so in one line.

## How to pick
1. Name the **phase** and the **material** of the ask. When two skills look equal, read `emil-ask-emil` for the full routing table.
2. Load the **1 to 3** most relevant emil skills for this ask. Not five: more skills dilute the craft bar. Read each skill's SKILL.md and its companion files, and follow its exact values.
3. Run the **proactive passes** below on your own, without asking.
4. In the reply, add one short line: which skills you used and why.

## Map of the emil skills
- **Undecided / options:** `emil-prototype` (3-5 versions behind a picker). Stuck on a vibe: `emil-get-creative`.
- **Foundation of any screen:** `emil-design-foundations` (hierarchy, spacing, states, microcopy), `emil-typography`, `emil-color` (OKLCH, contrast).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add julianromli/ai-skills/design-engineer-router@sha256:4f50ca6bb92b64b1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.1a245b1, 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.
