Core loop

Creative-engineering protocol

The Understand→Ship loop agents follow for brand-bound creative work with visual proof gates.

1 min readUpdated

Pax replaces vague "make it beautiful" prompts with a versioned protocol every supported agent adapter implements from the same canonical source.

Loop

Understand → Direct → Design → Build → Render → Critique → Repair → Ship
StageYou prove
UnderstandBrand scan and repository context
DirectCreative thesis, composition, typography, motion rationale
DesignRegistry selections bound to tokens
BuildImplementation with reduced-motion paths
RenderCaptures at mobile, tablet, desktop

RepairTargeted fixes mapped to finding ids (max 3 passes)
ShipHandoff with rationale and reproduction commands

Install

paxfx protocol info
paxfx protocol install
paxfx protocol parity

Generated adapters live in the Pax repository under packages/adapters/generated/. Parity checks ensure they cannot drift from docs/protocol/creative-engineering.v1.json without failing CI.

Checkpoints

Resume from .pax/protocol/run.json after any completed stage. Do not replay the full chat.

Skill

Use pax-protocol as the orchestrator; medium skills (pax-brand, pax-blocks, pax-qa, etc.) cover stage tooling.
