Build or review UI color palettes, tokens, themes, and contrast. Use for color-system work.
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
# Colors This skill builds and audits color systems. It generates ramps, maps their steps to roles and token names, converts notation and measures rendered contrast pairs. Never report a contrast value you did not measure, and never estimate a color you could compute. Notation, a tinted neutral and a gradient's interpolation space are project choices, not findings. A broken role mapping, a failing pair and an out-of-gamut step are findings. Perceived lightness throughout means OKLCH `L`, from `0` to `1`. Whether a pair is required to pass belongs to `better-accessibility`. Surfaces, shadows and icon color belong to `better-ui`. ## Match the project's color system Reuse the project's tokens and notation. A consistent hex system beats hex with `oklch()` scattered through it. For a new system, `oklch()` is the best default, because its numbers behave the way the ramp rules below describe. Everywhere else, a color library produces the same ramp in the project's own notation ([color-formats.md](color-formats.md)). ## A system is ramps, not colors …

How to install
mdr add transitive-bullshit/skills/better-colors@sha256:42a8b5fca30fbf98The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.ef64499, 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.
