Analyzes industry websites for design patterns, layout, typography, and content strategies using first-principles thinking. Use when researching website design, UI patterns, or competitive design analysis.

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

# Website Design Research

**Target**: $ARGUMENTS

Analyzes industry websites for design patterns through first-principles
thinking. Focus on layout, typography, color, and content presentation.
Pair with `auditing-website-accessibility` and `auditing-website-usability`
for implementation.

## Core Question

"How would users naturally expect this information organized if they had
never seen a website?"

## Workflow

1. **Find websites** - Search "[industry] companies/platforms", target 6-8 sites
2. **Extract design elements** - Colors (hex), typography, layout hierarchy, CTAs
3. **Track sources** - URL, authority level (H/M/L), cited research, cross-references
4. **Identify anomalies** - Who breaks conventions with better UX results?
5. **Synthesize findings** - Breakthroughs, patterns, contrarian insights, quick wins

## Output Format

### Source Index

```text
1. [Company] - [URL] - Authority: [H/M/L]
   Cites: [Studies/sources referenced]
   Cross-refs: [Shared sources with other sites]
```

### Design Breakthroughs (Max 3)

```text
BREAKTHROUGH #N (Impact: N/100)
Pattern: [Specific design element]
Principle: [Why it works for users]
Opportunity: [How to apply]

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qte77/claude-code-plugins/researching-website-design@sha256:08b840e91ad56241

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260322.75aadc6, 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.
