Design by Selection

Nate Parrott's Claude Design practice: when generating a candidate is nearly free, the designer's labor migrates to the two ends — deciding intent away from the keyboard, then hand-editing the last mile — while the middle becomes 'ask for ten options, then remix the two that work.' Left undirected the model collapses to a recognizable house aesthetic, so explicit aesthetic direction is the load-bearing input, and fidelity itself becomes a control knob (wireframe first when visuals would distract)
