AI-Generated Design Pattern Detection Tool Released

By analyzing 3.2 million posts and 3,033 comments collected from 47 AI and SaaS subreddits on Reddit, the tool defines, based on data, the design patterns that make users feel a site was 'made by AI.'

Key Detected Patterns:

• shadcn/Tailwind default styling
• Purple and Indigo-centric color schemes
• Purple-to-blue gradients and gradient heading text
• Excessive Neon glow effects
• Emojis used as icons
• Inter/Geist default fonts
• Centered hero sections and 3-feature-card layouts

Key Features:

• Build Mode: Guides Claude to avoid the default patterns above when writing UI.
• Audit Mode: Scans an existing codebase to find design patterns, providing file names, line numbers, fixes, and a 'Vibe Score' for the project.
• CI/CD Integration: Supports a --json option and exit codes, allowing build pipelines to be configured to fail the build when AI design patterns are detected.
