What does OpenDesign do?

OpenDesign provides a local-first workspace where teams and coding agents turn briefs into designs and refine them through feedback. Projects can include prototypes, design systems, and media assets.

For DSH users, the documented connection is a native runtime adapter built around the official dsh CLI. OpenDesign also provides skills, CLI access, and MCP for agents that use its capabilities.

How to use OpenDesign

Start from a brief or an example on the Home page. Use a coding agent or OpenDesign Cloud to develop a prototype guided by your design system, then share the work with teammates and use their feedback for further revisions.

Use Studio to preview and refine the output. The Design Systems page exposes brand assets for review, while the Plugins page lets you discover skills and launch them with Try it.

DSH runs through the official dsh CLI integration. The supplied README excerpt does not specify a DSH installation command or the full runtime setup procedure.
