Build a site from a markdown design spec

They fed a markdown design brief to Codex CLI, then guided a few quick revisions until their personal site felt right.

Done with Codexยท Intermediate

What they did
They saved a long frontend design prompt into a local markdown file and told Codex CLI to treat that file as the site spec. Codex produced an initial version, and they then steered it through a few rounds of edits. The same spec can be reused later with other design prompts.
How it went
Codex came close on the first pass, and the later tweaks moved quickly and stayed on track. They ended up with a personal site they liked, replacing a very simple earlier version. No performance numbers were given.
Tips
Keep your own judgment in the loop so the site matches your taste. Because the spec lives in markdown, you can swap in a different design brief for another project without rebuilding the whole setup.

Try it yourself with Codex

Read the design spec in [path/to/spec.md] and use it to create a [personal site/landing page] for [name/project] in this folder. Make a first version, then tell me how to preview it and stop for my approval before you make any major change, send anything, delete files, or submit anything. After I review it, revise the design based on my feedback and point out any spec rules that should be adjusted so I can reuse this file on another project.
