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

# Review the interface as one system

A strong interface is not six independent audits stapled together. Review the whole experience, let each `better-*` skill own its domain rules, then consolidate the evidence into one prioritized verdict. The same ownership runs forward: in `build` mode you consult the owners while implementing, then review your own diff against them.

This skill owns orchestration only. Accessibility rules belong to `better-accessibility`; structure to `better-layout`; copy to `better-writing`; type to `better-typography`; color to `better-colors`; visual polish and motion to `better-ui`. Never duplicate or override their rules here.

## Core Principles

### 1. Resolve Scope and Mode First

Infer the screen, flow, feature, or repository scope from the request and current workspace. State the resolved scope in the output. Use `core` when no mode is supplied and the request is a review; use `build` when the request is to implement something. `full` is opt-in — it dispatches a judge lane per domain with candidates and costs accordingly.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/better-interface@sha256:e0ffb57518c1c27e

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.
