Introducing Stagewise: AI Dev Agents for Visual UI Editing with Prompts
Stagewise redefines frontend development by embedding intelligent, stage-aware AI agents directly into your dev workflow—transforming how you iterate on UIs. Instead of switching between browser, editor, and chat interface, Stagewise bridges them in real time: it captures live DOM structure, visual context (including annotated screenshots), component hierarchy, and runtime metadata, then delivers this rich, actionable context to your chosen AI coding assistant. The result? Natural-language UI edits—“Make this button larger and match the brand purple”—that translate accurately into framework-native code. Built for modern stacks, it works natively with React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Next.js, and Nuxt—no wrappers, no abstractions, just precise, contextual AI assistance where you build.
Getting Started with Stagewise
Launch Stagewise in under a minute: install the official extension from VS Code or Cursor Marketplace, then inject the lightweight dev toolbar into your application using either an AI-guided command (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+P → “Stagewise: Setup Toolbar”) or a one-line script snippet. Once active in dev mode, the floating toolbar appears on hover—click any element to open a prompt interface preloaded with its full context. No configuration required to begin; advanced customization (like custom prompt templates or framework-specific rules) is available via stagewise.config.ts.
