Enforces the Array UI (array-ui) editorial systems design system for any frontend, UI, website, blog, personal site, SaaS dashboard, or documentation development task. Trigger on "ape design", "Array UI", or whenever building, styling, or scaffolding UI to guarantee high information density, mathematical precision, editorial typography, and 0% custom CSS without prompt loops.
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
# `ape-design`: Editorial Systems Design Skill (Array UI) This skill enforces strict adherence to **Array UI (`array-ui`)**—the editorial, systems-engineering design system inspired by [arpitbhayani.me](https://arpitbhayani.me) and distributed at [ui.arpitbhayani.me](https://ui.arpitbhayani.me). When building or modifying any website (personal portfolio, engineering blog, SaaS dashboard, technical documentation, or systems explainer), the agent **MUST** follow this workflow and rules without requiring prompt corrections. --- ## 1. The 6 Non-Negotiable Prime Invariants ### Invariant 1: Mandatory Font Enforcement (DO THIS FIRST) > [!IMPORTANT] > **Before creating or editing any components, the agent MUST verify that Google Fonts are loaded and applied to `body`.** > If fonts are missing, the UI will fall back to system sans-serif (Arial/Inter), completely breaking the editorial authority. > > 1. **Google Fonts URL**: > `https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Assistant:wght@400;500;600;700;800&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:ital,wght@0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;1,400&family=Lora:ital,wght@0,400..700;1,400..700&display=swap` > 2. **In `globals.css`** (or main CSS): > ```css …

How to install
mdr add arpitbbhayani/ape-skills/ape-design@sha256:e1b9b26cd59cf255The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.6eef2a0, 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.
