Use when a design has won and its look must survive: codify it into a permanent style skill with measured ratios, bans and tests that can fail, then build new pieces in that exact look. Fires on 'turn this into a skill', 'keep the same style', 'my output drifted'. NOT finding the winner (that is `design-loop`), NOT the words (that is `marketing`).
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 DNA - one beautiful design into a permanent skill *A design loop finds you one beautiful thing. This turns that one thing into a skill you keep forever, so you can make more of it, in any format, without the look drifting.* **Not only about "designs".** The subject is anything that got built: a website, a landing page, a poster, a motion graphic, a carousel, a deck. Same system, same file, same tests. The format is an output, not the subject. ## The problem this solves Nobody wrote down **why** the winner was beautiful. Next time you ask for "the same style" you get something close, then something a bit off, then something generic. Every rule you do not write down, the model has to guess, and it does not guess randomly: it guesses the average of everything it has ever seen. That average is what people call slop. Slop is the sound of an unwritten rule. ## Two modes | You say | Mode | What happens | |---|---|---| | "codify this", "turn this into a skill", here is the winner | **CAPTURE** | Run the seven steps below. Output: a new style skill folder. | …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/design-dna@sha256:bb71393d6c28708aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.7ebebaf, 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.
