Tools (30)

get_design_directionGet a complete, distinctive, reference-backed art direction for a website: palette with exact hex roles, type pairing, layout DNA, hero spec, component treatments, imagery rules, matched motion recipes, and public-product reference evidence. Use FIRST, before building, so the site has a coherent dir
list_directionsBrowse the full 'pick a vibe' menu: all 14 named art directions (9 light-base, 5 dark-base) with their taglines, vibe tags, and what each is best for. Use when the user wants to SEE the available directions and choose one themselves, rather than have get_design_direction auto-pick from the business.
get_app_themeGet a LOCKED design-token system for application UI (dashboards, admin panels, SaaS tools): every color role contrast-checked, exactly two radii, a five-step type scale, spacing, elevation and motion tokens, plus a Tailwind v4 semantic mapping, the theme's usage law, and the app-UI slop rulebook. Th
get_component_codeGet FINISHED application-UI components (React + Tailwind, zero dependencies) written against a Standout app theme's semantic tokens: app shell with sidebar/topbar, stat row with mono tabular metrics, data table with layout-matched loading skeletons + instructive empty state + inline retryable error,
critique_uiDeterministic critique for APPLICATION UI (dashboards, admin panels, SaaS views): runs the app-UI slop rulebook against React/JSX/HTML source (radius chaos, card-in-card, gray-on-gray text, raw palette classes, missing empty/loading/error states, clickable divs, killed focus rings) and, when a Stand
critique_designBrutal, specific design critique of an existing page: automatic AI-slop detection (banned gradients, centered-hero defaults, h-screen bugs, cliche copy) plus a prioritized fix list with exact values. When you pass a URL, the response also includes LIVE SCREENSHOTS of the rendered page at phone (390p
polish_and_proveTHE PRIMARY STANDOUT WORKFLOW. Use this when a user wants an AI-built website made client-ready without choosing individual design tools. First call: pass url (best), source, or business. Standout captures the baseline, scores the real phone and desktop render, chooses a coherent direction, and retu
make_it_standoutDetailed transformation plan for power users. For the complete inspect, fix, rerender, and client-proof workflow, prefer polish_and_prove. This tool classifies and scores a site, returns exact fix patches, chooses a creative spine and direction, and emits a paste-ready implementation prompt.
client_reportGenerate a CLIENT-READY design audit report for an agency to send to its client: a Standout Score, what's holding the page back, what to fix and why it matters, a client-safe summary, and the page screenshots — all in plain language with NO internal jargon. Pass url for the current page; optionally
get_section_codeFinished, art-directed HTML/CSS page sections for a design direction: nav, hero, offer, image band, story, and footer — composed by a designer, seeded to this business (accent + expression already applied). Use AFTER get_design_direction: assemble the sections and replace only the content (copy + im
get_hero_conceptGet a complete hero section concept: headline + subline copy (no marketing cliches), CTA labels, exact background treatment, and copy-paste ambient motion CSS matched to the design direction.
get_asset_packReady-to-paste CSS for a direction: custom properties (palette + fonts), button/card/nav treatments, grain texture, Google Fonts import, and the matched motion recipe list.
get_showpieceThe tier ABOVE the design directions: finished showpiece skeletons for scene-led, art-directed pages - world hero with environment bleed, VIDEO world hero (looping cinematic clip + liquid-glass chrome + word-by-word blur reveals), type-scene interlock (mega type behind a cutout subject), monochrome
get_motion_recipesProduction-ready motion for any stack: CSS/vanilla-JS recipes (staggered entrances, scroll reveals, marquees, grain, parallax) PLUS finished shader-grade ambient pieces - WebGL gradient mesh, image ripple displacement, live halftone, velocity-reactive type rail, scroll-scrubbed zoom portal - palette
get_premium_componentsStandout-original premium primitives: luxury hero backgrounds, Framer-style dials/gauges, shader/glass cards, soft section transitions, proof rails, pricing plates, and headline motion. Returns copy-paste HTML/CSS/vanilla JS snippets with reduced-motion fallbacks. Use when the user asks for premium,
assemble_premium_pageAssemble a coherent premium build kit from Standout-original primitives: type scale, spacing rhythm, hero background, card/surface, dial or metric, section transition, text motion, and proof/pricing. Use before building a luxury/high-end/Framer-like page so the agent has real components instead of g
search_referencesSearch Standout's curated reference library: real public-product style, screen, and component patterns with source URLs, color roles, layout notes, component rules, do/don't constraints, and agent implementation notes. Use before or during a build when you need evidence-backed visual patterns.
get_referenceGet the full structured payload for one reference: source URL, categories, tags, colors, typography, layout pattern, component rules, imagery, motion, do/don't constraints, and agent implementation notes.
get_similar_referencesFind references similar to a known reference by shared tags, categories, use cases, and StandOut direction ids. Use after finding one strong reference to broaden the evidence set.
search_flowsSearch reference-backed user journeys such as API key onboarding, pricing selection, hospitality booking, marketplace search, quickstart activation, and portfolio inquiry. Use when the page is part of a multi-step task, not just a visual screen.
get_flowGet the full step-by-step payload for one user journey: problem, steps, user actions, system responses, related direction ids, and agent implementation notes.
synthesize_direction_from_referencesTurn a business brief plus optional reference ids into a reference-backed build direction. Returns the chosen StandOut direction, matching public-product references, relevant flow patterns, a synthesized build plan, implementation lock, and next tool calls. Use when you want the agent to build from
build_from_referenceReference-first build — 'show me what you like, I'll build it.' Give a reference you LIKE (a public site URL via reference_url, and/or a curated library id via reference_id from search_references) plus what YOU are building, and get back a matching StandOut direction, a reference-backed build plan,
build_from_reference_v2Reference Intelligence Layer — build from a site you like without cloning it. Pass a public reference_url plus what YOU are building and optional favorite_bits such as 'hero animation', 'pricing card', or 'color mood'. Standout captures server-readable HTML/CSS signals, extracts Reference DNA, names
critique_similarityOriginality guardrail — compare a built page/source/description against a reference site and flag shared recognizable fingerprints. Use after build_from_reference_v2, before showing or publishing, to avoid producing a design that is visually too close to the inspiration.
get_free_trial_keySelf-provision a free Standout trial key (25 calls, no signup) without leaving the conversation. Call this when no license key is configured or your Standout calls return a license error. Returns the key plus the exact reconnect instructions to hand your user. Free and unmetered; issuance is capped
unlock_bonus_callsUnlock 10 bonus calls on this trial key, one time only, in exchange for the user's email address. Call this when the trial limit is reached and the USER has chosen the free-bonus option and given you their email in this conversation. NEVER guess, invent, or reuse an email the user did not explicitly
watch_siteWatch a live site's design score (Pro). Standout re-audits the URL about once a day and emails an alert when the design regresses: a drop of more than 5 points, or falling below the 85 client-ready bar. Use it right after shipping a client site so a broken deploy is caught before the client sees it.
unwatch_siteStop watching a site's design score. Pass the same URL that was given to watch_site. Unmetered.
list_watchesList this license's active site watches with their last known scores and check times. Unmetered.
