Experience-level engineering canon, the UI/UX counterpart to software-design-principles (code-level) and architectural-design-principles (system-level). Usability heuristics, visual hierarchy, accessibility, interaction and feedback, information architecture, design systems and tokens, and testable UI. Imported by the consort UX Designer (authoring design-guide.{md,json} + ia.md and the adherence gate) and by the Driver building UI. Use when: shaping a design guide or information architecture…

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

# ui-ux-design-principles

Canon for decisions about the USER's experience. The third of the design-principles trio:

- `software-design-principles` – how a unit of code is written (SOLID, DRY, clean code).
- `architectural-design-principles` – how the system is shaped (layers, twelve-factor, fitness functions).
- **`ui-ux-design-principles`** – how the product looks, behaves, and is navigated, kept testable.

The project's `design-guide.{md,json}` and `ia.md` are the per-project *instantiation* of this canon, the way `architecture.json` instantiates the layering rules. Markdown only, no scripts: consulted, not invoked. Like the architecture canon, it points each rule at how it's enforced (the E2E/Playwright layer, the design-adherence check against `design-guide.json`, a11y checks). A rule no test defends is advisory; one a check defends is part of the build.

## When to use

- The `consort` UX Designer imports it to author `design-guide.{md,json}` + `ia.md` and define the adherence gate.
- The Driver imports it when building UI that must adhere to the design guide.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add databricks-solutions/consort/ui-ux-design-principles@sha256:5a2e51ea688f4a9e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260726.c0a20d9, 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.
