同一条流水线——Claude Design 出方向、HANDOFF.md 锁死、`big-task` 落地——但每个产品都把它掰成不一样的形状。ÉLAN 是空地，需要宽探索。识川 app 已经上线，要按类目一个个迁移。盘盘猫是 monorepo，v2 跑三个并行品牌表达而不是一个方向。变的是什么，不变的是什么。

Solo dev 做设计，大多数时候 N=1——第一直觉就是唯一方案，因为做第二个版本要花一天。Claude Design 把这事拆了：一下午六个完全不同的视觉语言摆在面前。留下了什么、丢了什么、方向锁死之后 big-task 的 ui profile 接手怎么走——这篇讲这些。

Same pipeline — Claude Design explores, HANDOFF.md locks, `big-task` ships — but it bends around each product. ÉLAN is greenfield and needs wide exploration before converging. Shichuan has a live app and needs incremental category-by-category migration. Panpanmao is a monorepo with a v2 redesign that runs three parallel brand expressions instead of one. What changes and what doesn't.

For solo dev and small teams, design exploration is usually N=1 — you go with your first instinct because producing a second variant takes a day. Claude Design collapses that: six distinct aesthetic directions in an afternoon. What I kept from the pipeline, what I dropped, and how `big-task`'s UI profile takes over once a direction is locked.

Adding 37 travel landmark cards to ÉLAN in a single session revealed that the real problem isn't content creation — it's discovery. Region-first tabs don't work when users think in vibes, not geography. Here's how we rebuilt the browse experience around a two-axis vibe + region filter, and what it took to orchestrate 37 card definitions, 37 covers, and 444 sample images with parallel AI agents.

一天内给 ÉLAN 加了 37 张旅行地标灵感卡，发现真正的问题不是内容创建——是发现。用户想的是氛围，不是地理位置。把浏览体验重建在 vibe + 地区双轴筛选上，用并行 AI agent 编排了 37 个卡定义、37 张封面、444 张样本图。

I sent 5 research agents out simultaneously to study Xiaohongshu photo trends, pose libraries, caption formulas, luxury aesthetics, and competitor UX. 42 data points came back. From that research, I designed a catalog of Muse Cards — curated photoshoot packages that encode everything from scene and pose to color grading and caption. Here's the full design process, one card dissected to its atoms, and honest notes on what works and what doesn't.

Miaoya Camera hit 600K DAU and lost 94% within a year. Most AI photo apps sell novelty — but novelty decays. I wanted to try something different with ÉLAN: curated 'Muse Cards' that encode a complete visual formula for effortless luxury, so users get photos and social captions in 3 taps. Here's what I've learned so far.

一个晚上同时跑了 5 个调研 agent，分头研究小红书拍照趋势、经典 pose、文案公式、奢侈品美学、竞品 UX，合出来一份 42 个数据点的调研报告。灵感卡目录就是从这些调研里设计出来的：场景、pose、调色、文案全部打包好的套餐系统。这篇拆开一张卡讲到原子级别，也讲哪些设计有效、哪些踩了坑。

我这几个月在捣鼓 ÉLAN，一个 AI 写真加配文的平台。动手之前先看了看妙鸦相机这批产品是怎么衰减的，然后想试一条不太一样的路：用「灵感卡」把完整的视觉公式打包好，3 步出片带配文。这是目前的思考和实验记录。

No avatar. No chat bubbles from a fictional character. Just a pulsing light orb that breathes, bounces, and dims with emotion. How Mio v2's visual identity sidesteps the uncanny valley and lets personality emerge through conversation.
