Designers are about to care a lot about agent harnesses. Not the model itself, but the scaffolding around it. What state it holds between sessions, what tools it can reach, what it picks up without being told twice. Git solved this for code in 2005. Design still needs it.

@jshguo I keep reading "environment carries state". I guess git has this for code, but design doesn't have an equivalent? The session picks up, but the context doesn't.

built a stock picker designed for users who care about when, not just what. used tooltips to surface contextual moments with a bit of personality. takeaway: the visual treatment of the graphs made some iterations feel very "robot" so changes were made to make it more believable.

17 prompts to make a toggle feel like bubblegum. Most of them were just me asking Claude to kill things that felt cheap. Interactive skeuomorphism? Had an idea to add one of my favorite genre (pop art) to make it relatable... and kitschy. Stopped when my gut told me to.

just learned Figma > Claude Code works, but not the other way around. curious if that's a roadmap thing or a complexity thing.

Revived my X account because of this. I started treating AI tools like a playground, not a product. No deliverable or client! Just... can I rebuild that cool thing I just saw? It's been so humbling, chaotic, and fun. Thanks @nateherk & @designertom for getting me started 😬
