Universal Quality Harness & Aesthetic Anti-Slop Linter for AI Coding Agents.
Deterministic AST-based UI linter (<1ms) + High-Converting Design Token Engine + Studio-Grade Multi-Domain Visual Harness. Built for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini 3.7 & Hermes Agent.
🎯 1 Problem. 1 Niche. 1 Market Gap.
| The AI Coding Pain | The VibeDesign-Harness Fix (v1.4.0) |
| :--- | :--- |
| Aesthetic AI-Slop & Toy-Box Logos: AI models consistently generate cheap purple gradients (from-purple-600 to-blue-600), toy-box sticker initial squares, raw emoji badges, muddy gray backgrounds (bg-gray-800), and AI-slop fonts (Syne, Space Grotesk, Outfit). | Deterministic AST Linter (<1ms): Intercepts and blocks 100% of generic AI anti-patterns before render (including Hallmark 57 gates, font blacklists, and elongated pill buttons). Supports --fix for instant token remediation. |
| Visual Inconsistency: Coding agents drift from brand guidelines across multi-turn sessions. | Zero-Token Pre-Engine: Injects structured DESIGN.md tokens (14 architectural themes: Precision Quiet Luxury, Swiss Minimalism, Vogue Haute Couture, Linear Dark, Modern Clean). |
| Framework Lock-in: Output locked into raw HTML. | Modern Export: Export directly to React (TSX Tailwind / Lucide) or clean standalone High-Converting Sales Pages / WebApp HTML. |
🚀 Quickstart
# 1. Audit any file or HTML component for AI-slop defects (<1ms)
npx vibe-design-harness lint src/App.html
# 2. Auto-fix detected AI-slop anti-patterns instantly
npx vibe-design-harness lint src/App.html --fix
# 3. Scaffold a high-converting sales page or dashboard layout (React TSX or HTML)
npx vibe-design-harness scaffold apple_luxury page.tsx --framework react
# 4. Generate DESIGN.md brand tokens for AI agents (Cursor / Claude / Gemini)
npx vibe-design-harness design-system apple_luxury "#65a30d" > DESIGN.md
# 5. Expand visual prompt across 30+ domains (Midjourney, FLUX, Imagen 3, DALL-E 3)
npx vibe-design-harness expand "minimalist luxury ceramic vessel on travertine stone" photorealism
🛡️ Anti-Slop Deterministic Guardrail Rules
Our linter runs 100% deterministic pattern matching at zero token cost:
- 🚫
toy-box-logo: Bans 2-letter uppercase initials inside gradient rounded squares. - 🚫
emoji-in-badge: Bans raw decorative emojis (🔥,⭐,🪙,🎁) inside buttons or status badges — enforces monochrome SVG stroke icons (stroke-width="1.5"). - 🚫
harsh-multi-gradient: Blocks violent multi-gradient color clashes (e.g. red-to-cyan or pink-to-yellow) on cards. - 🚫
generic-purple-ai: Blocks genericfrom-purple-600 to-blue-600default AI patterns. - 🚫
ai-slop-fonts: Blocks generic AI fonts (Space Grotesk,Syne,Outfit,Sora,Chivo). Enforces clean grotesque or serif (Inter,Plus Jakarta Sans,Oswald). - 🚫
elongated-pill-cta: Blocks unstyledrounded-full px-12+pill buttons; enforces balancedrounded-lgorrounded-xl. - ✅
tabular-nums: Enforces strict monospace numeric alignment on telemetry dashboards and price tags.
⚙️ Custom Configuration (.viberc.json)
Customize brand rules and ban lists directly in your project root:
