Why another design tool?

Because the strongest agents already live on your laptop — and they deserve a real workflow.

About the studio · Nº 02

We treat your agent as a creative collaborator.

We don't ship one — we wire whichever you trust into a skill-driven design workflow that runs locally with pnpm tools-dev, deploys to Vercel, and stays BYOK at every layer.

  • Files, not opaque prompts — every skill is a folder of Markdown.
  • Deterministic visual directions, not random generation.
  • Sandboxed iframe preview, real cwd, exportable artifacts.

Skills, systems, surfaces — for creative intelligence.

Four composable surfaces, one feedback loop. Skills supply behavior. Systems supply taste. Adapters bridge agents. BYOK respects your wallet.

  • 31 file-based SKILL.md bundles — drop in, restart, appears.
  • 72 portable DESIGN.md systems — Linear, Vercel, Stripe, Apple…
  • 12 agent adapters — Claude · Codex · Gemini · Cursor · …
  • OpenAI-compatible proxy — paste a baseUrl + key, ship.

Method · Nº 05

From signals to systems.

Every project moves through four iterative stages. The agent picks each stage's tools deterministically; you stay in control.

  • 01 · Detect — daemon scans $PATH, auto-loads skills + systems.
  • 02 · Discover — 30s question form locks brand · audience · scale.
  • 03 · Direct — pick one of 5 visual directions in OKLch + type stack.
  • 04 · Deliver — write to disk, preview in sandbox, export anywhere.

Skills that turn briefs into memorable artifacts.

From editorial decks to consumer dashboards — the same loop, different surface. Every output is a real file you can hand to a client tomorrow.
