Personal site redesign with Codex
Codex CLI redesigned the author's personal site after reading a design prompt copied from Anthropic's frontend-design plugin into a local markdown file.
The author shipped a redesigned personal site, nearly right in one shot, after a few more iterations.
Overview
How it was set up
Codex CLI, with the long-form frontend-design prompt from Anthropic's Claude Code plugin saved as a markdown file in the project and read first.
Worth knowing
A few rounds of iteration were still needed, and the author's own taste guided the direction.
A prompt to start from
Read [design-spec.md] and treat it as the design specification for my [personal site]. Then build the UI for [page or section], following its guidance on typography, spacing, and hierarchy.
