BUREAU — every page gets a proof
**Job: BUREAU**v7.10.0, MIT Line guide of 2026-10-27 Agent skill for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Hermes
Brief to launch,ten gates that can say no.
**BUREAU gives a coding model the workflow of a design bureau:** concept, art direction, type, motion, accessibility, and a review circuit. Every page rides the same line, and the Tribunal can send it back.
The review circuit as a line diagram: ten gates in order, then a Tribunal that passes the page to launch or sends it back for changes.

Proof
The detector marks a generic generated page in red pencil, with the same rules the command line runs. Flip to the reviewed version, or proof this page.

18 marks, 3 of them P0: the specimen fails. Listed from the detector's output at build time.
The specimen is a deliberately generic page written for this proof, not anyone's site. The marks are the detector's real findings on its source, drawn at the elements they name; the 21 project checks run in the command line, not here.
Argument
A model draws the average. An editor marks it.
Asked for a page with no direction, a model returns the centre of everything it has seen. That is not a prompt problem; it is a missing idea, a missing point of view and a missing review.
**Concept before pixels.**Three directions that truly differ, each a blend of three designers on three axes, built from a survey of five verified references. No code before an idea, an emotional target and a world.
**Craft with limits you can check.**Type, colour, composition and motion each have a reference and a budget; scripts measure what can be measured, from contrast and overflow to fingerprint divergence.
**A review that can refuse.**Ten gates in order, evidence on every line, a ten-minute jury and a Tribunal in a fresh context. Invented proof, fake sends and hidden content fail whatever the score.
Circuit
Ten gates. One Tribunal.
Each gate scores 0 to 5 against its weight; any gate under 3.5, any P0 or any missing evidence fails the release. Changing a source file makes every later gate stale.

**Judge before you measure.**The design review is written before anyone reads the detector's output.
**The builder is the weakest reviewer.**The Tribunal reads the work in a fresh context, or the run is declared degraded and cannot reach Award Track.
**Ten minutes for the jury.**Ten to fifteen independent reviewers vote on every gate and every Law of UX; the best round inside the time box stands.
Commands
Call it by what you need.
Type `/bureau` and a command, or ask in plain language; the router picks the command and loads only the references it needs.
| Command | What it does | Leaves on disk | | --- | --- | --- | | /bureau init | Writes the brief: audience, offer, sourced proof, non-goals. | `BUREAU.md`, `config.json` | | /bureau concept | Five-source survey, three directions, a blend for each, three comps. | `survey.json`, `decision.md` | | /bureau direction | Normative tokens, type specimen, colour in context. | `DESIGN.md` | | /bureau build | The real page, then seven refinement passes. | `refinement.md` | | /bureau motion | Five awarded motion references, then the grammar. | `MOTION.md` | | /bureau qa | Screenshots, contrast, overflow, fold and performance at five widths. | `.bureau/qa/` | | /bureau slop | The detector you are watching, with fixes. | `audit.json` | | /bureau review | Ten gates, Delivery Gate, jury, Tribunal. | `scorecard.html` | | /bureau figma | Variables and frames to code, or an honest fallback. | `tokens` | | /bureau ship | Copy and claims check, metadata, launch list. | `launch-checklist.md` | | /bureau auto | All of it, stopping at three human checkpoints. | everything above |
ShowCase
Four studios that do not exist.
Each was built with the skill from a blend of three designers and given a phone composition of its own. Open the ShowCase ↗
Install
One folder, four hosts.
Preview with a dry run, restart the agent, then call `/bureau`. Node 20 or later; Playwright and Figma are optional and degrade honestly.
The installer copies the skill folder into the host's skills directory and marks it, so uninstalling removes only what it placed.
Windows: `installers/install.ps1`. Installation guide.
``` git clone https://github.com/acf1210/bureau.git cd bureau bash installers/install.sh --agent claude --scope user ```
``` git clone https://github.com/acf1210/bureau.git cd bureau bash installers/install.sh --agent codex --scope user ```
``` git clone https://github.com/acf1210/bureau.git cd bureau bash installers/install.sh --agent antigravity --scope user ```
``` git clone https://github.com/acf1210/bureau.git cd bureau bash installers/install.sh --agent hermes --scope user ```
Every host at once: `bash installers/install.sh --agent all --scope user --dry-run`
