Create frontends, posters, dashboards, and web UIs rooted in Bauhaus and Swiss International Typographic Style (Internationale Typografische Stil) design principles. Use this skill when the user mentions Bauhaus, Swiss design, International Typographic Style, grid systems, Josef Müller-Brockmann, Max Bill, Jan Tschichold, Herbert Bayer, László Moholy-Nagy, constructivism, De Stijl-influenced UI, or asks for designs that emphasize mathematical grids, typographic hierarchy, geometric…

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

# Bauhaus & Swiss International Typographic Style

This skill produces frontends, posters, dashboards, and web interfaces following the design principles of Bauhaus (1919–1933) and the Swiss International Typographic Style (1950s–).

## Core Philosophy

"Form follows function" is the surface reading. The deeper principle: **every visual element must justify its existence through communication, not decoration.** If it doesn't clarify, it's noise.

The Swiss/Bauhaus tradition treats the designer as an engineer of visual information — not an artist expressing themselves, but a systems thinker organizing content for maximum clarity and impact.

## The Five Pillars

### 1. The Grid Is the Architecture

The grid is not optional — it is the structural skeleton of the entire composition.

- Use a **mathematical grid** as the foundation. Common: 12-column, but 3-, 4-, 6-column grids are equally valid depending on content density.
- All elements — text blocks, images, shapes, whitespace — must **snap to grid intersections or grid lines**.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add capsrock/bauhaus-design-skill/bauhaus-design@sha256:dc9bf04855dbd294

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260410.f8bb58f, 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.
