> Ultra-minimal surfaces, keyboard-first density and one precise purple accent — software that feels engineered.
> Distilled by design.live · updated Jul 2026
> Agent prompt: "Use the design.live MCP and make it look like Linear."

## Evidence coverage (private beta)
screens indexed:       658
screens VLM-annotated: 322

Evidence returned by the MCP is deduplicated, ranked for the request, and linked to source and permission provenance. Counts reflect the canonical evidence-store snapshot, not invented adoption or asset totals.

## Retrieval
Ask the design.live MCP for the project brief, constraints, and desired Linear qualities. It returns ranked evidence and an agent-ready implementation plan; do not copy a source screen wholesale.
