What is Open Design

🎨 The local-first, open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Native desktop app for macOS and Windows. ⚡ 100+ skills · ✨ 150 brand-grade DESIGN.md systems · 📦 261 ready-to-use plugins. 🖼️ Generates web · desktop · mobile prototypes, live dashboards / artifacts, decks, images, video, plus HyperFrames motion graphics. 🔒 Sandboxed iframe preview · HTML / PDF / PPTX / MP4 export. 🤖 Runs on Claude Code · OpenClaw · Codex · Cursor · OpenCode · Qwen · Copilot · Amp · Hermes · Kimi · Antigravity and 22 local CLIs, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via BYOK.

DESIGN.md

Open Design is what you get when the agent-native loop Anthropic shipped with Claude Design — discover the brief, lock the direction, stream the artifact, critique, deliver — stops being closed and becomes a filesystem of skills, design systems, and plugins that the coding agents already on your laptop can read, write, and remix. Your CLI becomes the design engine, your laptop becomes the studio, and your team's DESIGN.md becomes the brand contract.

DESIGN.md

It's also the Figma alternative for the agent era — instead of pushing pixels on a canvas, it delivers single-page artifacts in real CSS, real fonts, real components, exported straight to HTML / PDF / PPTX / MP4 — already shaped by your design system, already runnable inside the agent you use every day.

Product tour

A quick look at what Open Design is and what it does. Start from Home, orchestrate repeat workflows with Automation, distill a brand contract in Design System, and extend with Plugins and integrations; inside any project's Studio, the same design system streams out prototypes, live artifacts, HyperFrames, decks, and images.

Core pages

Home — the overview entry point. Pick a skill and a design system, type the brief, and kick off everything from one place.

Automation — orchestrate repetitive design workflows into reusable, schedulable automations. Design System — distill your team's DESIGN.md into a brand contract that shapes every output. Plugin — browse, install, and distribute workflow plugins to extend generation on demand. Integrations — connect external systems and MCP tools, and use Open Design from any IDE, script, or automation.

DESIGN.md

Studio — many artifact types in one project

Inside a project's Studio, the same design system streams out multiple artifact types:

Prototype — single-page HTML artifacts that read your design system and render in a sandboxed iframe, previewable instantly and downloadable as source. HyperFrame — programmatic motion and animated graphics, rendered to a real MP4 (e.g. 1920×1080 · 30fps). Deck — pitch decks you can page through, navigate by keyboard, and export to PPTX / PDF. Image — brand-grade images and visual assets, with high-resolution generation and download.

Platform Compatibility

Open Design ships as skills, a CLI, and an MCP server that mainstream coding agents consume natively. Once OD is installed, a single od mcp install wires the MCP server into that agent's config, and you call the same tools from inside any agent.

No CLI installed? The BYOK proxy at POST /api/proxy/{anthropic,openai,azure,google,ollama,senseaudio}/stream gives you the same loop (no process spawn) — paste baseUrl + apiKey + model, with support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Per-target SSRF protection blocks internal IPs / link-local / CGNAT at the daemon edge.

Demo

Four core product categories, all rendered by a coding agent running on your laptop. Click a thumbnail to see the real example.

1 · Prototypes — web · desktop · mobile

The default output surface. Single-page HTML artifacts that read your DESIGN.md and render in a sandboxed iframe.

DESIGN.md

Entry view — pick a skill, pick a design system, type the brief. One surface for prototypes, dashboards, decks, mobile apps, magazine pages. Mobile prototype — pixel-accurate iPhone 15 Pro chrome, multi-screen flows. The agent never redraws the phone frame; shared device frames live in assets/frames/. Web prototype — an editorial dashboard with scrollbars, KPIs, and charts. Rendered straight from design-templates/dating-web/. Mobile app prototype — a three-screen gamified flow with XP ribbons and quest detail. Hand off straight to Cursor / Codex / Claude Code to turn into React/Next/Vue.

assets/frames/

design-templates/dating-web/

2 · Live artifacts & dashboards

Live dashboards, decision rooms, KPI walls — single-page artifacts that pull data through a tweaks panel and stay editable in place.

Live dashboard — an editable KPI wall whose tweaks panel surfaces the parameters worth nudging. The agent emits a manifest, and the iframe re-renders without a reload. Decision room — a multi-source briefing artifact for product / research / ops meetings. GitHub-style dashboard — repo metrics presented as a live artifact. Flow live-dashboard template — a domain-specific KPI template, branded through the active DESIGN.md.

DESIGN.md

3 · Decks — magazine decks, weekly updates, pitches

Deck mode (guizang-ppt) — magazine layouts, WebGL hero, P0/P1/P2 checklists. Bundled verbatim from op7418/guizang-ppt-skill with its original license preserved. Swiss International-style deck — grid-anchored, monochrome accents. One of 15 deck templates and 36 themes under design-templates/html-ppt-*/.

op7418/guizang-ppt-skill

design-templates/html-ppt-*/

Every deck exports to HTML (single file, inlined assets), PDF (browser print, deck-aware), PPTX (agent-driven skill), ZIP (archive), or Markdown.

4 · Images — gpt-image-2, ImageRouter, custom API

93 ready-to-replicate prompts live in prompt-templates/ — preview thumbnails, full prompt body, target model, aspect ratio, and source attribution. One click drops a brief into the composer.

5 · Video & HyperFrames — agent-native motion graphics

HyperFrames is HeyGen's open-source, agent-native video framework, integrated as a first-class citizen in Open Design. The agent writes HTML + CSS + GSAP, and HyperFrames renders it to a deterministic MP4 via headless Chrome + FFmpeg. Pair it with Seedance 2.0 for cinematic t2v / i2v, Veo 3 / Sora 2 / Kling 2 for routed model variants, and Suno v5 / Lyria 2 for the audio layer.

Why Open Design

In April 2026, Anthropic released Claude Design — the first time an LLM stopped writing prose and started delivering design artifacts directly. It went viral. But it stayed closed-source, paid-only, cloud-only, locked to Anthropic's model, Anthropic's skills, Anthropic's surface. No checkout, no self-host, no Vercel deploy, no swap-in-your-own-agent.

In April 2026, Anthropic released Claude Design — the first time an LLM stopped writing prose and started delivering design artifacts directly. It went viral. But it stayed closed-source, paid-only, cloud-only, locked to Anthropic's model, Anthropic's skills, Anthropic's surface. No checkout, no self-host, no Vercel deploy, no swap-in-your-own-agent.

Open Design (OD) is the open-source alternative. Same loop, same artifact-first mental model, none of the lock-in:

🤖 Agent-native, model-agnostic. We don't ship an agent. The claude / codex / cursor-agent / copilot / hermes / kimi already on your PATH are the design engine. Swap with one click.

codex

cursor-agent

copilot

PATH

🧠 Brand-grade by default. Every render reads the active DESIGN.md — a 9-section schema covering palette, type, spacing, motion, voice, anti-patterns. 150 systems ship with the repo (Linear, Stripe, Vercel, Airbnb, Apple, Tesla, Notion, Anthropic, Cursor, Supabase, Figma…). Drop a folder in, the picker finds it.

DESIGN.md

🖥️ Local-first, BYOK at every layer. Native desktop apps for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows (x64). Linux AppImage on the optional release lane. SQLite at .od/app.sqlite, files at .od/projects//, no telemetry, no cloud round-trip.

.od/app.sqlite

.od/projects//

🌍 Composable on three planes. Plugins carry runnable workflows · skills carry the agent's design taste · design systems carry the brand. All three are plain files anyone can author, version, and publish.

🔁 Refresh an existing codebase. Hand a git repo + DESIGN.md to the agent and it refactors your real components to the brand spec. Dedicated plugins migrate Figma / Pencil workflows into React / Next.js / Vue code.

DESIGN.md

🔒 Privacy by conviction. Everything runs where your data lives — your laptop, your team's server, your Vercel project. When the network is needed, the BYOK proxy is SSRF-guarded.

Quick start

🖥️ Download the desktop app (recommended — zero config)

The fastest way to use Open Design. No Node, no pnpm, no clone.

macOS (Apple Silicon · Intel x64) → open-design.ai or GitHub Releases

Windows (x64) → open-design.ai or GitHub Releases

Linux (AppImage, optional lane) → GitHub Releases

After install: the app auto-detects every coding-agent CLI on your PATH, loads 100+ skills and 150 design systems, and lets you type a brief in the entry view.

PATH

🤖 Install into your coding agent (no UI)

You can use Open Design without ever opening the GUI — call it as a skill, plugin, or MCP server inside Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, OpenClaw, Antigravity, Hermes, Kimi, and more.

# One-line install into the agent you're using: curl -fsSL https://open-design.ai/install.sh | sh -s # = claude | codex | cursor | copilot | openclaw | antigravity | gemini # | pi | vibe | hermes | cline | kimi | trae | opencode

Then, inside the agent:

> Use open-design to generate a landing page with the Linear design system

> Use open-design to generate a landing page with the Linear design system

The agent reads skills/, picks the right SKILL.md, binds the DESIGN.md you named, and emits an previewable at http://localhost:7456.

QUICKSTART.md

A full workflow — from brief to artifact

brief → plugin → direction → design system → artifact → handoff → memory

brief → plugin → direction → design system → artifact → handoff → memory

A PM submits a brief. The plugin picker offers landing page · pitch deck · dashboard · social post · PM spec · OKR scorecard…

A designer (or the agent) locks the direction. No brand? Pick from 5 curated directions. Have a brand? Drop a screenshot / URL → the agent connects GitHub, imports Figma, and codifies a reusable DESIGN.md.

DESIGN.md

The agent emits the first . Plugin + skill + DESIGN.md are bound. It streams into a sandboxed iframe, editable in place — not "regenerate from scratch."

DESIGN.md

Hand off to engineering. The artifact is real HTML/CSS — drop it into Cursor, Codex, or Claude Code to keep building as code. Or export PPTX / PDF / MP4 straight to marketing.

Open Design gets smarter as you use it. Your screenshots, fonts, palettes, and confirmed artifacts accumulate as defaults for the next session. Less rework, less drift.

Use Open Design from your coding agent

Open Design ships a stdio MCP server and per-agent install scripts. Any MCP-compatible agent in another repo can read files from your local Open Design projects directly — tokens CSS, JSX components, entry HTML — as a structured API queryable by name. The agent always sees the live file, not a stale export.

# One-line install (16+ CLIs supported): curl -fsSL https://open-design.ai/install.sh | sh -s # Then the agent can: od search-files "primary button" # search files across projects od get-file design-systems/linear-app/DESIGN.md od get-artifact # latest rendered artifact od plugin run web-prototype --brief "..." od skill list --scenario marketing

Why MCP? Exporting and re-attaching a zip every iteration breaks flow. MCP exposes the design source directly — the agent always sees the live file.

For an agent starting from scratch, the installer places ~/.config//open-design.json (or the platform equivalent) plus a copy-paste MCP snippet. Cursor gets a one-click deeplink; Claude Code gets a claude mcp add-json one-liner; every other agent gets JSON in the schema its config expects. Full per-agent flow → Settings → MCP server in the desktop app, or docs/agent-adapters.md.

Security model. Read-only by default, the daemon binds to 127.0.0.1, and SSRF is blocked at the proxy edge. LAN exposure requires an explicit OD_BIND_HOST plus OD_ALLOWED_ORIGINS. Connector credentials and live-artifact preview routes stay loopback-only regardless.

Skills

100+ skills ship in the box — each is a folder under skills/ following the Claude Code SKILL.md convention, extended with an od: frontmatter (mode, platform, scenario, preview.type, design_system.requires, default_for, fidelity, example_prompt). Drop a folder in, restart the daemon, it appears in the picker.
