Declarative catalog of named aesthetic recipes — exact shadow stacks, glass surfaces, gradient treatments, and type scales as copy-paste values with Use-When and Avoid rules. Use when the user asks for polished elevation, glassmorphism, a border gradient, a mesh background, or any 'make it look like X' request where taste should come from a versioned recipe instead of being reinvented per session.

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 Stylecards

Specs beat vibes. A stylecard is a named aesthetic recipe with **exact values** — the difference
between "add a nice shadow" (reinvented differently every session) and `elevation/md` (identical
every time, reviewed once, versioned forever).

```bash
design-stylecards list                      # Catalog index
design-stylecards elevation/md              # Show one recipe
design-stylecards apply glass/dark to src/components/Panel.tsx
```

## Why declarative recipes

Pipeline skills (`design-to-code`, `design-context-extract`) answer *how to produce* design output.
Stylecards answer *what good looks like* — as literal values an agent pastes, not adjectives it
interprets. Inspired by MengTo/Skills' stylecard micro-skills (MIT), consolidated into one catalog
to avoid manifest sprawl.

## Workflow

### 1. Resolve the request to a recipe

```python
Read("references/stylecards.md")   # The catalog — always read before choosing
# Match the user's intent to ONE recipe by its Use-When line.
# No match → say so and offer the closest two; never freehand values.
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/design-stylecards@sha256:c8b640030eb1b81e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
