Generates and maintains a design manifest for visual consistency. In existing projects, reads current styles and documents the design language. In new projects, asks a few questions and generates a starter manifest. The post-edit hook reads the manifest and flags deviations.
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 — Design Manifest Generator
## When to Use
- At the start of a new project (generate starter manifest from preferences)
- On an existing project that has no manifest (extract patterns from existing code)
- When visual inconsistency is noticed ("why do we have 4 different button styles?")
- When /do routes "design", "style guide", "visual consistency", "design manifest"
## Protocol
### Step 1: DETECT MODE
Check for existing styles: look for `tailwind.config.*`, global CSS files, or component files with style patterns. If any exist, use Extract Mode. If none exist or the user says "new project", use Generate Mode.
### Step 2: GATHER INPUT
**Extract Mode**: Read style sources (tailwind config, global CSS, component files). Present findings to user and confirm before writing.
**Generate Mode**: Ask up to 4 questions about feel, color mode, brand colors, and layout density. Use sensible defaults for anything not specified.
### Step 3: WRITE MANIFEST
Write to `.planning/design-manifest.md` using the template defined below. Every section must have real values — no placeholders.
### Step 4: CONFIRM
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/design@sha256:ec0973ca024e02efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.0f3f8e7, 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.
