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 — idstack

This file is the source of truth for idstack's visual system. Any visual or UI decision (font, color, spacing, radius, motion) must be grounded here. Per-skill reports and the course dashboard are plain Markdown and carry no styling (see Decisions log, 2026-11-02), so this system has no report stylesheet to keep in sync. The token, type and report-layout sections below record the report identity that the retired HTML reports used. The idstack.org landing page (`docs/index.html`) is now the only styled surface. It uses these tokens and fonts, with its own prussian hero; see § Landing page and the Decisions log, 2026-11-01.

## Product context

- **What this is:** Open-source set of skills for evidence-based instructional design. Runs in Claude Code. 12 skills, 146 peer-reviewed studies across 11 research domains, every recommendation tagged with its evidence tier T1–T5.
- **Who it's for:** Instructional designers (university, K-12, corporate L&D), faculty doing their own course design, course-design teams. **Downstream stakeholders:** deans, faculty senates, accreditation reviewers — they read the Markdown reports the designer hands them.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add savvides/idstack/DESIGN.md@sha256:05154571c1c2385d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.9d2ce40, 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.
