Most software is designed twice: a picture first, then again in code. Intent drifts in between Mode is the AI design canvas for working on the real thing. Connect your codebase, open an existing screen, and design with your components, tokens, live data, states, and breakpoints. Explore with AI. Keep details that matter. When ready, publish your changes live or send them to engineering for review. You decide when they go live. The canvas is not the destination. The product is.
