From the project
Custom PCB hardware controller integrated with a responsive LED strip, designed to provide real-time feedback for interactive piano instruction
This is a handoff bundle from Claude Design (claude.ai/design).
A user mocked up designs in HTML/CSS/JS using an AI design tool, then exported this bundle so a coding agent can implement the designs for real.
Read the chat transcripts first. There are 2 chat transcript(s) in chats/. The transcripts show the full back-and-forth between the user and the design assistant — they tell you what the user actually wants and where they landed after iterating. Don't skip them. The final HTML files are the output, but the chat is where the intent lives.
