## AI overview

Desk Studio runs visual design work through a staged process so revisions stay tied to a chosen direction: three roughs, a recorded pick, builder polish, pixel checks in Chrome, and Creative Director sign-off. Its script checks rendered output without a model; model reviewers score eight axes, with every axis needing at least 8 and an average of 8.5 to pass. A real launch-card job scored 8.4, 8.5, then 8.9 and cost $1.34 at list price. The 42 desks are repo-based briefs managed locally, with model calls through the user's CLI login or API key; the excerpt says other activity stays on the machine apart from model calls and research lookups. The author notes that scores compare rounds within a job, not external benchmarks; the standalone runner currently supports social-card design, and some commands remain Claude Code specific.

## Source excerpt

Desk Studio runs a design job like a studio inside your coding agent: roughs, a pick, polish, pixel proof, sign-off. One real job, 8.9, $1.34.
