Smartdesign – Helps avoid AI design in vibe-coded software
Smartdesign is a practical design language created to guide both humans and AI agents in building clear and consistent software interfaces. It addresses the issue of AI-generated UIs prioritizing speed and decoration over user intent and accessibility. The framework emphasizes minimalism, visual restraint, and comprehensive state management to ensure effective communication.
- ▪Smartdesign serves as a shared standard to prevent AI from producing polished but contextually inappropriate interfaces.
- ▪The framework advocates for intent-first design, requiring an understanding of the user's workflow before adding structure or style.
- ▪Principles include removing redundant chrome, avoiding visual effects that replace clear communication, and ensuring accessibility by default.
- ▪Designers are instructed to treat all interface states, such as loading and errors, as integral parts of the design rather than afterthoughts.
- ▪A final checklist is provided to verify that interactions are keyboard-accessible and that existing systems are reused rather than reinvented.
