Point-and-click element selection
Open the inspector with ⌃⇧1, hover over the live page, and click the element you want to work on. The site says this can include buttons, cards, sections, and individual lines of type.
Skisso
Skisso is a browser-based tool for selecting and editing elements on live web pages, then copying a structured patch for a coding agent to implement. It is aimed at interface designers and developers refining agent-built pages, including localhost prototypes.
Overview
Skisso is a browser-based interface editing and patch-generation tool for people working with coding agents. It lets you select an element on a live page, adjust the rendered result directly, and copy a structured description of the change for the agent to implement.
The copied patch includes an address for the target element, the properties changed, and the old and new values. The site positions this workflow as a way to replace lengthy visual explanations with a concrete handoff, and says the inspector can be opened on any page, including localhost.
Features
Live interface editing
Modify spacing, color, typography, layout, and the copy itself directly on the rendered page instead of describing the intended result in prose.
Exact patch generation
Turn the changes into a clipboard-ready diff with an element address, each changed property, and its previous and new value.
Optional screenshot context
The patch can include an optional screenshot alongside the structured change information, giving the coding agent additional visual context.
Browser-to-agent handoff
The workflow is designed to connect a browser-based interface with a coding agent working in the terminal, including pages served from localhost.
Use cases
Refining a localhost prototype
Select a card, button, heading, or section in a running local build, adjust its appearance until it matches the intended result, and give the resulting patch to the agent.
Communicating precise UI tweaks
Make small visual corrections—such as changing spacing, colors, type, or layout—without spending time identifying the target in a written prompt.
Reviewing agent-built interfaces
Use the before-and-after values and target address as a concrete handoff when an agent is implementing a change from a browser-based review.
Sending visual context with a patch
Include the optional screenshot when the structured patch benefits from additional visual context about the edited state.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Directly targets elements in the rendered interface rather than relying only on written descriptions.
- Shows changes as a before-and-after patch with an element address and property values.
- Supports editing common interface details such as spacing, color, type, layout, and copy.
- Can be used on localhost pages and includes an optional screenshot in the handoff.
Cons
- The available source does not document specific coding-agent integrations, browser or operating-system support, pricing, or team features.
- The tool is presented around CSS and live-page changes; the source does not establish broader editing or production deployment capabilities.
FAQ
How do you open Skisso?
Skisso is presented as a browser-based tool that opens with the keyboard shortcut ⌃⇧1 on any page, including localhost.
How do you select an interface element?
Hover over an element and click it to select it. The page describes selecting buttons, cards, sections, and individual lines of type.
What kinds of changes can you make?
You can adjust spacing, color, typography, layout, and copy directly on the live page. The changes are described as CSS changes made against the rendered interface.
What does Skisso copy to the clipboard?
Press Enter to copy a patch containing the selected element address, changed properties, old and new values, and an optional screenshot. That patch can then be handed to a coding agent.
Which coding agents and platforms are supported?
The site explicitly mentions coding agents working in a terminal and says Skisso can open on localhost. It does not identify specific agents, integrations, operating systems, or browser requirements.

ByteAsk
ByteAsk is a terminal-first AI coding agent for C and C++ that edits repositories and verifies changes with the real compiler, debugger, sanitizers, and tests before showing a diff. It offers a free tier plus paid plans, with editor connectors and zero-retention handling described in the source.
Epherem
Epherem is a static security scanner for web apps built with AI coding tools such as Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, and Claude Code. It checks source files and dependencies for common security mistakes, then provides categorized findings and suggested fixes without running the app.
CreateOS Sandbox
CreateOS Sandbox is an isolated compute environment for running code and agent workloads inside Firecracker micro-VMs. It is designed for workflows that need machine-level isolation, private networking between sandboxes, and programmatic control through SDK, CLI, or MCP.
GitBot
GitBot is a local browser-based workspace for creating reusable coding bots powered by Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode. It helps developers run those agents across repository folders with persistent threads and configurable permissions.
hob
hob is an independent workspace for coding agents that keeps agent sessions, terminals, history, and follow-up work organized around the tools and providers you already use. It is aimed at developers who want local control over routing, history, and workspace structure rather than a bundled model stack.
Ably Chat
Ably Chat is a chat API platform for building custom realtime chat applications. It supports room-based messaging, typing indicators, presence, reactions, and message updates, with usage-based pricing options for different deployment stages.
