Produces design reference imagery before implementation — screen concepts, layout directions, and flows for web or mobile that make a verbal brief concrete enough to argue with. Use this when a brief needs visualizing before anyone builds, when comparing layout directions, when handing a developer a target, or when stakeholders are describing different things with the same words.
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
# Visual reference generation Arguing about an image costs an hour. Arguing about a build costs a sprint. Generate the picture first. ## Before generating Settle these, or the output is decoration: - **Surface and platform** — web page, native mobile screen, dashboard. These are not the same problem at different aspect ratios: touch targets, native chrome, and scroll behavior change what a good layout is. - **What it optimizes for** — one conversion, one task completion, one first impression. Stated, so the image can be judged against something. - **Content reality** — real headline lengths, real data volumes, real edge cases. A concept built on three-word labels collapses on contact with actual copy. ## Generating - **One concept per image.** Tiling several ideas onto one canvas makes them impossible to compare or iterate separately. - **Generate genuinely different directions**, not variations of one. Three near-identical options is one option presented three times. - Include the states that will exist: a populated view and an empty one, at minimum. ## Web versus mobile …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/visual-reference-generation@sha256:ad9299d14f0d9ea8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, 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.
