Problem
The solution already exists, but it's not in the form we need it, or not where we need it.
Pattern
AI can quickly grab and transform from other sources:
- Styles from designs (colors, spacing, icons)
- Patterns from other implementations
- Code concepts across languages
Give AI an example and it adapts it to your context. Show a JavaScript nullable pattern, get the Python version. Point to a Figma design, get matching CSS. Reference another implementation, get your version.
Example
Design to Code: Designer created Figma mockup to improve design of existing app → Use AI to apply it to your app
Cross-language: Show JavaScript nullables → AI creates Python equivalent with proper idioms
Parallel Borrowing: Created 10 implementations → Pick best parts from each → AI combines them. Really powerful
