v0.3.0 - 2026-06-11

The 2026-06-11 clip-update round: ten new field-note sections drawn from the week's agentic-design bookmarks, placed across six chapters. All public artifacts rebuilt — self-contained HTML, paged HTML, PDF (320 pages), and EPUB.

New Content

Prompt-template discipline: role / output / constraints / stop (Chapter 03)
A reusable four-block prompt skeleton — role, output, constraints, stop — with five ready-to-run design templates (component spec, heuristic UX audit, task-flow/IA, token mapping, microcopy) and guidance for folding the skeleton into a skill you already run.

Visual prompting: point, draw, or talk on the live UI (Chapter 12)
Cursor's Design Mode as an evolution of the review-and-iterate loop: annotate the rendered UI and the agent maps the mark back to source code, not a throwaway DOM patch. Links the official Design Mode announcement (cursor.com/blog/design-mode).

Generating ideas directly in HTML instead of walls of text (Chapter 04)
HTML as a divergent-ideation surface — laying out the option space as a scannable page of variations rather than a prose list, with a worked prompt that forces breadth and layout.

html-video: a CapCut-style editing layer on Hyperframes (Chapter 09)
An open-source editing layer on the Hyperframes runtime (github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes) adding paginated preview, frame-level text editing, six auto-detected agent CLIs, and MiniMax-generated narration and music.

TypeUI: one markdown file per component (Chapter 03)
A design-skill platform whose transferable lesson is the storage format: one markdown file per concern, served to multiple agents through one MCP endpoint, because agents read prose more fluently than schema blobs.

Multica: agents as assignable teammates on a task board (Chapter 11)
A persistent-infrastructure orchestration model — agents as first-class task-board entries with squad routing, compounding skills, and cron autopilots — contrasted against the in-session orchestrator/subagent pattern.

Generative UI frameworks: when the agent renders the interface at runtime (Chapter 14)
A future-direction note on AG-UI / runtime generative UI, weighing the reviewability cost: runtime-only interfaces trade diffability and versioning for immediacy.

Self-healing /goal commands and the limits of autonomous plans (Chapter 11)
A community /goal upgrade that tries to detect when an autonomous run has gone off-plan and repair the plan, not just the code — flagged as a direction to watch and test.

Xiaohei illustration skill: a single-character explainer-graphic capability (Chapter 03)
A skill that turns text into hand-drawn explainer graphics narrated by one recurring character, making the point that a skill freezes a complete visual fingerprint into a reusable instruction. Includes a figure generated live in the Xiaohei style for this edition.

SkillVault: a marketplace for discovering and distributing agent skills (Chapter 03)
A cross-tool marketplace for skills, agents, hooks, and rules — framed as a discovery layer ahead of the install-and-review gate, not a substitute for reading a skill's source.
