### 🔥 0.8.0-preview is here.

An open, agent-native alternative to Claude Design / Figma — 40k stars in two weeks got us this far.

Anthropic's [Claude Design][cd] (released 2026-04-17, Opus 4.7) showed what happens when an LLM stops writing prose and starts shipping design artifacts.

It went viral — and stayed closed-source, paid-only, cloud-only, locked to Anthropic's model and Anthropic's skills.

There is no checkout, no self-host, no Vercel deploy, no swap-in-your-own-agent.

We don't ship an agent — the strongest coding agents already live on your laptop.

We wire them into a skill-driven design workflow that runs locally with pnpm tools-dev, can deploy the web layer to Vercel, and stays BYOK at every layer.

The agent picks one of five curated visual directions.

Agent / Skill / MCP / Workflow fit.

This panel keeps technical format separate from the user-facing AI category.
