What is OpenDesign

OpenDesign is the 1st collaborative AI design agent workspace. Start with a brief, then use your coding agent or OpenDesign Cloud to create a prototype that follows your design system. Share it with your team for feedback, and let your agent refine it in the same project.

That workflow is open and extensible. OpenDesign is licensed under Apache 2.0 and gives teams skills, design templates, design systems, and plugins they can inspect and adapt to their own process.

Platform Compatibility

OpenDesign connects to mainstream coding agents in two ways: skills, CLI, and MCP for agents that consume OD, plus native runtime adapters for agents that OD launches directly. DeepSeek Harness is a first-class native runtime through the official dsh CLI, with structured streaming, model discovery, cancellation, and session resume.

For DeepSeek Harness, install the official dsh CLI first, then select it in OpenDesign or run od agent setup deepseek-harness to install/repair OD's connection component. For MCP integrations: od mcp install <agent> --print for a dry-run preview · --uninstall to remove · full list with od mcp install --help.

¹ Automatic MCP configuration for Claude Desktop is currently supported on macOS and Windows only.

The 26 coding-agent CLIs OpenDesign supports — DeepSeek Harness · Claude Code · Codex · OpenCode · Hermes · Antigravity · Vela · Grok Build · Kimi · Cursor Agent · Qwen · Qoder · GitHub Copilot · Pi · Kiro · Kilo · Mistral Vibe · DeepSeek · Reasonix · Aider · Amp · CodeBuddy · Mimo · AtomCode · Devin · Trae

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 presets for OpenAI, Atlas Cloud, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Atlas Cloud uses https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1 with your own key and OpenAI-compatible model ids such as qwen/qwen3.5-flash. Per-target SSRF protection blocks internal IPs / link-local / CGNAT at the daemon edge.

Runtime definitions live in apps/daemon/src/runtimes/defs/, with registration and shared stream handling under apps/daemon/src/runtimes/. See docs/agent-adapters.md for the adapter contract.


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.

Web prototype dating-web

Web prototype — an editorial dashboard with scrollbars, KPIs, and charts. Rendered straight from design-templates/dating-web/.

Gamified app

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.

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

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

Decision room — a multi-source briefing artifact for product / research / ops meetings.

Questions about open-design.

Which coding agents can use open-design?
open-design works in any agent that reads an MCP config file: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf. Each agent reads it from its own file; this page names the file for each one.
How do I add open-design to Claude Code?
Run these in order, one at a time. 1. In Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add nexu-io/open-design 2. In Claude Code: /plugin install open-design@open-design
