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 System — gstack

## Overview

- **What this is:** Community website for gstack — a CLI tool that turns Claude Code into a virtual engineering team
- **Who it's for:** Developers discovering gstack, existing community members
- **Space/industry:** Developer tools (peers: Linear, Raycast, Warp, Zed)
- **Project type:** Community dashboard + marketing site

- **Direction:** Industrial/Utilitarian — function-first, data-dense, monospace as personality font
- **Decoration level:** Intentional — subtle noise/grain texture on surfaces for materiality
- **Mood:** Serious tool built by someone who cares about craft. Warm, not cold. The CLI heritage IS the brand.
- **Reference sites:** formulae.brew.sh (competitor, but ours is live and interactive), Linear (dark + restrained), Warp (warm accents)

## Colors

- **Approach:** Restrained — amber accent is rare and meaningful. Dashboard data gets the color; chrome stays neutral.
- **Primary (dark mode):** amber-500 #F59E0B — warm, energetic, reads as "terminal cursor"
- **Primary (light mode):** amber-600 #D97706 — darker for contrast against white backgrounds
- **Primary text accent (dark mode):** amber-400 #FBBF24

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/DESIGN.md@sha256:c61b54adaba6615e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.c8f0c4e, 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.
