Claude was busy while I was at the office. RavenMCP v1.3 shipped today — three new knowledge layers for AI design work:
RESEARCH & MEASUREMENT
Qual / quant / usability methods — sample-size guidance, bias traps, protocols. Plus metrics frameworks: HEART, AARRR, North Star, conversion funnels, RICE, OKRs. Ask Claude how to measure success and get the playbook, not vibes.
SERVICE DESIGN
Stickdorn + Shostack principles, moments of truth, peak-end, human-handoff patterns, https://t.co/U2b3tHrlrd Service Standard. With an HTML service-blueprint generator — now with a two-actor / HI-loop mode for customer-lawyer, patient-doctor, buyer-agent flows. Two swim lanes, line of interaction, role avatars, current-vs-ideal.
BRAND & VISUAL
Logo rules, gradient usage, imagery, hierarchy, brand-as-system thinking. Plus a 2026 trends file (bento grids, monospace for tone, neon-on-glass, brutalism rebound) so Claude calibrates to now.
7 new tools. Install:

@ShaneKingUK@The_Real_Fly What are you going to do? Roll back into Taliban controlled areas and be like “Hey I know you rolled through here with ease, but can you give us the weapons back now?”
@The_Real_Fly LOL, when do they get Chick-fil-A? I’m so glad all these politicians went to Harvard, Yale, etc. They’re so learned and return so much value to their communities.
@elonmusk is there a trade in a lemon program? In the two years we’ve owned our Model S it’s been nothing but problems, service was just here on Tuesday and now we can’t drive it again.
