Coding agents
Repo-aware agents that can read instructions, edit files, run checks and keep design rules close to implementation.
Tools
Suggested tools for agentic design workflows
The exact tool stack matters less than the workflow: generate direction, create assets, implement, screenshot, critique, refine, compress and ship.
Use tools to close the loop.
Tool names are descriptive references only. Teal Style does not claim affiliation with any provider or assume specific MCPs are installed.
Categories
The useful stack is mostly inspection.
The best design agents can read briefs, generate assets, inspect real pages and repair what screenshots reveal. They do not rely on taste words alone.
Image generation
Tools for hero assets, product mockups, brand plates and visual concept passes with explicit usage constraints.
Browser and screenshot QA
Rendered desktop and mobile screenshots for hierarchy, spacing, overflow, contrast and interaction review.
Design files
Figma or design-file access where available, used to inspect source direction rather than inventing a new system.
Asset compression
Image and SVG optimisation before shipping, especially for public SEO surfaces.
Accessibility checks
Contrast, keyboard focus, semantic structure, alt text and mobile readability checks.
SEO checks
Titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, sitemap, robots, structured data and internal links.
Prompt/version storage
Keep prompts, design.md files and QA notes versioned near the codebase.
Workflow note
Do not optimise the tool list before the loop works.
A boring screenshot review loop usually improves AI-built design more than another integration.
Brief -> design.md -> asset prompt -> implementation
Implementation -> screenshot -> critique -> ranked fixes
Ranked fixes -> patch -> screenshot again -> ship
