Do you still review every UI change by hand when an agent writes it?
mfbzme · reddit · 2026-10-19
A developer on Reddit describes a persistent pain point with AI coding agents on frontend work: even with DESIGN.md and AGENTS.md rules in place, agents frequently bypass the existing component library and theme colors and invent their own styles, forcing manual review of every change.
He asks whether this is a common problem or whether others have found a setup where the agent reliably follows design constraints, and mentions he's building something around it. Good thread for comparing approaches like reference screenshots, lint rules, and component whitelists.
