Core thesis: “Best AI design” appears only at Level 3

The video argues that the quality difference between “looks custom” vs “screams AI-generated” comes from a 3-level design workflow:

  1. Level 1: Single-page design (most tutorials stop here)
  2. Level 2: System-level design for the whole app/site
  3. Level 3: Programmatic testing of the design, using an engineering-like loop similar to TDD

Level 1 — Prompting to avoid generic/AI-looking output

Problem with single-page prompts

  • Even when model design quality improves (example mentioned: Opus 4.7 design capability is better and “AI slop” reduced),
  • Models still tend to converge to safe patterns.
  • There’s a recurring default style; when that style appears, the site is likely generated by Opus 4.7 and will quickly become the next “AI slop.”
  • Therefore, you must go beyond basic “create a landing page” prompting.

How to structure the prompt (key technical guidance)

The prompt should include, in order:

  • Intent: what kind of website/app you’re building
  • Non-negotiables: required app features and UI element appearance
  • Color system
    • Use OKLCH instead of RGB/HSL
    • OKLCH improves human-perceived lightness/chroma/hue handling
    • Produces smoother gradients than uneven hex-based gradients
  • Contrast rules / contrast flows
    • Contrast creates visual hierarchy
    • If omitted, the model treats everything as equal importance
  • Typography constraints
    • Explicitly ban fonts known to be default “AI slop giveaways” (examples cited: Inter, Gist)
    • Specify which fonts to use in which regions
  • Layout strategy
    • Explain symmetry vs asymmetry
    • Symmetry = grid-aligned, “professional/straight” look
    • Asymmetry = more artistic, works well with negative space
    • Choose based on the product type/goal
  • Sections, materials, responsiveness requirements
  • Anti-patterns
    • Must explicitly forbid known “AI slop” hallmarks (examples: centered CTA patterns, Lucid-icon style, glassmorphism gradients)

Implementation workflow mentioned

After the prompt is supplied to an agent (e.g., Claude Code), it:

  • Implements the app “just like the prompt”
  • Uses asymmetry/negative space when prompted for that goal
  • Attempts to avoid “anti-patterns” through instruction

Level 2 — Keep design consistent across pages using shared design files

Why Level 2 matters

When generating whole apps, the model often:

  • Produces a decent landing page
  • Then breaks style consistency on dashboards/other pages:
    • different button styles, spacing, typography
    • pages feel like they aren’t part of the same product
    • sometimes only dashboards break the style

Solution: maintain a design “system” via two files

The video recommends creating:

  • claude.md
    • Contains project info only, not design content
    • Reason: keeps design context from distracting the agent (loaded continuously)
    • Still anchors overall context that helps coherent design
  • design.md
    • Contains the full visual system:
      • colors, typography, spacing/layout rules, etc. from Level 1
    • Designed so any agent can pick it up and understand the visual system immediately

Iterative refinement for design consistency

  • Add an instruction at the top of design.md telling the agent to:
    • append any new design rules/values it discovers
    • so each session begins with a more refined design system

Validation using templates + cross-checks

  • The video references Google’s open-source template for the design.md
  • The template includes commands to cross-verify and flag errors
  • Agents are prompted to iterate until the design system matches best-practice format/structure

Auditing against evolving design principles

  • Use an open-source “skill” that audits designs against UI principles.
  • They specifically mention Versal Lab skill:
    • not hard-coded rules; it points to an external actively maintained source
    • keeps principles updated instead of freezing at an old “state-of-the-art”

Sponsor segment (product mention)

  • Zill’s Cloud (video sponsor) for RAG apps and vector search performance.
  • Mentions Milvvis as an open-source vector database (high GitHub stars; “over 44,000”).
  • Claim: Zill’s Cloud is a fully managed option:
    • up to 10x faster
    • setup “in minutes”
    • keeps the same API
    • includes cluster performance/storage/data metrics in real time
  • Demonstrates semantic search relevance + recommendation-style similarity query results under a second.

Level 3 — Design testing via TDD-like workflows (design “tests”)

Main idea

Since design is subjective, you can’t test it like deterministic code inputs/outputs—but you can still create “tests” by:

  • pinning down expected behaviors and constraints
  • enforcing them programmatically using rules/anti-patterns

Test-first loop using claude.md + design.md as the source of truth

  • Tests are written before implementation
  • The video warns:
    • If tests are added after code, the agent “slacks off” and writes tests that match what it already built
  • Test-first forces the implementation to satisfy the expected design constraints

What becomes test cases

  • The design.md content includes anti-patterns and rules
  • Each anti-pattern/rule becomes:
    • a static test (programmatic checks for presence/violation)
    • plus visual/regression tests (screenshot-based)

Tools mentioned for testing

  1. Playwright-based visual testing

    • Used for regression checks
    • Provides screenshot comparisons as tests evolve
  2. Vizly test (CLI) for UI TDD

    • Runs local TDD as the UI changes
    • Provides better diffs than simple screenshot side-by-side:
      • reports which pixels changed and by how much
    • Workflow described:
      • Install/initialize CLI from docs
      • In Claude Code, instruct it to use Vizly as the testing medium
      • Running “Vizly TDD” starts a local server that monitors screenshot changes
      • Claude writes separate tests (named “Vizly”) that push screenshots to a viewer
      • You approve/deny diffs
      • Rejected diffs become feedback for the next iteration
    • Goal: design converges to what the human wants, not what the agent assumes.

Distribution mention

  • Prompts used for this process are available in AIABS Pro for this and prior videos.
