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 Inspired by Slack

> Category: Productivity & SaaS
> Workplace communication platform. Aubergine-primary, multi-accent logo palette, light surfaces with dark sidebar, warm and approachable.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

Slack's identity is built around the idea that work should feel human and even a little fun. The canonical surface is **light** — white content areas with a deep aubergine (`#4A154B`) sidebar — the inverse of dark-first tools. This contrast is intentional: the sidebar is a calm, always-present navigation anchor, while the content area is bright and open.

The logo palette — blue, green, yellow, red — appears primarily in the hashtag icon and marketing contexts, not scattered through the UI. In the product itself, Slack uses a restrained, professional color system with aubergine as the sole brand anchor.

**Key Characteristics:**
- Light-first content surfaces: white `#FFFFFF` and near-white `#F8F8F8`
- Deep aubergine `#4A154B` sidebar — the brand's most recognizable UI element
- Four logo accent colors (blue, green, yellow, red) used sparingly as highlights only
- Larsseit for headings (marketing), system sans-serif for UI

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nexu-io/open-design/design-systems/slack/DESIGN.md@sha256:5eb2a9646e9916d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260509.01851aa, 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.
