agents don’t need more “taste.” they need a stop condition

Summary

A developer describes an internal workflow for coding agents that uses real UI references and a design contract to enforce a stop condition, which became the paid tool UIZZE.

we kept telling coding agents to “make it polished.” they kept returning the same hero, rounded cards and brave little gradient blob. our internal fix was boring but effective: collect real references for the exact screen, write a small design contract, build, inspect in-browser, then fail the result against the contract. one developer pushed us to make that workflow public. it became UIZZE, and a few people now pay for it. builder disclosure: it’s mine and it’s paid. link in the comments per the rules. biggest lesson: if the agent can’t explain what would make the UI fail, it has no idea when it’s done.
