## 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.

## 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.
