- 🤖 **Agent-native, model-agnostic.** We don't ship an agent. The `claude` / `codex` / `cursor-agent` / `copilot` / `hermes` / `kimi` already on your `PATH` are the design engine. Swap with one click.
- 🧠 **Brand-grade by default.** Every render reads the active package's `DESIGN.md` as the core brand contract. 151 design-system packages ship with the repo; legacy packages may be `DESIGN.md`-only, while newer packages can add `manifest.json`, `tokens.css`, components, assets, and provenance. Drop a folder in, the picker finds it.
- 🖥️ **Local-first, BYOK at every layer.** Native desktop apps for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows (x64). Linux AppImage on the optional release lane. Product analytics and session replay are consent-gated; scrubbed safety and reliability telemetry is always on. Before describing daemon data paths, contributors and operators MUST read `AGENTS.md` → **Daemon data directory contract**. This README MUST NOT restate it.
- 🖥️ **Local-first, BYOK at every layer.** Native desktop apps for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows (x64). Linux desktop users can currently run Open Design [from source](#-run-from-source); the latest official release does not include a prebuilt Linux artifact. Product analytics and session replay are consent-gated; scrubbed safety and reliability telemetry is always on. Before describing daemon data paths, contributors and operators MUST read `AGENTS.md` → **Daemon data directory contract**. This README MUST NOT restate it.
- 🌍 **Composable on four planes.** **Plugins** carry runnable workflows · functional **skills** carry agent behavior · **design templates** carry rendering blueprints · **design systems** carry the brand. All four use portable, versionable directories that anyone can author and publish.
- 🔁 **Refresh an existing codebase.** Hand a `git` repo + `DESIGN.md` to the agent and it refactors your real components to the brand spec. Dedicated plugins migrate Figma / Pencil workflows into React / Next.js / Vue code.
- 🔒 **Privacy by conviction.** Everything runs where your data lives — your laptop, your team's server, your Vercel project. When the network is needed, the BYOK proxy is SSRF-guarded.
