Use when starting any design task — resolves register, sets the 3 dials, locks Gate 0, and routes to the right move and target skill.
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
<objective> The core design method and entry point for any design task: resolves the Register (brand vs product), states the Design Read one-liner and sets the 3 numeric dials (DESIGN_VARIANCE, VISUAL_DENSITY, MOTION_INTENSITY) against a scale anchored on the fifteen reference pages, enforces the Gate 0 brief lock before any HTML/CSS/tokens are touched, applies the Absolute bans, runs the 2-level AI-slop test, and routes to the matching move (generate, critique, audit, bolder, quieter, distill, harden, polish, redesign) and its target skill. Read this first — before `design-system`, any `register/*.md` file, or any `moves/*.md` file. This skill owns the gate and the routing table, not the move procedures themselves. </objective> <!-- Grounding: grounding-corpus.md §A (impeccable anatomy — thin router, Register, dials, Absolute bans, 2-level slop test), §G (root-cause fix: template reproduction demoted, register-first), §H (kept anchors: Gate 0, Signature Dominance, Focal-Block Floor, Competitor Lift Test, MOTION_INTENSITY). --> # Design Method — The Core This is the one place the design pipeline is defined. The agent (`agents/design-expert.md`) …

How to install
mdr add fusengine/claude-plugins/design-method@sha256:7d23e8d706d8db13The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.0cd6b32, 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.
