N° 01The code‑native design builder

Agents build.
You decide.

Design system, screens, flows and review, all inside your repository. Nothing ships until you approve it.

§ IThesis

Design used to be drawn in one place and built in another. Auis keeps it where the product already lives, in the code.

  1. I.The repository is the canvas.

  2. II.Agents work under rules.

  3. III.You keep the final word.

§ IIHow it works

Every step is a skill. The last one is yours.

§ IIIReview Mode

Say it on the screen. Watch it change.

Review Mode sits on top of your running app. Six ways to say what is wrong, one place to approve the fix.

§ IVThe rulebook

Freedom for the agent. Rules for the system.

AGENTS.md is read before any file is touched.

Tokens are sacred.
ds:check flags every hardcoded value.
Reuse before you create.
A fixed lookup order comes first.
Everything is registered.
Styleguide, State Mode, UX Flows.
A session, condensed

Illustrative session. Your agent, your repository, your rules.
