I've been tracking this and it's kind of wild.

Every time I ask an agent to change something on the frontend: "fix the padding on that card," "make the CTA button blue"; the actual edit takes maybe 200 tokens. But before that happens, the agent:

1. Greps the codebase for matching components

2. Reads 5-10 candidate files to build context

3. Asks me to confirm which one it should edit

4. Sometimes still picks the wrong one and has to backtrack

Been building Domscribe for the past few months. It's a build-time plugin that injects a stable ID into every JSX/Vue element, writes a manifest mapping each ID to its exact file, line, and column, and exposes it to coding agents via MCP.

The result: Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent can resolve any DOM element to its source location instantly no file searching, no guessing, no editing the wrong component.
