Guardrails forAI-generatedUI

AI can generate UI. It cannot keep it aligned. That sentence is the whole reason this lab exists.

Tools have made generation close to free. The expensive problem is keeping that UI in agreement with the system it belongs to, over time, while both sides keep changing.

A design system needs a machine-readable contract: a queryable description an agent can consult for the one decision in front of it, instead of being handed thousands of lines it cannot prioritize.

A queryable contract beats a documentation dump.

The lab is an ecosystem of six open-source repositories built around a single design-system contract. A governance pipeline enforces it at the moment an agent generates UI; a reconciliation engine keeps every surface — Figma, code, and docs — aligned with it over time.

dspack-studio is the reference application. An agent proposes an interface, the design system checks it, and invalid patterns are explained and repaired with the rule and its rationale on the record: dspack-gen governs the generation, dspack-emit compiles it to A2UI, AG-UI carries it, and Astryx renders it.

Every recording is a real run with its provenance attached. Rewind it, fork it, x-ray any element, and read the run’s receipt. Nothing there is staged.
