## Description

Start a new design by picking what to make (prototype, mobile app, slides, document, wireframe, animation, résumé, research, data report, poster, social post, diagram), then build it with the right recipe

Start a new design with Open Design.

Request: the rest of the user's message (if there is none, ask the user: "What do you want to make, and what is it for?")

**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?").

| Instead of | Say |
|---|---|
| artifact, entry, registered | your design, saved |
| design system, active design system | your style (the first time: "a saved style: colours, fonts and spacing") |
| surface, skill, template, recipe | kind of design, starting layout, or nothing |
| workspace, output directory | your folder, your Open Design folder |
| bleed | print edge ("a few millimetres extra that the printer trims off") |
| trim size | final size |
| preflight findings, errors | "I checked it and fixed…", "one thing to look at:" |
| export | save as PDF, save as an image |
| inline preview, MCP App | the preview above |

## 1. Pick the surface
