About design-image-to-code
Turn a reference image or mockup into a working local frontend that matches it closely. Inspects the image, extracts the design system (layout, type, spacing, color, components), implements it, then screenshot-compares and iterates to close the gap. Use when the user says "image to code", "build this mockup", "code this screenshot", "make this design real", or provides a UI image to implement. Part of the Product Design set. Uses a browser tool for screenshot verification.
