What it does
Picasso Orchestrator creates a closed feedback loop between design and implementation, ensuring pixel-perfect fidelity without manual back-and-forth. It converts a plain-language brief into a structured DESIGN.md specification, generates visual proposals via Claude Design, implements the code, renders it, and scores the result against weighted visual criteria (colors, typography, layout, motion, responsiveness, accessibility).
How it works
The loop runs 7 steps per round: request design → extract specs → implement code → render both desktop and mobile → score against 6 criteria → identify gaps → gate on 9.0/10 threshold. If the score passes, the design is approved. If it plateaus, the loop stops. Otherwise, it refines and retries automatically. A zero-context subagent applies only changed sections, cutting token usage by 3×.
Use cases
- Design systems validation: Verify implementations match 71+ brand systems without Pro+
- Rapid prototyping: Close the designer–developer feedback loop in minutes, not days
- Quality gates: Enforce mathematical fidelity standards instead of subjective reviews
- Accessibility audits: Built-in responsive and motion scoring across viewports
Who benefits
Design ops leaders, product designers working with developers, design system maintainers, and anyone frustrated by misaligned implementations. Works locally or cloud-based with Claude Code.
