What it does

Make a design system from a website, measure its real colours, fonts, spacing and button states in a browser, write DESIGN.md and tokens.css that agree, and check the result side by side with the site before saving, use whenever the user wants a design system, brand kit, theme or tokens taken from a website or URL ("make a design system from stripe.com", "match our site's look", "extract the brand from this page"), even if they don't mention Open Design

<!-- generated:open-design-agent-kit -->

Make an Open Design design system from a website: measure the rendered site, write DESIGN.md and tokens.css from one set of measurements, and check the result against the site before saving it.

Request: the rest of the user's message (if there is none, ask the user: "Which website should the design system come from?")

How to talk to the user. Many people using Open Design don't write code, so:

  • Use the user's own words. If they say "artifact", "design tokens" or give a file path, use those terms back; otherwise use the plain words below.
  • Keep the machinery out of replies: no tool names, no ids like od:prototype:poster-hero, no internal files (.artifact.json, .comments.json, config.json), and not the words "register", "manifest", "sidecar", "entry" or "surface", unless the user used them first.
  • Explain a print term the first time it comes up, in one short clause, and not again.
  • Say where a file is the way the user would find it ("in your Open Design folder, under seed-swap-flyer"). Give a raw path only where the user can click it (Claude Code, Claude Desktop's Code tab, VS Code) or asks for it.
  • End each reply that finishes a step with one line on what they can do next, with at most two options ("Want it in Instagram sizes too, or is it ready to print?").
