The design engine now lives on your laptop.

Open Design turns the coding agent already on your PATH into a brand-grade studio — prototypes, decks, live artifacts and motion, all shaped by a DESIGN.md brand contract. No cloud round-trip. No lock-in.

Wired into your agent

One install. The tools you already run become the design engine.

The daemon scans your PATH for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and 17 more — then exposes your projects to them over MCP. The agent always sees the live file, never a stale export.

One project · many surfaces

The same design system streams out every artifact type.

Prototype

Single-page web · desktop · mobile artifacts that read your DESIGN.md and render in a sandboxed iframe.

HTML · downloadable source

Live artifact

Editable KPI walls and decision rooms with a tweaks panel — re-render in place, no reload.

manifest-driven

Deck

Magazine and Swiss-grid presentations you page through by keyboard and export to PPTX / PDF.

15 templates · 36 themes

Image

Brand-grade visual assets at high resolution from 93 ready-to-replicate prompt templates.

gpt-image-2 · BYOK

HyperFrame

Agent-written HTML + GSAP rendered to a deterministic MP4 — headless Chrome + FFmpeg.

1920×1080 · 30fps

Refresh a repo

Hand the agent a git repo + DESIGN.md and it refactors your real components to the brand spec.

Meta: this page wasn't themed by hand. It was rendered straight from the bundled design-systems/linear-app/DESIGN.md — a 9-section brand contract covering palette, type, spacing, motion and anti-patterns. Swap the system, the next render re-skins itself. That's the whole idea.
