building — UI taste for Codex, Claude Code & Cursor. stop shipping generic AI UI slop.

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

codex can write the UI. the annoying part is stopping it from shipping the same 12 rounded cards again.

we built UIZZE as an internal visual reference + critique layer. a dev said ship it, so we did.

@00aventurine @NickADobos code stopped being the bottleneck. now taste + distribution are lol. wrappers arent magic, but deleting a week of frontend work is still… a thing

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@nikskld this is the right layer. tho a frontend skill with no actual reference evidence still turns “art-directed” into the same dark dashboard w nicer spacing lol. built https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT to give it the screens first

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@raffichill @recentdesign cursor + real screenshots is so much better than asking it to hallucinate “clean modern ui” for the 900th time lol

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@ovitrif @Wu10903433 @MandleHu @claudeai sol gets 80% there then celebrates by adding the same 4 cards again lol. real product screens before code fixes more than another “less generic” prompt. thats why i built https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@zairalaraib_ this is exactly where claude gives u 4 glass cards, a purple blob and calls it “award worthy” lol. real references beat 900 adjectives every time. thats why i built https://t.co/iQ6x8YlOA7

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@talwar_divyam missing the real annoying step imo: 3–5 real product screens before codex touches the layout. otherwise every “taste” rule somehow becomes the same dark dashboard again lol. built https://t.co/iQ6x8YlOA7 for exactly that

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@_codemeow sol is scary good at the first 80%. then it still tries to sneak the same shiny cards into literally everything lol. thats the annoying bit we built https://t.co/iQ6x8YlOA7 for

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

Codex writes the whole interface in one sitting, then proudly hands you the exact same dashboard it gave everyone else lol

we built UIZZE internally because yelling “make it less generic” 14 times was not a design system.

now its public: https://t.co/iQ6x8YlOA7

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@D_the_Designer the build speed is kinda stupid now lol. taste is still the annoying bit, codex keeps trying to sneak the same dashboard into everything. thats basically why i built https://t.co/iQ6x8YlOA7

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@DaveRekuc @aohare @codyplof this workflow is miles better than asking the agent to invent a store from vibes. theme + real product refs + preview QA is basically the anti-slop trifecta. we use https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT for the refs bit

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@shiplogged @shoupw_ the AI default aesthetic being a fingerprint is exactly it lol. same visual reference + an originality score is a much better test. we built https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT for that reference/finish-gate loop

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@_andresjasso @claudeai @OpenAI @cursor_ai this is basically where we landed too, except we made the reference + finish-gate part tool agnostic so whichever agent is coding has the same taste. https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT lives in the loop now

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@anumness codex can write the pixels fine, it just needs taste injected lol. the model gap got way smaller for us once we forced real product refs + a finish gate into the loop: https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@__alula this is the catch with giant negative-prompt files: you cant subtraction your way into taste lol. we went the other direction and feed the agent 800k+ real product screens before it designs: https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@0xfeMMANUEL 100%. people forgive rough edges, they dont forgive instantly recognizing the same 3-card dashboard 😭 references before code has been the only reliable fix for us: https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@0xLalice @jturntdev @Pps831 "card" becoming the whole design system because the prompt said it 10x is painfully on brand 😭 we started feeding codex real product refs at https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT mostly to stop exactly this

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@ailearningai yep. the trick is giving the agent real product screens before it starts, then making it explain the choices instead of freestyle-carding everything 😭 thats literally why we built https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@gidado0gcd @ImLukeF https://t.co/Wold6qs9tn ?

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

@CallMeDiegoJr “Codex shipped the same dashboard again” was literally the day we built UIZZE 😭 the plastic UI survives every “make it polished” prompt, so we started giving agents real product evidence + a finish gate instead. https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT

[Samuel Bushi 🇪🇺 @samuelbushii]

Codex made the screen. technically fine. also looked like every AI dashboard i'd seen that week 😭

so we turned UIZZE into an installable anti-slop skill: real product patterns → design contract → finish gate.

npx skills add https://t.co/StZ6x12hqT --skill anti-ai-ui-slop
