Tasteroll

Tasteroll (roll for taste, keep what sticks)

Most design generators either ask you everything (the full interview) or nothing (press a button, hope for the best). Tasteroll is the middle path: it audits what exists, asks at most three questions, fixes what is broken, then rolls between valid alternatives. Lock what works, re-roll what doesn't.

The thesis: constraints produce taste, even when the choices are random — but only if the constraints come from the actual project, not a fixed list.

The pipeline

1. AUDIT     → scan what exists → mandatory findings (craft-only)
2. INTAKE    → infer from context/repo OR 3-question mini-interview
3. FIX       → resolve all findings (seed-independent, non-negotiable)
4. GENERATE  → fresh candidates for open dimensions (context-aware)
5. ROLL      → seeded pick between valid alternatives
6. LOCK      → keep what works, re-roll what doesn't, converge
7. GATE      → relaxed gate (readable + WCAG AA + self-contained + inert)

1. Audit (findings are mandatory fixes)

Scan rendered surfaces, source CSS, repo files, and content structure. Findings are non-negotiable — they get resolved before the dice touch anything, regardless of seed. The audit scope is craft-only:

• Contrast: body sends [color-system, web-typography, spacing-system, theming, responsive-layout, art-direction, micro-motion, component-states, data-viz, empty-states, form-ux, humanize-copy]
• Output: A seeded DESIGN-SYSTEM.md with resolved findings, rolled choices, and gate evidence
• Evidence: table_with_evidence with status, reason, remediation, evidence, provenance.
