We just published a detailed investigation into whether AI agent skills can push

We just published a detailed investigation into whether AI agent skills can push front-end from "competent" to "genuinely beautiful" — with blind testing to prove it.

Key findings:

  • Built 8 skills (7 knowledge + 1 process)
  • First evaluation: tie on correctness (we were measuring the wrong thing)
  • Blind test: skilled agent won both tasks at high confidence
  • The process skill (render-critique-refine loop) was the breakthrough

The article covers the full methodology, results, and what we changed based on the findings.
