description	Beautify or redesign an existing website through iterative pingfusi review rounds with a real human reviewer. Use when asked to "beautify this website," "make this page look professional," "polish this UI/design," "improve the visual design," or finish an AI-built page when there is no reference site to match. Do not use for pixel-matching a known original; use fix-with-pingfusi for that.

Beautify a website with pingfusi

Turn an existing page into a professionally designed version, then keep iterating on element-pinned feedback until a human reviewer approves it. Treat the page's purpose, content, brand, and behavior as constraints; there is no ground-truth design to copy.

Non-negotiables

• Edit the project's own components and styles. Preserve product intent, working behavior, semantic structure, accessibility, and user-provided copy unless the user asked to change them.
• Freeze the exact pre-edit build before changing source. Keep its public draft record and same-viewport screenshot as the before proof; never let a mutable dev URL stand in for the baseline.
• Publish the current build before every round. A remote reviewer cannot inspect localhost, and an unverified/dead URL burns the round.
• File a custom single-page round with core.review.file; omit draft_url. Its reviewer surface is the current page only, with sticky comments and drawing. Do not run pingfusi review <name> file: that command is for clone fidelity and asks whether a draft is identical to an original.
• Never approve your own work or infer approval from prose. Finish only when a fresh core.review.verify(stateFile) returns ok === true on the declared verdict.

Workflow

1. Run pingfusi doctor. Locate the real source, build/test commands, responsive breakpoints, and any brand constraints. If review login is missing, stop and have the user run pingfusi setup; there is no offline review substitute.

2. Build the untouched page. Publish that static output through Pingfusi hosting and save the immutable receipt, then capture a screenshot at the viewport(s) the final proof will use:

   pingfusi publish <built-dir> --name <name>-before \
     --record .pingfusi/beautify/<name>/before.json --json
   

3. Improve the page in its own source. Work in this order: hierarchy and composition; typography; spacing and alignment rhythm; color, contrast, and surfaces; responsive behavior; states and finishing details. Prefer one coherent visual idea over a pile of effects. If motion materially helps, add one restrained, purposeful beat and honor prefers-reduced-motion.

4. Build and test at desktop and phone widths. Publish the current static output through Pingfusi hosting, using a new URL for every round:

   pingfusi publish <built-dir> --name <name>-current \
     --record .pingfusi/beautify/<name>/current.json --json
   

   Use a verified tunnel only if the production app genuinely requires a live server and cannot produce a self-contained build. Never tunnel merely because development happens through npm run dev.

5. File one custom round against the current public URL. Keep it within the service caps (20 steps; 300 characters per step; 40 per option). Use one result for the normal loop; use more only when the user explicitly wants higher-confidence review.

   const fs = require("node:fs");
   const path = require("node:path");
   const { execFileSync } = require("node:child_process");
   const kit = execFileSync("pingfusi", ["where"], { encoding: "utf8" }).trim();
   const core = require(path.join(kit, "packages/core"));
   const stateFile = path.resolve(".pingfusi/beautify/<name>/review.json");
   fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(stateFile), { recursive: true });
   const currentDraft = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(".pingfusi/beautify/<name>/current.json", "utf8"));
   const currentPublicUrl = currentDraft.url; // the just-published, verified record
   const verdicts = ["Professionally polished", "Needs another pass"];
   const { ping_id } = await core.review.file(stateFile, {
     url: currentPublicUrl,
     title: "Is this page professionally designed?",
     instructions: "Judge the current page on its own purpose. Add sticky comments or draw on exact current-page regions that still feel generic, messy, inconsistent, or hard to use.",
     steps: [
       { text: "First impression: does this feel intentionally and professionally designed?", options: ["Clearly polished", "Almost there", "Still rough"], check: null },
       { text: "Check hierarchy, typography, spacing, alignment, color, and contrast. Pin a sticky comment or draw on every current-page region that needs a specific change.", check: null },
       { text: "Check desktop and phone layouts, interaction states, and any motion. Note clipping, awkward wrapping, weak affordances, or distracting effects.", check: null },
       { text: "FINAL REQUIRED STEP — verdict. Pick one exactly.", options: verdicts, check: null },
     ],
     verdict_options: verdicts,
     approve_verdicts: [verdicts[0]],
     n_target: 1,
     // The single-page reviewer stores sticky comments and drawings directly;
     // it does not upload a reviewer screenshot.
     require_evidence: "none",
   });
   

6. The filing command automatically chains client-safe wait legs until feedback. If a raw MCP leg returns pending, immediately call pingfusi_wait again; never return pending to the user or file a duplicate. The user does not request this continuation. Passive result/verify reads do not renew the lease.

7. Fetch fresh with core.review.verify(stateFile). Read every structured comment and selector, fix each pin in the project's own source, rebuild, republish to a new immutable current URL, and file another round. Put a concise “changed since the last review” step near the start of each refile. Each refile owns its own wait.

8. After approval, rerun the project's tests and capture the after screenshot at exactly the before viewport(s). Keep raw round state and comments private; publish only a sanitized before/after visual and approval receipt.

Use pingfusi ask only for a consequential mid-build choice with 2–3 concrete options. It is advisory and never replaces the approving round.
