About

Taste Lab is a design extraction tool that turns any URL into a complete design-context bundle for an AI coding agent. Pointed at a site, it returns the colour palette, typography stack, spacing rhythm, and shadow scale, along with the reasoning behind each decision, not just measurements but the trade-offs the designer made.

The output plugs into Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or any agent that takes structured design briefs, so the agent matches the reference's visual language instead of producing generic styling.

It is open source on GitHub and aimed at developers who want AI-generated UI to look like a specific reference rather than a default template.

Why we picked it

Taste Lab made the cut for returning the reasoning behind a design decision, not just the measurements — a color palette or spacing rhythm with the trade-offs explained is worth naming for an AI coding agent that needs to understand a site's design intent, not just copy its numbers.
