🎨 The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes, landing pages, dashboards, slides, images & video — real files, HTML/PDF/PPTX/MP4 export. 🤖 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / DeepSeek Harness / OpenCode / Hermes & 20+ CLIs via BYOK.
Install Open Design
Not a bundle: drop the SKILL.md directory into one of the skill roots DSH scans. No `dsh plugin add`, no build step.
This is a skill, not a bundle. Skills are not installed with dsh plugin add — a skill is a directory containing SKILL.md that DSH discovers by scanning its skill roots. Clone it into one of those roots and it is available on the next session.
Clone into your user skill root ($DSH_HOME/skills)
mkdir -p ~/.dsh/skills
git clone https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design.git ~/.dsh/skills/open-design| Rank | Root | Path |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | project-dsh | <project>/.dsh/skills |
| 200 | project-agents | <project>/.agents/skills |
| 300 | custom | customSkillDirs in your config |
| 400 | user-dsh | $DSH_HOME/skills (default ~/.dsh/skills) |
| 500 | user-agents | $DSH_AGENTS_HOME/skills (default ~/.agents/skills) |
Lower rank wins when two roots hold a skill with the same name. Put it in a project root instead of the user root when it should only apply to one repository.
Before you run itinstall scripts
- This package declares
postinstall— package-manager lifecycle scripts that execute on your machine at install time, outside the agent sandbox, before any tool-approval prompt exists. - A plugin runs with your permissions once loaded: it can read your files, use your credentials and reach the network. Tool approvals do not sandbox it.
Prerequisites
- API key
- Not required.
- Network access
- Required at runtime.
- Language
- TypeScript
