Hi everyone!
Drawing on the experience behind every product I made, I updated them all for the way we build today. AI was one of the tools I used, but the decisions are mine: which rules to write, which details to protect, what the assistant may change and what it must leave to you. Every design rule, limit and instruction is defined and maintained by the author, and the assistant works within them.
Every Multithemes product for Elements, projects and components alike, now follows four principles:
-
Human-crafted: designed and tested by its author. AI helps, it does not decide.
-
AI-ready: a guide written by the designer tells your AI assistant how the product works and where its limits are.
-
Kept alive: updates and fixes as Elements evolves.
-
Supported: you talk to the person who built it.
I have just finished updating all of them, so that each one works with the Elements AI Assistant and with external assistants connected through the MCP Server.
What changed
- Projects (Lander, Cordial, Lumi, Flexer, Regen, Wonder, Linear One, Noir One, Ascent, Expose): each one includes a design guide saved in the project memory. It teaches the assistant the style of the project, the section models, what is shared by the whole site and what belongs to a single page, and the steps that are up to you. With the latest Elements you can open it yourself: AI Memory > style-visual.md.
- Components: each one includes instructions for the assistant, so you can ask in plain words and the assistant sets the component up correctly.
Why AI makes building faster, and it also makes copying faster. I believe the value of a product is no longer only in its code, but in the choices behind it and in the care that keeps it alive. That is what the four principles above protect.
Feedback is welcome
