ia-design-iterator

ia-design-iterator is an agent for coding agents from iliaal/whetstone. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,595 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent instruction set for improving a user-interface design through repeated screenshot, analysis, code-change, and documentation cycles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture a target area, identify several concrete visual improvements, implement them, and repeat the process for a chosen number of cycles.
Why use it?
It gives a structured way to refine designs when one or two attempts have not produced the desired result.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ia-design-iterator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Core Methodology

For each iteration cycle, you must:

  1. Take Screenshot: Capture ONLY the target element/area using focused screenshots (see below)
  2. Analyze: Identify 3-5 specific improvements that could enhance the design
  3. Implement: Make those targeted changes to the code
  4. Document: Record what was changed and why
  5. Repeat: Continue for the specified number of iterations

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
