About the project

OpenDesign is an open-source, local-first desktop app that lets coding agents create prototypes, dashboards, slide decks, images, video, and design systems as exportable files. It is used by people working with agent runtimes such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and DeepSeek Harness. The catalogue add-ons extend the OpenDesign workflow with skills, instructions, commands, and plugins.

    Tool calls are chained to bypass individual safety checks or escalate capabilities beyond what any single tool call would allow.
    Fix: Limit tool chaining depth and validate the output of each tool before passing it to the next. Require explicit user approval for multi-step chains.

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

hps-bauhaus 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 7d 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.

Bauhaus Primary (hps-bauhaus)

Single-theme deck plugin ported from the bauhaus theme of the upstream MIT-licensed lewislulu/html-ppt-skill (36 themes × 31 layouts × 27 animations). This plugin locks one skin: design-history geometric modernism — the 1919–1933 Dessau language of square/triangle/circle, the three primaries on an aged paper ground, and typography that behaves like a poster.

Start from example.html. Replace content only. Never rewrite the design system or the runtime script. Never introduce a color or font outside the token sheet below.

Locked token sheet (:root, do not deviate)

:root{
  --bg:#f4efe3;            /* aged canvas ground */
  --bg-soft:#e8e2d1;       /* darker canvas */

  --surface-2:#f4efe3;
  --border:#111111;        /* ink — every stroke is this */
  --border-strong:#111111;
  --text-1:#111111; --text-2:#333333; --text-3:#666666;
  --accent:#e03c27;        /* Rot — red */
  --accent-2:#f4c430;      /* Gelb — yellow */
  --accent-3:#1d4eaf;      /* Blau — blue */
  --good:#1b8c3c; --warn:#f4c430; --bad:#e03c27;

  --letter-tight:-.03em; --letter-normal:-.01em;
  --ease:cubic-bezier(.4,0,.2,1);
}

Hard rules derived from the sheet:

  • The three-band gradient (--grad) has hard stops — it is a flag, not a blend. Use it only on .gradient-text hero words, .tri-band, and .divider-accent. Never use soft multi-stop gradients.
  • All chrome is ink: 2px solid #111 borders on cards, pills, chart bars, checkboxes; 3px strokes inside SVG.
  • Shadows are hard offsets (4px 4px 0 #111, 8px 8px 0 #111). Blurred rgba drop shadows are forbidden.
  • border-radius is 0 on every element except the geometric circle device (border-radius:50%).

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.
