cathrynlavery/diagram-design hit #1 on GitHub Trending with 1,616 stars gained in 24 hours (8,520 total, 560 forks, MIT), shipping 27 editorial diagram types as self-contained HTML+SVG, installable via /plugin marketplace add cathrynlavery/diagram-design (GitHub). The pitch is purely aesthetic: one accent color, 1–2 focal elements, no shadows, WCAG AA contrast verification. It imports and redraws existing draw.io and Mermaid files and derives a brand palette from a 60-second website analysis. This is the finding I'd point at if someone asks why design background matters in agent work. The functional problem was solved years ago. Sixteen hundred people in one day wanted it to not look like garbage.
