## What it does

The skill wires a design gate into a repository. Memi produces a policy, a baseline, a universal agent skill, SARIF output and a report a human can read. What gets checked is new regressions: accessibility, design tokens, component structure, responsive behaviour and UI states, each tied back to specific files.

Run it locally with `memi --profile connected --allow project-write --allow source-content-persistence --allow shell ci . --no-scope --report --json`. A nonzero exit means findings crossed the gate. That is a quality result, not a crash. For GitHub Actions, `.github/workflows/design.yml` uses `memi-design/memi@v2` pinned to version `2.7.9`.

The workflow targets beta `2.8.0-beta.2`. Your local `memi` has to report that same version or the recipes will not run — check with `npx -y @memi-design/cli@2.8.0-beta.2 --version`. Beta initialization is unavailable, so you need a policy and baseline that were already reviewed; the skill does not call the legacy setup commands. Look over the project changes before you commit them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add memi-design/memi --skill enforce-design-ci -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/enforce-design-ci/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/enforce-design-ci/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add memi-design/memi --skill enforce-design-ci -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/enforce-design-ci/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add memi-design/memi --skill enforce-design-ci -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/enforce-design-ci/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install memi-design/memi enforce-design-ci
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/enforce-design-ci/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add memi-design/memi --skill enforce-design-ci -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/memi-design/memi --path skills/enforce-design-ci
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/enforce-design-ci/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add memi-design/memi --skill enforce-design-ci -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/memi-design/memi/tree/HEAD/skills/enforce-design-ci/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- catch an accessibility regression before merge
- lock a design-token baseline so it cannot drift downward
- check component structure against the policy
- spot responsive layout breakage in a pull request
- get SARIF and a design-health report as CI artifacts

## Example prompts
- Run the design check over the project and show me the report
- Set up GitHub Actions for design CI using this skill
- Confirm the policy and baseline are committed and tell me the gate threshold

# Enforce Design CI

Add a reviewable design-quality gate that runs without an LLM. Memi writes a policy, baseline, universal agent skill, SARIF, and human-readable report artifacts.

This workflow targets published beta **2.8.0-beta.2**. Use `npx -y @memi-design/cli@2.8.0-beta.2 --version` to verify the exact package; a local `memi` must report that same version before these recipes run. The independent stable compatibility baseline is **2.7.9**. See [current release state](https://github.com/memi-design/memi/blob/main/docs/CURRENT_RELEASE.md) and [known limitations](https://github.com/memi-design/memi/blob/main/docs/trust/KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md). npm availability alone does not establish native-binary success.

## Existing project setup

Beta initialization is unavailable. Use an existing reviewed policy and baseline; this skill does not invoke legacy setup commands. Review project changes before committing them.

## Verify Locally

```bash
memi --profile connected --allow project-write --allow source-content-persistence --allow shell ci . --no-scope --report --json
```

The command may exit nonzero when findings exceed the configured gate. Treat that as a quality result, not a tool crash.

## Add GitHub Actions

Use the pinned major action in `.github/workflows/design.yml`:

```yaml
name: Design CI
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  design:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      security-events: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: memi-design/memi@v2
        with:
          version: "2.7.9"
```

## Completion Criteria

- Policy and baseline are reviewed and committed.
- Local CI produces SARIF and a design-health report.
- The workflow passes on unchanged accepted debt and fails on a seeded regression.
- The final handoff names the gate threshold, suppressed baseline count, active findings, and artifact paths.
