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.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00052 | $0.01155 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00577 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00231 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00115 |
Grade A, and why
html-ppt-zhangzara-scatterbrain 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scatterbrain
Post-it inspired: pastel sticky notes, Caveat handwriting, Shrikhand and Zilla Slab type stack.
A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.
At a glance
- Scheme: light
- Formality: low
- Density: high
- Slides in demo: 10
Best for
Anything that should feel like a designer's whiteboard: brainstorms, workshops, creative-agency credentials, design-thinking sessions, ideation pitches, art-direction reviews. Equally fun for any deck — including tech, research, or business — that wants to read as in-progress thinking rather than polished conclusions.
Avoid for
Contexts that demand precision and institutional weight — the post-it sticky-note aesthetic intentionally reads as warm and unfinished.
Workflow
- Clone
example.htmlinto the user's workspace as the working file. - Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
- Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
- Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels.
- Designing missing layouts: if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template.
- Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an
assets/deck-stage.jsor inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

html-ppt-zhangzara-scatterbrain is a skill published in the GitHub repository nexu-io/open-design (95,624 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,155 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-09-03.
