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.
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.
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.
![]() 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. |
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. |
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 <agent>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.
The adapter contract and stream parsers live in apps/daemon/src/agents.ts. Adding a new CLI is one entry — see docs/agent-adapters.md.
Four core product categories, all rendered by a coding agent running on your laptop. Click a thumbnail to see the real example.
The default output surface. Single-page HTML artifacts that read your DESIGN.md and render in a sandboxed iframe.
![]() 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. |
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.
|
![]() 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-*/.
|
Every deck exports to HTML (single file, inlined assets), PDF (browser print, deck-aware), PPTX (agent-driven skill), ZIP (archive), or Markdown.

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.
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.
11 HyperFrames templates + 39 Seedance prompts ship with the repo. Catalog thumbnails © HeyGen; the framework is Apache-2.0. The OD-specific render workflow (composition cache, sandbox-exec workaround, MP4-as-chip) is detailed in design-templates/hyperframes/.
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:
claude / codex / cursor-agent / copilot / hermes / kimi already on your PATH are the design engine. Swap with one click.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..od/app.sqlite, files at .od/projects/<id>/, no telemetry, no cloud round-trip.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.| Claude Design | Figma | Lovable / v0 / Bolt | Open Design | |

The fastest way to use Open Design. No Node, no pnpm, no clone.
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.
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 <agent>
# <agent> = 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
The agent reads skills/, picks the right SKILL.md, binds the DESIGN.md you named, and emits an <artifact> previewable at http://localhost:7456.
git clone https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design.git
cd open-design/deploy
cp .env.example .env
echo "OD_API_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)" >> .env
docker compose up -d
# open http://localhost:7456
macOS users: If the web UI shows
Authorization: Bearer <OD_API_TOKEN> required, Docker Desktop bridge networking is the cause. See Docker Desktop on macOS for the fix.
git clone https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design.git
cd open-design
corepack enable && pnpm install
pnpm tools-dev run web
Node ~24, pnpm 10.33.x. Windows users, see docs/windows-troubleshooting.md. Full quickstart, env vars, Nix flake, and packaged build flow → QUICKSTART.md.

DESIGN.md.<artifact>. Plugin + skill + DESIGN.md are bound. It streams into a sandboxed iframe, editable in place — not "regenerate from scratch."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 <agent>
# 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 <slug> # 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/<agent>/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.
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.
Two modes anchor the catalog: prototype (web/mobile/desktop single-page artifacts) and deck (horizontal-swipe presentations). Also image, video, audio, template, design-system, and utility modes. The scenario field groups them by audience: design · marketing · operation · engineering · product · finance · hr · sale · personal.
| Skill | Mode | Scenario | What it produces |
|---|---|---|---|
web-prototype | prototype | design | Default landing page / hero |
saas-landing | prototype | marketing | Hero / features / pricing / CTA |

261 official plugins live in plugins/_official/. Each plugin is a portable agent-skill folder — a SKILL.md (readable by any agent that supports Agent Skills), plus an optional open-design.json manifest that gives Open Design marketplace metadata, inputs, previews, pipelines, and capability declarations. Jump straight to a category:
| Category | Count | Contents |
|---|---|---|
scenarios/ | 11 | Complete design scenarios — od-default, od-design-refine, od-figma-migration, od-code-migration, od-react-export, od-nextjs-export, od-vue-export, od-media-generation, od-new-generation, od-tune-collab, od-plugin-authoring |

video-templates/ | 50 | HyperFrames / Seedance / Veo motion templates |
design-systems/ | 142 | Brand DESIGN.md wrapped as plugins |
atoms/ | 13 | Reusable UI fragments (buttons, heroes, KPI cards) |
examples/ | 140 | Remixable reference outputs |
Also plugins/community/ for community plugins and plugins/registry/ for the publishing flow.
od-figma-migration.git repo + DESIGN.md, get a PR. See od-code-migration.Plugins are at full parity across the web UI and the od CLI — same /api/plugins endpoints, pick whichever fits.
In the desktop / web app: open the Plugin page to browse the marketplace and click Install; inside a project's Studio, plugins appear as composer chips you click to apply (with the inputs they declare).
On the command line (runs without a UI — this is the path external agents use):
od plugin list # list installed plugins (--task-kind / --mode / --tag filters)
od plugin search "landing page" # search by keyword
od plugin info od-default # inspect a plugin's metadata, inputs, capabilities
od plugin install od-figma-migration # install from a registry; also accepts ./local-folder or an https://… link
od plugin apply od-default --input brief="a one-page pitch for our seed round"
od plugin upgrade od-default # upgrade
od plugin uninstall od-default # uninstall
Every command supports --json, so you can pipe it through jq / xargs into automation.
A plugin needs only a SKILL.md at minimum; to list it in the Open Design marketplace, add an open-design.json:
my-plugin/
├── SKILL.md ← required: YAML frontmatter (name · description) + trigger phrasing + workflow (aim for < 500 lines)
├── open-design.json ← needed to list: marketplace metadata + inputs + pipeline + capabilities
├── README.md ← optional: usage, install, registry links
├── preview/ ← optional: index.html / poster.png (strongly recommended for visual plugins)
└── examples/ ← optional: concrete use cases
Core open-design.json fields: specVersion (currently 1.0.0), name (stable ID), version (semver), compat.agentSkills[].path (points at ./SKILL.md), od.kind (skill / scenario / atom / bundle), od.taskKind (new-generation / figma-migration / code-migration / tune-collab), od.mode (the output surface, e.g. prototype / deck / live-artifact / image / video / hyperframes / audio / design-system / scenario), od.capabilities[] (declare the minimum — a restricted install grants only prompt:inject by default), od.inputs[] (apply-time parameters).
Scaffold + validate locally:
od plugin scaffold --id my-plugin --title "My Plugin" # generate the skeleton
od plugin validate ./my-plugin # check manifest / file layout

Real people behind every channel.
The good-first-issue and help-wanted labels are the easiest way in.
Open Design keeps moving because contributors — designers, engineers, prompt authors — keep showing up. Many of the most-used skills, design systems, and plugins were written by people outside the core team.
| Want to ship… | How | Where |
|---|---|---|
| A new skill | Drop a folder with SKILL.md + assets/ + references/ | skills/ · spec in docs/skills-protocol.md |
| A new design system | Drop a DESIGN.md using the 9-section schema | design-systems/<brand>/ |
| A new plugin | Drop open-design.json + manifest under a category folder | plugins/community/ · spec in plugins/spec/SPEC.md · agent dev guide in plugins/spec/AGENT-DEVELOPMENT.md |
