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.

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 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.

| Coding agent / platform          | Status    | Quick setup                    | |---|:---:|---| | Claude Code | ✅ Supported | od mcp install claude | | Claude Desktop | ✅ Supported¹ | od mcp install claude-desktop | | Codex CLI | ✅ Supported | od mcp install codex | | DeepSeek Reasonix | ✅ Supported | od mcp install reasonix | | DeepSeek Harness | ✅ Native runtime | od agent setup deepseek-harness | | Raven | ✅ Supported | od mcp install raven | | Cursor | ✅ Supported | od mcp install cursor | | VS Code + GitHub Copilot | ✅ Supported | od mcp install copilot | | GitHub Copilot CLI | ✅ Supported | od mcp install copilot | | OpenCode | ✅ Supported | od mcp install opencode | | OpenClaw | ✅ Supported | od mcp install openclaw | | Antigravity | ✅ Supported | od mcp install antigravity | | Cline | ✅ Supported | od mcp install cline | | Trae | ✅ Supported | od mcp install trae | | Kimi CLI | ✅ Supported | od mcp install kimi | | Kiro | ✅ Supported | od mcp install kiro | | Pi Agent | ✅ Supported | od mcp install pi | | Mistral Vibe CLI | ✅ Supported | od mcp install vibe | | Hermes Agent | ✅ Supported | od mcp install hermes |

For DeepSeek Harness, install the official dsh CLI first, then select it in Open Design or run od agent setup deepseek-harness to install/repair OD's connection component. For MCP integrations: od mcp install --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.

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 handl
