Multi-family palette themes (8× dark/light) on --mn-* tokens; swamp-dark default; family accent, semantic metric colors, flat chrome.

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: Minnow

## Palette themes

`<html data-theme="{family}-{mode}">` (e.g. `swamp-dark`, `coral-light`) is set from **Settings → Appearance → Theme**, the inline boot script in `index.html`, or `initTheme()` in [`src/theme.ts`](src/theme.ts). Eight families: **Swamp**, **Desert**, **Ocean**, **Coral**, **Mono** (grayscale), **Matrix** (phosphor green), **Human**, **Mint**, each with dark and light variants. Default: **swamp-dark**. Hex and rgba literals exist only in [`src/styles/tokens.css`](src/styles/tokens.css); application CSS uses **`--mn-*`** tokens (26 core variables in [`CORE_THEME_TOKEN_KEYS`](src/appearance/types.ts) plus extended semantics via `color-mix`). Extracted inventory: [`documentation/design-system/`](documentation/design-system/README.md).

Storage: `minnow.theme` (explicit id), `minnow.theme.followSystem`, `minnow.theme.family`. Default theme: **swamp-dark**. Legacy `light` / `dark` / `system` values and pre-rename family ids (e.g. `sage`→`swamp`) migrate on read.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add henrigrimm/minnow/DESIGN.md@sha256:419815286e785f4a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.df82bc6, 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.
