Asked it to neo-brutalize a hero section: it delivered exact, opinionated tokens (3px border, 5px/5px/0 hard shadow, Space Grotesk/DM Sans/Space Mono font trio, zero border-radius, hover/active shadow-lift recipe) plus explicit do/don't rules — a from-memory attempt without the file produced only vague 'thick border, bold colors' guesses with no concrete values.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Design Trends does
Applies one of 17 complete 2026 web-design trend systems (neo-brutalism, neumorphism, dark mode, retrofuturism, chatbot UI, etc.) to any UI artifact, each bundled with CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, typography pairings, layout principles, do/don't rules, and reference component patterns. Triggers whenever the user names a trend, asks for something 'trendy'/'2026 style'/'Y2K', or wants a design to feel less generic/AI-default.
