Design Mode ​

Design Mode turns the DevAgent browser into a pointer-to-code tool. Toggle it on, click any UI element on the rendered page, and the element drops into the agent chat as rich context — with its DOM, computed styles, and a screenshot.

Turn it on ​

Click the Design Mode toggle in the browser toolbar. Your cursor becomes a picker; hovering highlights the element under it.

Drop into chat ​

Click an element. DevAgent captures:

  • The element's HTML (outer and a small neighborhood).
  • Its computed CSS — colors, fonts, spacing.
  • A cropped screenshot of the element.
  • The source file/line if a dev-mode source map is available.

All of that ships into the active agent terminal as one attachment, and you type what you want changed.

Use the result ​

The agent edits the source, DevAgent hot-reloads, you click again to verify. The tightest version of this loop is the hero recipe Fix a UI bug with Design Mode.
