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 Inspired by Duolingo

> Category: Productivity & SaaS
> Language-learning platform. Bright owl green, chunky shadows, gamified joy.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

Duolingo is gamification rendered as visual language. The interface is unapologetically bright, with **owl green** (`#58cc02`) as the brand primary and a chunky 4px bottom-shadow on every interactive element that reads like a 3D button waiting to be pressed. The page is white (`#ffffff`) with thick 2–3px borders in a deep gray (`#e5e5e5`) and the entire system reads like an iOS app from 2015 reborn with better hierarchy.

Typography uses **Feather Bold** (a custom rounded sans) for chrome and **Mona Sans** (or Inter) for body. Display sizes are big and confident — Duolingo never whispers. Headings often carry the green underline-stroke or sit on a green pill, and the mascot Duo (a green owl) appears as an active illustration character, not a static logo.

Shape language is friendly: 16–20px radii on cards, 12px on buttons, 9999px on chips and progress bars. Iconography is filled, rounded, and color-coded by skill — every lesson surface has an instantly identifiable color pairing.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nexu-io/open-design/design-systems/duolingo/DESIGN.md@sha256:95e369814be3044e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.ddbe3c8, 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.
