Impeccable 3 natively supports crafting new design with diffusion (e.g. GPT Image 2) in harnesses that support it (e.g. Codex, Gemini w/ nano banana plugin). Impeccable now uses the best mode of operation for net-new vs iterative design: 1) completely new design: diffusion-first, then build w/ best practices for brand or product design (new in 3.0) 2) iterative design (additions/changes): design-system first, discovers your components, reads DESIGN/PRODUCT.md, goes to work. new live mode (new in 3.0) makes it extra convenient. Here's a tutorial documenting the whole workflow (incl. how I made the demo site in the video):

Introducing Impeccable 3.5, the best way to design in production: iterate on real UI with your AI agent, in the codebase you actually ship. Turns out many popular design skills, including Impeccable and Anthropic's frontend-design, weren't actually very good at...design (the workflow was valuable, but the output didn't magically make LLMs like GPT great designers). We measured it across thousands of generations: 74% of pages used the cream AI-default background, 76% reached for extreme letter-spacing, 90%+ failed the contrast floor. So we started fixing slop systematically, specific to each model. The skill now compiles rules for the exact defects each model makes, instead of shipping one generic file to everyone. The biggest jump is in GPT-5.5 and Codex. Also new: ◆ It now knows the difference between a new project and an existing one. Existing codebase, it reads your design system and preserves your identity. Greenfield, it seeds a fresh palette from 129 hand-curated anchors so every cold start doesn't drift to the same safe colors. ◆ Live Mode is now in beta, and works at two scales. Type a direction into the new Steer bar, or speak it, and the agent reads the whole page and edits it in place. Or pick a single element, steer it with a sub-command, live-edit any copy, and accept the variant straight back to source. Insert mode scaffolds brand-new elements between the ones already there. Recovery survives HMR, hidden heroes, and dev-tool overlays. ◆ A rebuilt anti-pattern detector. Torn off jsdom and onto a real CSS cascade resolver: roughly 20x faster, dependency-free, and now small enough to run inline inside the skill, not just the CLI and extension. 14 new rules, 41 total. ◆ The skill keeps itself current, checking once a day and offering to update. Plus /impeccable init and a bare /impeccable that reads your repo and tells you the next move. Free, open source. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more.
