Dev tweaker (design exploration)
SkillMediaAdd throwaway useTweak() controls to a www feature component so the user can flip design/layout options live in the dev-only tweaker panel and pick one, then bake the choice in and remove the scaffolding. Use only when they explicitly ask for tweaks or options on a specific feature during PR/feature-branch work.

www/src/dev/tweaker is a floating panel for exploring designs/layouts live: you add useTweak() calls to a feature component, the user flips the options in the panel and picks one. It runs in dev and on Vercel previews, and is dead-code-eliminated from production builds. Full API + workflow: www/src/dev/tweaker/README.md.
- When (strict): only during active PR/feature-branch work, and only when the user explicitly asks for tweaks/options on a specific feature. Never unprompted, never on
main, never as a way to add real config. - How: add
useTweak('Label', { type, default, group? })in the relevant www feature component and branch the JSX/styles on the returned value. Keep eachdefaultequal to the current look (nothing changes until a control moves); offer a small set (≤~5) of meaningful named variants per axis;grouprelated controls. Types:select,boolean,number,color,text. - Boundaries: never author
useTweakinwww/src/registry/— the product source stays clean (the panel reuses registry UI, but the calls live only in site/feature/module code). It's throwaway scaffolding, not a/createaxis: adding a real axis/variant/token is still a product decision (propose-and-approve — seeCLAUDE.md). - Cleanup: once the user picks (their "Copy for AI" output or a verbal choice), bake the values into the code and remove the
useTweakscaffolding before finalizing the PR — unless they want to keep iterating. Don't mergeuseTweakcalls into feature code.
