AI slop was never a model problem. It is a context problem.
Ask any model for a dashboard and you get the same page: gray-100 background, white cards, default recharts purple, an emoji in the title, a blue Submit button. Not because the model can't do better — because you gave it nothing to look at, so it fell back to the statistical average of every tutorial screenshot ever written.
Fix the context once, and everything you build after that looks designed. The fix is three skills that sit between you and the model:
- The design manager (design-packages) — what it should look like. 44 complete art directions, stored locally.
- The sourcer (design-stack) — where the building blocks come from. 16 galleries, every endpoint verified.
- The director (design-director) — which of the two runs first, and whether either should run at all.
One rule holds the whole system together: direction before components. Install components first and the page is anchored to their default palette; you then restyle everything twice. The director exists mostly to enforce that order.
There is an optional fourth — a launcher — in Step 06. It is a front door, not a brain. Every number on this page was re-checked on 17 September 2026, and the component count is broken down gallery by gallery in Step 03: no headline figure you can't reproduce with curl.
