AetherPane's an open-source CLI tool that scores AI-generated frontend HTML on design quality—hierarchy, spacing, depth, typography—to guide targeted fixes.

How do I use AetherPane with Cursor or Claude?

Generate your UI page.html, then run `node .../cli.cjs critique page.html`. Get scores and reports instantly.

Does AetherPane replace human designers?

Nope—it structures your review, like spellcheck for text. Humans still own the vision; this just makes iteration faster.
