Why OpenDesign exists

The strongest coding agents already live on your laptop. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Qwen β€” all real, all yours, all BYOK. The missing piece isn't another agent runtime. It's the open-source surface area that turns those raw CLIs into a coworker that ships designs, joins your IM, runs skills, and remembers what happened yesterday.

That is what we build. Local-first, web-deployable, BYOK at every layer. Apache-2.0 / MIT, no telemetry, no lock-in.

Principles

  • Bring your own agent. We don't ship a model. The strongest agents already live on your laptop.
  • Open by default. Apache-2.0 / MIT across the stack. No locked surface, no telemetry.
  • Local-first. Your projects, conversations, and IM bridges run on your machine first, cloud second.
  • Skills are files, not plugins. Drop a folder, restart, it works. The SKILL.md convention, end of story.
  • Design Systems are portable Markdown, not theme JSON. The 9-section DESIGN.md schema.

Get involved

  • Star the projects that resonate β€” cheapest, loudest signal.
  • Add a skill β€” drop a SKILL.md folder and open a PR on open-design or html-anything.
  • Add a design system β€” drop a DESIGN.md folder and open a PR.
  • Add a video template β€” drop a template into html-video and open a PR.
  • Add a motion recipe β€” drop a recipe folder into motion-anything and open a PR.

Issues, PRs, and Discussions are open across every public repo.

OpenDesign β€” next to you, by your AI coworker.
