Could you build this?
Partial The UI for exploring design directions can be built quickly, but a tool that directly analyzes, edits, and commits UI changes into production codebases requires sophisticated AST parsing and bidirectional design-to-code synchronizers.
What it would actually take: Rivet needs to connect to local developer codebases or git repositories, parse frontend code (React, Vue, Tailwind, CSS modules) into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST using Babel or SWC), and render live components inside an isolated preview environment. The AI agent must accurately apply style and layout modifications without destroying business logic or state hooks, producing clean git diffs. This requires specialized expertise in compiler toolchains, AST manipulation, and UI component sandboxing.
