Framesmith 1.7 – a quality gate that tells an AI agent when a UI is done

- Framesmith is an open-source tool (a "quality gate") that lets developers set rules for when an AI coding agent has finished building a UI component. Instead of the agent guessing when something looks right, Framesmith checks the rendered HTML/CSS against predefined criteria (e.g., layout, colors, spacing) and gives a pass/fail signal. - It was created by Vic Master, an independent developer. The project is hosted on GitHub and has gained traction among developers who use AI coding assistants (like Cursor, Copilot, or Claude) to generate frontend code. - The problem it solves: AI agents are good at generating code but bad at knowing when the result is "done" visually — they tend to iterate forever or stop too early. Framesmith acts as an automated referee. - Version 1.7 (announced April 2025) adds support for specifying expected layout structure (e.g., "a header, then a sidebar, then a main area"), making the quality checks more semantic rather than purely pixel-based.
