Design inside your codebase. Introducing Impeccable 3.0: ▸ 1 skill, self-contained, 23 commands ▸ /impeccable live: pick in-browser, get prod-grade variants, accept writes to *source* ▸ reads+writes DESIGN.md + PRODUCT.md ▸ brand & product design

I've been building for a month and after watch this is Impeccable is going to be a 1st class citizen in it! Amazing work!!! Thanks for sharing

You’re welcome!

worth noting: Live Mode is alpha - there are a lot of things that could break when you try it (most recoverable by your agent though). It's my take on a future of designing live in your actual code base, but there's a lot more work to do. there's a lot more battle tested new features in 3.0! this is the only one that's alpha. Go try if you're adventurous :)

@impeccable_ai Dang feels like 2.0 was yesterday how fast are we moving now

@impeccable_ai can’t stop shipping 😬

Writing back to source from the browser is the killer detail here.

yep it was really painful to build 😅 but I think paid off.

this is such a great skill, been using it across a bunch of projects lately 🔥

🙌 thank you!

Wow the road from v0 to v3 is incredible ! What new unlock made you change the shape of the skills to a self contained ?

thx! It was a real trade off. It’s easier to find the right commands when the skills are individual, but many individual skills waste a lot of your tokens on every message turn (apparently Claude objects the skills palette on every message turn now). I’ll probably write an article about how I made “live” happen self contained in a skill. It was really hard but fun.

The previous version has been amazing. Can’t wait to try 3.0.

thank you! hope you’ll like it :)

This looks amazing, can't wait to try it!

ty, hope it works well for you!

banger skill!

haven't even had time to test the v2 thoroughly yet 😊looks truly great, congrats on the launch!

haha thank you!

Can’t wait to try it. Impeccable has quickly become a favorite skill of mine and is on my short list for anyone in design or design adjacent.

let me know how it goes! This is the most ambitious launch so far.

Any suggestions on how to best leverage the new updated version on existing sites and custom elements that we built? One of my favorite things to do is take our designs and pass them through impeccable in Claude code and then we usually end up with a much more polished final product even if we only adopt 70 to 80% of the changes. I think it’s quickly turned into my favorite design related skill, but it looks like this takes impeccable in a different direction. I wonder if our use case is more of an edge case or the norm?

this is very much part of my flow as well, and hopefully became even better, not worse in this version! The live mode imo also helps here, but is only an optional new layer. You can still use Impeccable just like you did before (with added bonus that it has much better product design understanding now)

Thanks for taking the time to respond! Will share some of our work once we get into it.

Big fan of impeccable, since I started using it stopped seeing AI purple puke UIs

the purple must stop!

Big fan

🙏

love it! excellent additions and changes here in 3.0 🤘🏻💀

thanks Adam! this has been a crazy one to build haha

I’m excited to dig in. Was that Intent you were using in your video?

what do you mean by Intent?

ah! nope, that was plain ol' cursor (well, new cursor :)). Composer 2 is a very fast model, so good for a live, uncut demo like this. Opus would produce much better results though, it's a speed/quality compromise.

awwww fun! i do admire 🙂

ha :) curious if you got any good results! high bar to impress the one and only Adam Argyle with a design tool..

This is awesome, but why free ? It's a full product here with your own vision I don't see any interest of open sourcing.

I’ve now hit the edges of what’s possible and sensible with a free skill! Thinking about what pro could look like.

damn!

💪

very excited to take this for a spin! I'm making a side project with a similar UX - select something in browser -> tell agent what to do right from there. Feels like the direct manipulation experience that's been missing. Your design stuff is next level tho

thanks Dave! Agree, I think this is a really neat way of iterating. It was a pain to build though, very fragile. Hope to work with the frontier labs to make it easier.

yeah I bet! I'm sure you'll iron it out, amazing idea.

Love this direction! This new UX is inspired by UIsh, but using your already awesome foundation. I have been sharing this with friends and teams I work with.

thx! was noodling on this before uish shipped, but agree, that was another push for me to release it. Impeccable Live works in the reverse direction though: You can stay entirely in the browser, and variants get sent back to the browser.

@erikmejias thank you! what ide was that?

@pbakaus @erikmejias Looked like Cursor to me

@VinegarWrites @erikmejias yes, Cursor. Works in CC and Codex as well, of course. Composer 2 is just good for a quick demo because it is very fast. Design in Composer 2 is a lot more lackluster though.

The reads+writes to DESIGN.md approach is actually genius. Less context switching.

yep, that’s the goal!

Nice!

Wow, this looks very awesome

ty!

This looks great. Will def try tomorrow 🫡

Very coooool!!! Big fan here 🚀

🙌

This is very cool, well done!

thank you!

Oooo very nice! I just used impeccable to improve a dev studio I run and showed it to some folks and they loved it!

that’s great to hear!

Incredible stuff!

thanks Mike!

Thank you! This is one of my favourite tools atm.

how is this free?? 🔥🔥

😅 at some point I’ll have to focus on Impeccable Pro I guess??

it already is very pro. not the usual make-it-pretty styleguides, but the details that matter to pros.

Looks fantastic! Is it actually directly writing into the codebase or rather we see a preview and then, when accepted, the variant is turned into a prompt which is sent to the agent modifying the codebase?

it’s a combination. 80-90% is a direct write into your code base (even initially), and then there’s a small “carbonize” step to move the inline CSS into the right structure/files. But the HTML is already in your source, won’t get prompted and regenerated after the fact.

Nothing short of impressive 🤯

Will give it a try!

Exciting, so many great ideas wrapped into this! Can't wait to fully test it out.

🙌

this is the core problem. spec drift isnt a discipline issue, its a tooling gap. the spec was correct when written. nobody knows when it stopped being correct

Does this work well to when building mobile apps ??

some use it for that, but I would say not yet. Right now focused on web design. Planned for the future.

Any reason why the live feature is a skill instead of it being a programmatic command?

yes - if it was part of e.g. Impeccable's cli (npx impeccable), it wouldn't have access to your live agent harness to generate variants (would have to go through API). It would be way more robust though. Likely the path for an eventual pro version.

spec-as-md is a great pattern but once DESIGN.md and the actual rendered UI disagree, the agent regenerates against stale spec and tgap compounds Round trip parsing the source back into md is usually what keeps this honest at scale

nice design but can it actually save me from paying a ui designer? if not i'll just keep using my $0.50 prompt trick

that’s something for you to decide! personally, I think no tool on the market, including Impeccable, can currently replace a world class designer. But it can help devs and designers be better at what they do.

Vou testar aqui

thx! looks like a pretty interactive app - on generated code, live mode could be a bit finicky. If you find issues, report back

You're welcome! I'm trying to redo my map features because I think it's causing some kind of cognitive overload. haha. But I haven't publicly released it yet to get user feedback

cool! If live mode doesn't work, you can of course also use Impeccable normally directly in the terminal. It's an ideal use-case to try out the new enhanced product design understanding (vs brand).

I'm trying live mode right now. Oh my god, this is the most awesome thing in AI that I stumbled recently ahaha
