[00] design intelligence for AI agents

There isn’t one AI slop. There are three.

It’s not just the look — the skeleton repeats, and so does the copy. tastecheck refuses all three planes.

The look

Purple gradient or editorial serif — the same average, one season apart.

The structure

Centered hero, three cards, equal grid — the same bones under any skin.

The copy

The ChatGPT accent — buzzwords, hedging, one tired rhythm. We strip it.

It interviews you first.

No menus. It surfaces every decision you didn’t know you had.

01

It grills you

Function first, then references — it finds the pattern across what you love.

“‘Modern’ is a non-answer — name one you’d resemble.”
02

It commits

OKLCH palette with verified contrast, real type, structure, motion — as tokens.

“One dominant color, not five. And not indigo→violet.”
03

It builds & checks

The skills apply the system, then audit the result against your spec.

“That wine-red is the new tell. For your energy, push here.”
