Hand-drawn editorial spot illustration — grainy charcoal-stippled black-ink figures on a warm cream background, paired with free-floating two-tone color blocks (no outlines) filled with internal patterns and surrounded by small scattered ambient marks. Trigger when the user says /grainy-duotone, asks for a "grainy two-tone editorial illustration", "charcoal-stippled hand illustration", "duotone editorial spot", or briefs with a scene metaphor + two-color palette + complexity.
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
# /grainy-duotone — locked grainy two-tone editorial style
This style produces small editorial spot illustrations in a warm hand-drawn idiom: grainy charcoal-stippled black-ink figures (almost always a hand or pair of hands) interacting with free-floating flat color blocks, set on a warm cream background and dotted with scattered ambient marks. The base is locked; each invocation spins five creative dials.
## Prompt interpretation
The user will usually give a short brief — sometimes a scene phrase ("hand raising a flag"), sometimes a metaphor + palette ("celebrating a launch, teal + yellow"), sometimes the full row of dials. Translate the brief into a complete scene without stopping to ask:
1. **Pick a scene metaphor.** Identify the verb the illustration is about (launch, grow, connect, discover, communicate, reflect, navigate, care, transform, build). If the user only gave a feeling, choose the most evocative everyday gesture that conveys it.
2. **Pick a two-color palette.** Two flat hues only. Lean cool for calm / reflective scenes, warm for celebratory / driven scenes.

How to install
mdr add vm0-ai/vm0-skills/grainy-duotone@sha256:e06c88962a884fceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.71a6b23, 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.
