Metapolator 
Metapolator will be a web-based parametric font editor, providing a GUI for designing with UFO fonts and Metafont technologies. Metapolator is intended for type designers to design large font families faster, and for typographically sensitive graphic designers to adjust their libre fonts for their exact needs. For example, expanding a single style design into a family of weights and widths, or fine-tuning the weight and width of a font for your exact needs.
Metapolator first provides a typical 'super' interpolation system that works with unlimited numbers of masters and axes, and will load and save normal UFO fonts.
It will go further, into 'metapolation': leveraging parameterization to create new masters. This will work best when glyphs are drawn as separate, overlapping shapes with pairs of points along each edge. This style of digital drawing is commonly practiced, as it helps when drawing shapes resembling strokes of pens.
The original drawn outline can be reconstructed from an inferred central skeleton (ductus) and Hobby splines (from Metafont.) This reconstruction process is flexible, working similarly to the 'nudge' tools of other font editors.
Metapolator will allow designers to use Metafont technology without have to write any Metafont code. But if you'd like that, check out metaflop.com

clearshot
Structured screenshot analysis for UI implementation and critique. Analyzes every UI screenshot with a 5×5 spatial grid, full element inventory, and design system extraction — facts and taste together, every time. Escalates to full implementation blueprint when building. Trigger on any digital interface image file (png, jpg, gif, webp — websites, apps, dashboards, mockups, wireframes) or commands like 'analyse this screenshot,' 'rebuild this,' 'match this design,' 'clone this.' Skip for non-UI images (photos, memes, charts) unless the user explicitly wants to build a UI from them. Does NOT trigger on HTML source code, CSS, SVGs, or any code pasted as text.

Use this agent when you need to design, implement, or improve user interface components and user experience flows. Examples include: creating new pages or components, improving existing UI layouts, implementing responsive designs, optimizing user interactions, building forms or dashboards, analyzing existing UI through browser snapshots, or when you need to ensure UI components follow design system standards and shadcn/ui best practices.\n\n<example>\nContext: User needs to create a new dashboard page for team management.\nuser: "I need to create a team management dashboard where users can view team members, invite new members, and manage roles"\nassistant: "I'll use the ui-ux-designer agent to design and implement this dashboard with proper UX considerations, using shadcn/ui components and our design system tokens."\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User wants to improve the user experience of an existing form.\nuser: "The signup form feels clunky and users are dropping off. Can you improve it?"\nassistant: "Let me use the ui-ux-designer agent to analyze the current form UX and implement improvements using our design system and shadcn/ui components."\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User wants to evaluate and improve existing UI.\nuser: "Can you take a look at our pricing page and see how we can make it more appealing and user-friendly?"\nassistant: "I'll use the ui-ux-designer agent to take a snapshot of the current pricing page, analyze the UX against Notion-inspired design principles, and implement improvements using our design tokens."\n</example>
