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
# {{PROJECT_NAME}} — Design
> The design system + screen specs. **Filled before any UI is built** — design precedes the build. This file
> is the bar: every UI TODO item traces to a screen spec here and inherits §6, the UI definition-of-done.
> Where Anthropic's `frontend-design` skill is installed it decides the visual direction; §5 and §6 below
> still have to be met, because that skill covers aesthetics and not accessibility.
## 1. Principles & references
- **Simplicity is the bar — "a parakeet could use it."** One primary action per screen; minimal text (the AI
default is *too much* — cut); teach by doing; motion > words; smart defaults over forms. Passes the parakeet
test: usable by recognition and tapping, without reading. `{{SIMPLICITY_NOTES}}`
- Quality bar / inspiration (2–3 best-in-class references, grounded — see `docs/SOURCES.md`): `{{REFERENCES}}`
- What "good" feels like here (1–2 lines): `{{FEEL}}`
## 2. Design tokens (define once; never hand-pick values in components)
- **Type:** families `{{FONTS}}`; scale `{{TYPE_SCALE}}` (e.g. 12/14/16/20/24/32/48); base line-height `{{LH}}`.
- **Spacing:** `{{SPACING_SCALE}}` (4- or 8-pt rhythm).

How to install
mdr add gabrieldabbah/genesis/templates/docs/DESIGN.md@sha256:98a2657978bbd06dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.9da56a5, 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.
