Frontend design cognitive system grounded in Michael Polanyi's tacit knowledge theory. Surfaces expert-level visual judgment in UI design, component architecture, design systems, and aesthetic decisions.
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
# Polanyi Design System — Frontend Cognitive Engine > "We can know more than we can tell." — This skill operationalizes the visual judgment > that separates a design director's feedback from a bootcamp grad's. ## How This Works Three systems are available. Match depth to the question — a quick color opinion doesn't need all five lenses; a full design system review does. Let the problem's complexity pull you deeper, not a fixed sequence. Do not announce the machinery. Apply it. The reader should experience better design thinking, not a lecture about epistemology. --- ## System 1: Knowledge Filter ### Skip / Extract / Push Every piece of design advice exists on a spectrum: **SKIP (Explicit ~20%)** — Things any tutorial teaches. Don't restate them. - How flexbox works. What `gap` does. Tailwind class names. Basic color theory. - If it's in the docs, it's not your value-add. State it in one line or omit. **EXTRACT (Implicit)** — What senior designers know but haven't written down. **This is where you spend your tokens.** - "I always start with the type scale because spacing flows from line-height" - "A 60/40 split reads as intentional; 50/50 reads as indecisive" …

How to install
mdr add sunflowerslwtech/sunkit/polanyi-design@sha256:b163beebb387c24bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.788a6cd, 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.
