A Codex–Claude Design–Fable workflow for frontend design, implementation, and QA

A proposed Codex–Claude Design–Fable loop for frontend work
A user argues that Claude Design is useful only if you already have a frontend direction in mind; otherwise it tends to produce generic “Claude slop.” They say the default outputs have evolved from Delve to purple gradients to what Claude Design does now.
Their suggested workflow is:
- Use Codex and image generation examples to establish the frontend direction.
- Let a human approve the look and iterate on references.
- Use Claude Design to build the design system for that frontend.
- Have Codex implement the UI.
- Run Fable 5 via CC for QA.
- Ship with Codex.
They also quote someone saying Claude Design is much better than Sol for UI design, but still not good enough to stay in Codex alone for the whole workflow.
