The visible brand design automation loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. RelayThat earns its keep through editor polish, assets, algorithms, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability

What you give up

  • color-management edge cases
  • cloud collaboration and mobile apps
  • pixel-perfect professional tooling
  • large template and asset libraries

Why people still pay

RelayThat: Creative users pay for speed, output fidelity, nondestructive editing, and years of edge-case work hidden behind direct manipulation.

The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.

Before you start

  • A supported Node release for development and a modern browser. Ship a static bundle that can work locally without an account.
  • Implementation components: Vite, React and TypeScript with SVG for diagrams or a Canvas rendering adapter for raster assets. IndexedDB for projects and revisions; versioned JSON documents with stable object IDs.
  • Scope boundary: color-management edge cases; cloud collaboration and mobile apps

Implementation plan

1

Phase 1

Scope and fixtures. Implement this bounded workflow: Place brand assets and reviewed copy into a constrained set of layouts, then generate size variants for selected channels. Flag overflow and let the user adjust crop/focal points before export. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: color-management edge cases; cloud collaboration and mobile apps

2

Phase 2

Durable model. Model brand tokens, approved logos, reusable layout constraints, campaign variants and export profiles Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: Automated resizing cannot hide text overflow or stretch logos; each variant references the exact approved asset and copy revision.

3

Phase 3

Complete the first useful path. Implement the workflow's input, review and output interface, with clear controls and explicit empty/error states. Represent edits as reversible commands, debounce autosave, and persist a complete project snapshot before destructive structural changes.

4

Phase 4

Permissions and integration failure. Sanitize imported SVG, reject external scripts and oversized assets, and require user selection before reading local files. Keep document contents out of telemetry. Request integration credentials and permissions only for the enabled feature; show a disconnected state instead of mock results.

5

Phase 5

Portable handoff. Export editable JSON with assets and an SVG or PNG rendering. Reopen the editable export to retain layers, relationships and IDs; image exports alone are not backups. Include setup, operating limits, fixture walkthrough and shutdown/restart instructions in the README.

6

Phase 6

Acceptance scenarios. Create square and landscape versions of one campaign and inspect both for overflow; changing a logo marks dependent exports stale. Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder.

WORKING SLICE
Place brand assets and reviewed copy into a constrained set of layouts, then generate size variants for selected channels. Flag overflow and let the user adjust crop/focal points before export.

Build this scoped RelayThat-inspired workflow with a documented data model and visible failure states.

Architecture
- Vite, React and TypeScript with SVG for diagrams or a Canvas rendering adapter for raster assets.
- IndexedDB for projects and revisions; versioned JSON documents with stable object IDs.

Prerequisites and limits
A supported Node release for development and a modern browser. Ship a static bundle that can work locally without an account.
Outside this release: color-management edge cases; cloud collaboration and mobile apps

Data model and correctness
brand tokens, approved logos, reusable layout constraints, campaign variants and export profiles
Invariant: Automated resizing cannot hide text overflow or stretch logos; each variant references the exact approved asset and copy revision.
Represent edits as reversible commands, debounce autosave, and persist a complete project snapshot before destructive structural changes.

Security and privacy
Sanitize imported SVG, reject external scripts and oversized assets, and require user selection before reading local files. Keep document contents out of telemetry.

Recovery and export
Export editable JSON with assets and an SVG or PNG rendering. Reopen the editable export to retain layers, relationships and IDs; image exports alone are not backups.

Implementation order
1. Phase 1 — Scope and fixtures. Implement this bounded workflow: Place brand assets and reviewed copy into a constrained set of layouts, then generate size variants for selected channels. Flag overflow and let the user adjust crop/focal points before export. Record prerequisites, select representative user-owned fixtures and document the unsupported features: color-management edge cases; cloud collaboration and mobile apps
2. Phase 2 — Durable model. Model brand tokens, approved logos, reusable layout constraints, campaign variants and export profiles Add migrations or a versioned document format, explicit validation, stable IDs and a visible import-error report. Preserve this rule: Automated resizing cannot hide text overflow or stretch logos; each variant references the exact approved asset and copy revision.
3. Phase 3 — Complete the first useful path. Implement the workflow's input, review and output interface, with clear controls and explicit empty/error states. Represent edits as reversible commands, debounce autosave, and persist a complete project snapshot before destructive structural changes.
4. Phase 4 — Permissions and integration failure. Sanitize imported SVG, reject external scripts and oversized assets, and require user selection before reading local files.

Repeat the workflow after restart and with a denied permission or unavailable dependency; show recoverable failure rather than a success placeholder.

Acceptance
Create square and landscape versions of one campaign and inspect both for overflow; changing a logo marks dependent exports stale.
Use real source data or clearly labeled fixtures. Explain unsupported input and provider failures; do not fabricate analytics, delivery receipts, accuracy claims or security guarantees.

Optional agent guidance
Optional external skill: [vercel-composition-patterns](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/composition-patterns/SKILL.md) — Design reusable React components with composition, context and explicit component variants. Review its instructions and compatibility before use; it does not grant deployment, data-access or publication permission.
Optional external skill: [web-design-guidelines](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/web-design-guidelines/SKILL.md) — Review web interfaces for accessibility, keyboard focus, forms, navigation and interaction quality. Review its instructions and compatibility before use; it does not grant deployment, data-access or publication permission.
Project rule — data model: brand tokens, approved logos, reusable layout constraints, campaign variants and export profiles
Project rule — preserve this invariant: Automated resizing cannot hide text overflow or stretch logos; each variant references the exact approved asset and copy revision.
Project rule — acceptance evidence: Create square and landscape versions of one campaign and inspect both for overflow; changing a logo marks dependent exports stale.

Questions about RelayThat

Can you build your own RelayThat with AI?

Partly. The visible brand design automation loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. RelayThat earns its keep through editor polish, assets, algorithms, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

What does the RelayThat build prompt cover?

The prompt starts with this scope: Place brand assets and reviewed copy into a constrained set of layouts, then generate size variants for selected channels. Flag overflow and let the user adjust crop/focal points before export. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: color-management edge cases; cloud collaboration and mobile apps; pixel-perfect professional tooling. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.

How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?

Start with the RelayThat prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.

How long will this RelayThat project take?

The catalogue estimate is multi-day for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.

What would I give up by replacing RelayThat?

color-management edge cases; cloud collaboration and mobile apps; pixel-perfect professional tooling; large template and asset libraries. RelayThat: Creative users pay for speed, output fidelity, nondestructive editing, and years of edge-case work hidden behind direct manipulation.

What can I use instead of building RelayThat?

Desygner Free: The rare free plan that actually includes brand assets, automatic resizing, and scheduling; less automatic than RelayThat, but not a bait tier. Check each option's license, hosting needs and feature limits.
