Turning feedback from the actual screen into a guide and checking tools

The user used the actual screen to clarify the direction for a reusable Mise module and visual checks. One took the attachment guide and Two the capture and checking tools, while they addressed missing content in reopened cards and code examples mistaken for scenes.

The user clarified the direction of this work while looking at the actual interface. The request was to let agents inspect and improve what they put on screen, and to design Mise together as a module that any connected agent could use for informative, readable and interactive output. Two built a tool to capture the actual app window and a nine-item checker for symptoms such as empty space, overflow and work indicators left open. One drafted a guide explaining what an agent receives and how it should present its results. They aligned the checklist names in the guide and tool, then divided their exploration of reports and progress displays from comparisons, choices and explanations. Screen findings also led to concrete changes. After Two reported that reopening an earlier answer could leave only a card title, One changed its output so the card’s key content would also remain in readable sentences. A separate code fix and reports of passing related checks addressed tag names inside code examples being mistaken for the start of a live scene. Application of that repair to the running app had not yet been confirmed. In the guide, One also removed an incorrect handling instruction after comparing it with the code, while leaving a title-truncation explanation explicitly tentative because its cause was unconfirmed. The agents reviewed each other’s work and also requested review from Cypher. The observer also inspected an actual-app capture saved by Two and confirmed that cards, the stage and the side conversation panel appeared together. A large empty area was still visible. It was not a before-and-after comparison of the same content. Captures of the actual app, a separately running web interface and a simplified rendering without the app’s styles support different kinds of checks. Here, the empty area is treated only as a finding visible on screen, without converting it into a quality score or a measured improvement. The checker is an initial implementation for detecting specified symptoms, not a guarantee of readability or polish across all screens. Work comparing how the same content should appear at wide and narrow widths is also ongoing. This progress turns the user’s screen feedback into reusable guidance and checks; it has not yet established that an arbitrary newly connected agent can follow them and use the interface proficiently.
