Use when designing or changing any user interface: websites, landing pages, marketing sites, admin panels, desktop software, mobile apps, components, dashboards, forms, dark mode, color, typography, READMEs and diagrams. Also for requests like "make a page", "make it look nicer", "restyle this" or "build the frontend". Helps spot and remove the templated look and common flaws of AI-generated interfaces, and produce restrained, precise design that grows out of the product itself.
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
# Toothpick: pick out the AI flavor, ship an interface that holds up ## What this guide is There are no rules here like "always use this font" or "never use that color". You may use any color, typeface or layout. It does two things: 1. **Helps you recognize the AI flavor**: which choices are an AI's unthinking defaults, and why people spot them instantly. 2. **Helps you avoid common flaws**: the mistakes that make an interface look rough, cheap or unprofessional. There is one test: **was this choice made for this product, or would you have made it for any product?** The second is the AI flavor. The user's explicit style, brand guidelines and existing code style always win, even when what they ask for is one of the "AI flavors" listed below. --- ## What the AI flavor is On every design decision, an AI drifts toward the most common option. It comes in two layers. **Layer one, the old clichés**: purple-to-blue gradients, emoji as icons, identical rounded cards with grey shadows, the "centered headline plus three feature cards" landing page, copy like "unlock limitless possibilities". Many people already recognize these. …

How to install
mdr add xiaomao8090/toothpick-skill/toothpick@sha256:dfd178682498b736The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.6fce5cd, 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.
