🛠 X and SpaceXAI Art Director Teaches AI Agents to Create 'Faux UI'

Benji Taylor published the open-source skill Stageshow for AI agents Grok Build, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini on October 31: it creates polished static and animated interface mockups for landing pages, promos, and infographics.

🌍 Design 'taste' is codified here: 5 typical layout errors (overload, skeleton wireframe, 'window in a frame', flatness, lack of personality) are converted into rules, and self-control is based on demo recording and contact sheet analysis, rather than a single screenshot.

👤 The skill is installed with the command npx skills add benjitaylor/skills --skill stageshow: the agent will generate hero demos, bento grids, and infographics in the style of Linear, Slack, Figma, and Notion for marketing, SEO illustrations, and feature presentations—without screen recording or a designer. The repository has gained 669 stars, but demos usually require edits.
