The Restroom Archive

This restroom is accessible from the main interior of the bar and is the restroom through the door on the right. The room is compact with a patterened black, red, and white tile floor, completely covered with liquid. The surface of the walls is clad in reflective dark blue tile, and the brown door, wall above the toilet, and vaulted portion of the ceiling are completely covered in graffiti tags. The hand dryer is covered with stickers. There is a small wall mounted corner sink. There is no mirror. The lock on the door was unreliable, so I had to hold the doorknob with one hand while scanning.

The Design System Was Fine Until the Agents Moved In

Most design systems don't collapse. They drift, one AI-assisted shortcut at a time, until the product barely matches what the system says it should.

Programmable Notes

Agent-based note-taking systems that can prompt and facilitate custom workflows

AI skills library for design agents | Figma

AI skills in Figma Community are reusable instructions for artificial intelligence that shape how design agents behave. Published by Community members, these skills encode specific ways of working—naming conventions, layout preferences, component usage patterns, accessibility standards, and more. Instead of explaining your process every time, you give the agent a skill that already knows what you need and helps teams apply AI in everyday workflows. Skills cover a wide range of design workflows. You'll find skills for organizing layers, generating placeholder content, applying design system tokens, structuring auto layout, following brand guidelines, and handling common design tasks consistently. To use a skill, browse the library, find one that fits your workflow, and apply it to your design agent for hands-on practice with AI tools inside real workflows. The skill becomes part of how the agent operates, so the guidance carries forward across tasks and helps teams build practical skills as they use AI directly. You can also combine multiple skills to create layered instructions that reflect how your team actually designs.

Should we still design code for humans? | Thoughtworks

If AI is writing code, do we still need to design code for humans? Valentina Servile argues that we do and that we shouldn't give full autonomy to agents.
