Learnings and changelog for Visual Conventions. Agents read the Learnings section before producing visual output and append to it in-session; the Changelog is for reflection. Shape and rules: 0020-conventions-and-learnings-two-type-capture.
Learnings
- 2026-09-19 · correction · “muted” was applied as lower value (dark green, near-black) when low chroma at the same lightness was meant · 2026-09-19 Quant Wallpaper Session and Design Vocabulary
- 2026-09-19 · rejection · large sweeping curves that overlapped, and separately a near-empty canvas, both offered for “not busy”; the target was a dense small-scale repeat · 2026-09-19 Quant Wallpaper Session and Design Vocabulary
- 2026-09-19 · rejection · cool palettes (pure black, navy) and a multi-color saturated palette (teal, orange, gold) · 2026-09-19 Quant Wallpaper Session and Design Vocabulary
- 2026-09-19 · confirmation · iterating by reference image (“layout of 4, palette of 13”) landed every time; iterating by adjective failed every time · 2026-09-19 Quant Wallpaper Session and Design Vocabulary
- 2026-09-19 · correction · the generator’s description of its own final image did not match the pixels: named slate blue and terracotta where it was sepia plus near-neutral gray at about 15:1, named binomial lattices that were three-node triangles, named bell curves that weren’t there · 2026-09-19 Quant Wallpaper Session and Design Vocabulary
Changelog
- 2026-09-19 · added · Visual Conventions created with three rules, four defaults, and a process section · seeded from 2026-09-19 Quant Wallpaper Session and Design Vocabulary per 0020-conventions-and-learnings-two-type-capture; Writing Conventions is the reference implementation
- 2026-09-19 · added · rule 1, theme both color schemes · the same dark-mode fix for HTML artifacts had been re-explained across four or more chats, cited as motivation in 0020-conventions-and-learnings-two-type-capture
