Terminal control plane for orchestrating multi-agent coding workflows.
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: Atomic CLI ## 1. Overview **Creative North Star: "The Quiet Operator"** Atomic is a terminal-native control plane for AI coding agents. Engineers run hour-long autonomous sessions through it, then come back to review. The interface has to disappear into that work: glanceable at 2am, dense without being cluttered, and willing to surface a saturated color the moment something needs attention. Catppuccin Mocha is the canonical palette; Tokyo Night is the secondary fallback. Light terminals fall back to Catppuccin Latte through the same token roles, so every component below has a parallel light reading. The visual register is Restrained. Most of the surface is tinted neutral, with one accent (Catppuccin Blue) reserved for primary actions, current selection, and the mode pill. Status colors are not decoration; they correspond to the orchestrator's own state vocabulary (running, complete, awaiting input, error, pending). Bold weight does the heavy lifting where size cannot — terminals control font and size, but they reliably honor weight. …

How to install
mdr add bastani-inc/atomic/DESIGN.md@sha256:703d3ae1e2c7c19fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260724.1b90640, 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.
