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 System Inspired by Perplexity AI

> Category: AI & LLM
> Conversational AI search engine. Deep-dark canvas, sharp typography, single violet accent, dense information hierarchy.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

Perplexity reads like a research terminal: unhurried, precise, and confident. The dark surface is not decorative — it reduces visual noise so citations, sources, and answers can breathe. There is no gradient hero, no animated blob, no hero illustration. The chrome disappears and the content leads. Light mode exists but the dark variant is the brand-defining surface.

Core atmosphere words: **grounded, sharp, credible, quiet**. Every layout decision serves legibility over aesthetics.

## 2. Color

All values are sampled from Perplexity's production interface and marketing site (May 2025).

### Dark surface (default)

| Token | Hex | OKLch | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| `--bg-base` | `#0f0f10` | `oklch(8% 0.004 280)` | Page background |
| `--bg-surface` | `#19191a` | `oklch(12% 0.004 280)` | Card / sidebar surface |
| `--bg-elevated` | `#232325` | `oklch(16% 0.005 280)` | Tooltip, popover, hover state |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add phuetz/code-buddy/assets/design-systems/perplexity/DESIGN.md@sha256:e747bcc529b74d82

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260705.52f72b6, 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.
