| Editorial verdict | The most direct starting point here for giving a new interface a deliberate visual identity. It asks the agent to ground a small design plan in the subject, review that plan, and critique the result. Its compact instructions leave implementation and repeatable technical checks to your existing tools. | The current v2 chooses art direction from a bundled library, builds around the subject, then checks and critiques browser screenshots. It targets public-facing pages across stacks rather than dashboards or app screens. Its local scripts need Node 22+ and Chrome, Edge or Chromium; finding images also needs network access. |
