## About

Refero helps AI agents research strong, real-world interface references before designing or implementing a product. It combines a research-first design skill with read-only MCP tools for searching curated visual styles, real product screens, and complete user flows. Agents can establish a visual direction, study concrete UI patterns, inspect relevant screens, and understand multi-step journeys while keeping the final design specific to the user's product.
