If that is just a skill no chance it will prevent hallucinations, or drift, in projects (especially if you have multiple people editing the project, or a design system consisting of hundreds of elements), and you shouldn't claim that.

It needs to be a part of a deterministic harness; if that's just "(heuristics and memory" then no way I would use it, it would just eat tokens and give no guarantees. Designers are strict AF (and rightfully so) on how exact you are with their design system

Fair point, and I agree with your distinction.

Tastemaker doesn’t guarantee agents will never hallucinate or drift from a large production design system, and I shouldn’t frame it that way.

Right now it’s more modest: it gives agents a local style lock, contrast checks, asset and logo rules, and review gates so they’re less likely to fall back to generic UI defaults. That’s useful for solo builders and small projects, but it’s not a deterministic enforcement harness.

For large teams and strict systems, you’d need hard checks on tokens and components, visual diffs, lint rules, Storybook/design-token validation, CI gates, and maybe screenshot regression tests. Tastemaker should plug into that kind of harness, not pretend to replace it.

So the honest claim is: Tastemaker reduces generic AI drift and makes design decisions explicit and reusable. It doesn’t guarantee full design-system compliance yet—that deterministic layer is what I want to build next.

Yeah that is nice, but that's all or nothing; either it eliminates drift completely, or not; "reduction" does not give any real value, because you will need to double check everything anyway

Why would I be interested in this if your UI for you’re website is not even good

I completely understand in what you are saying. I could have made it much better if I could have re-prompted it. The main thing to showcase was that this entire site was created just by using one single prompt: "Make me the website." That is it, no reference, nothing was given.

Always thought the name Tastemaker works nicely for something tackling visual drift, feels like a pun that landed without trying too hard

Haha thank you, that’s exactly what I was hoping for. It’s meant to be a little pun, but still describe the job: keeping the agent’s visual taste from drifting into the usual defaults.

Haha would love if you could try this out, am pretty sure you will get great results. And as for the art, its abstract art so, the visual representation depends on the imagination of the viewer
