Draw live interfaces on the screen over everything else, with no browser and no window. Use when the user asks to see something rather than be told it, says show me, put that on screen, pull up, or asks for a dashboard, chart, diagram, or status display. Also use to update or animate something already on screen, and to take it down when they are done.
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
# The display
The user has a transparent layer over their whole screen that you can draw on.
It is click-through everywhere except where something is drawn, so they keep
working underneath it. Panels stay up after you disconnect, which means you can
change one later instead of drawing it again.
```bash
hud status # is it running
hud open # start it
hud draw # Kyber Lines on stdin
hud demo # put one of everything on screen
hud close <surface> # take one down
```
Reach for this when the answer is a shape rather than a sentence. "How are my
reply times looking" is a chart. "What is due this week" is a list on the glass,
not four paragraphs in a terminal they have to scroll back to.
Do not reach for it to answer a question that is one sentence long. A panel that
says "yes" is worse than saying yes.
## Drawing
```bash
hud draw <<'EOF'
@ people at=topRight w=400
c s Screen title="RELATIONSHIPS"
c a Sparkline label="Messages this week" points=[31,28,44,39,58,52,71] value="71"
c b Bars caption="Time since last reply" rows=[{"label":"Sam","value":2,"display":"2h"},{"label":"Ava","value":31,"display":"1d"}]

How to install
mdr add calebnewtonusc/chewbacca/hud@sha256:6fe0e26b2019ea5dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.73d65e9, 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.
