Design Systems

Each subfolder is a portable design system in DESIGN.md format. Pick one in the top-bar Design system dropdown and every skill will read it as part of its system prompt.

What's bundled

• default/ — Neutral Modern. Hand-authored starter for the OD spec.

• warm-editorial/ — Warm Editorial. Hand-authored serif starter.

• atelier-zero/ — Atelier Zero. Hand-authored magazine-grade collage system: warm paper canvas, plaster-and-architecture imagery, oversized italic-mixed display type, Roman-numeral section markers, side rails of rotated micro-text, coordinate annotations, single coral accent. Pairs with skills/open-design-landing/ and skills/open-design-landing-deck/ for the canonical landing-page and slide-deck renderings.

• kami/ — 紙 / 纸. Editorial paper system distilled from tw93/kami (MIT). Warm parchment canvas, ink-blue accent, serif at one weight, no italic, no cool grays. Pairs with the templates/kami-deck.html starter for slide work.

• 57 design skills, sourced from bergside/awesome-design-skills and added directly as normalized 9-section DESIGN.md files.

• 72 product systems, including 70 imported from VoltAgent/awesome-design-md (the getdesign@latest npm package, MIT-licensed), plus two hand-authored additions (cisco, webex). This table covers that imported product-system subset only; the full bundled catalog is larger once you include the hand-authored starters and the separate design-skill systems listed above. One folder per brand:

  Category	Systems
  AI & LLM	claude · cohere · elevenlabs · minimax · mistral-ai · ollama · opencode-ai · replicate · runwayml · together-ai · voltagent · x-ai
  Developer Tools	cursor · expo · lovable · raycast · superhuman · vercel · warp
  Productivity & SaaS	cal · intercom · linear-app · mintlify · notion · resend · webex · zapier
  Backend & Data	cisco · clickhouse · composio · hashicorp · mongodb · posthog · sanity · sentry · supabase
  Design & Creative	airtable · clay · figma · framer · miro · webflow
  Fintech & Crypto	binance · coinbase · kraken · mastercard · revolut · stripe · wise
  E-Commerce & Retail	airbnb · meta · nike · shopify · starbucks
  Media & Consumer	apple · ibm · nvidia · pinterest · playstation · spacex · spotify · theverge · uber · vodafone · wired · xiaohongshu
  Automotive	bmw · bugatti · ferrari · lamborghini · renault · tesla

Folders use ASCII slugs — dotted brands are normalized (linear.app → linear-app, x.ai → x-ai, etc.).

Design System Project Shape

The current runtime still supports legacy folders that contain only DESIGN.md. New imported or packaged systems should use the project shape below so picker, daemon, agents, validators, and future importers can all discover the same files without guessing.

design-systems/<slug>/
├── manifest.json                ← machine-readable project entry
├── USAGE.md                     ← optional agent-facing package guide
├── DESIGN.md                    ← canonical design prose for agents
├── tokens.css                   ← canonical compiled CSS custom properties
├── components.html              ← optional standalone component fixture
├── components.manifest.json     ← optional rebuildable component cache
├── assets/                      ← optional brand assets
├── fonts/                       ← optional webfont files
├── preview/                     ← optional static preview pages
└── source/                      ← optional importer evidence and snippets

manifest.json is validated by pnpm guard when present. PR1 does not require every bundled system to ship a manifest; old DESIGN.md systems are skipped by the manifest guard and continue to work.

Minimum v1 manifest:

{
  "schemaVersion": "od-design-system-project/v1",
  "id": "default",
  "name": "Neutral Modern",
  "category": "Starter",
  "description": "A clean, product-oriented default.",
  "source": {
    "type": "bundled",
    "origin": "hand-authored"
  },
  "files": {
    "design": "DESIGN.md",
    "tokens": "tokens.css",
    "components": "components.html"
  }
}

For v1, file locations are intentionally fixed:

• files.design must be DESIGN.md.
• files.tokens must be tokens.css.
• files.components is optional and, when declared, must be components.html.
• assetsDir is optional and, when declared, must be assets.
• previewDir is optional and, when declared, must be preview.

Imported systems may also declare richer optional indexes:

{
  "usage": "USAGE.md",
  "componentsManifest": "components.manifest.json",
  "importMode": "hybrid",
  "craft": { "applies": [], "suggested": [], "exemptions": [] },
  "fonts": [],
  "preview": { "dir": "preview", "pages": [] },
  "sourceFiles": {
    "scanned": "source/scanned-files.json",
    "evidence": "source/evidence.md",
    "tokens": "source/tokens.source.json",
    "snippets": "source/snippets/INDEX.json"
  }
}

For PR0, these richer fields are structural only: the guard validates safe relative paths, declared file or directory existence, JSON readability for declared JSON indexes, and optional components.manifest.json drift. Runtime prompt composition and picker behavior continue to use the existing DESIGN.md / tokens.css / components.html paths until later PRs consume the richer indexes.

The schema source of truth lives in _schema/manifest.schema.ts. The guard lives in ../scripts/check-design-system-manifests.ts.

Legacy File Shape

The first H1 is the title shown in the picker. The line immediately after the H1 is parsed for > Category: <name> and used to group the dropdown:

# Design System Inspired by Cohere

> Category: AI & LLM
> Enterprise AI platform. Vibrant gradients, data-rich dashboard aesthetic.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
...

Both the boilerplate prefix Design System Inspired by and the > Category: ... line are stripped from the dropdown label and the summary preview at runtime — they're only metadata.

Adding your own

Drop a new folder containing a DESIGN.md and it shows up on next refresh. Add a > Category: <Group> line to slot it under an existing group, or use any new label and it lands at the bottom of the dropdown.

Refreshing the bundled set

The 70 imported product systems are pulled from the upstream npm package. To re-sync to the latest hashes:

curl -sL $(npm view getdesign dist.tarball) -o /tmp/getdesign.tgz
tar -xzf /tmp/getdesign.tgz -C /tmp
node --experimental-strip-types scripts/sync-design-systems.ts

For now, the original importer lives at the top of the excessive-climb branch — re-run it against a fresh tarball.

Attribution

The 70 imported product systems are sourced from VoltAgent/awesome-design-md (MIT, © VoltAgent contributors). They are aesthetic inspirations — none of them are official assets of the brands they reference.

The cisco/ and webex/ systems are hand-authored additions based on the current public Cisco and Webex / Momentum visual languages.

The kami/ system adapts tokens, type rules, and the "ten invariants" from tw93/kami (MIT, © Tw93 and contributors), a Claude skill for typesetting professional documents and slide decks.

The 57 design skills are sourced from bergside/awesome-design-skills.
