A desktop agent workspace documented from the actual Berd design-system tokens.

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: Berd

## 1. Overview

**Creative North Star: "The Grounded Workbench"**

This file documents the actual Berd design-system source in [globals.css](src/shared/styles/globals.css), especially the `:root` semantic tokens and the Tailwind `@theme inline` aliases. The frontmatter lists the Tailwind-facing tokens agents should use in component code, such as `text-foreground`, `bg-card`, `border-border`, and `text-muted-foreground`. The prose explains the lower-level CSS variable chain behind them.

The current implementation provides useful product bones: semantic color tokens, shared UI primitives, a persistent sidebar, compact top bar, and a strong chat composer pattern. This document is not a blanket endorsement of every current surface. The Automations feature UI is explicitly excluded as design precedent because it did not receive the same craft pass.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add block/berd/DESIGN.md@sha256:7a2bb3bcb20c663a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.9b88cac, 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.
