designer-gpt

A coding agent that turns a written description of an interface into an image mockup. The mockup is a visual reference for building the frontend.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create visual examples of dashboards and other user interfaces from text, through the listed CLI or SDK setup.
Why use it?
It lets you review a proposed layout before writing code, which can reduce rework during interface development.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

designer-gpt scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

DesignerGPT

Feature: img CLI: autogpt design

DesignerGPT generates visual UI mockups and design assets using an AI image generation API (GetImg). It transforms a textual interface description into a rendered image that can be used as a design reference for frontend development.

What DesignerGPT Solves

Getting sign-off on UI layout before any code is written saves significant rework. DesignerGPT generates visual mockups from natural language descriptions in seconds, enabling rapid design iteration without a designer in the loop.

Enabling DesignerGPT

DesignerGPT requires the img feature flag and the GETIMG_API_KEY environment variable:

cargo install autogpt --features img,cli

export GETIMG_API_KEY=<your_getimg_api_key>

Obtain your API key from the GetImg Dashboard.

CLI Usage

autogpt design

Describe the UI you want to generate when prompted:

> A dark-themed dashboard with a sidebar navigation, metrics cards, and a chart area

SDK Usage

use autogpt::prelude::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let persona = "Senior UI/UX Designer";
    let behavior = "Design a modern dark-themed analytics dashboard with sidebar navigation.";

    let agent = DesignerGPT::new(persona, behavior).await;

    AutoGPT::default()
        .with(agents![agent])
        .build()
        .expect("Failed to build AutoGPT")
        .run()
        .await
        .unwrap();
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

designer-gpt is an agent published in the GitHub repository wiseaidotdev/autogpt (115 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 446 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
