Use whenever you are designing, building, or reviewing UI in Flight School and want it to look and feel like a first-class GitHub experience — beautiful, polished, mobile-friendly, and on-brand. Grounds every decision in Primer design tokens and the GitHub brand. Trigger phrases: "make this look like GitHub", "design this", "make it beautiful", "polish the UI", "is this on brand?", "responsive", "mobile-friendly", "design audit", "Primer", "design tokens", "look and feel".
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
# How to design like GitHub > The bar: a GitHub engineer should open any Flight School page and assume > it was built by the Primer team. Calm, content-first, technically > precise, beautiful at every viewport. Everything here defends that bar. Flight School is a GitHub product surface. It must feel native to GitHub — not "inspired by", but **indistinguishable from** something the Primer team shipped. This skill gives you the baseline to design confidently offline, and the live links to verify against the latest source of truth. ## Always check the latest source of truth Primer and the GitHub brand evolve. The baseline below is the durable core, but **before any non-trivial design work, fetch the current docs** — token names, component APIs, and brand rules change. | What you need | Authoritative source (fetch this) | |---|---| | Product components, patterns, usage | https://primer.style/product | | React component API (props, examples) | https://primer.style/product/components | | **Design tokens** (color/size/type) | https://primer.style/product/primitives | | Color token reference | https://primer.style/product/primitives/color | …

How to install
mdr add chrisreddington/flight-school/how-to-design-like-github@sha256:183e615ccc29a4d5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260529.8c3254a, 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.
