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.

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

image-poster 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 5d 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.

Image Poster Skill

Produce one finished image asset per turn unless the user asks for variations. Image generation rewards a tight, structured prompt — your job is to assemble that prompt from the user's brief, then dispatch.

Workflow

Step 0 — Read the project metadata

The active project carries imageModel, imageAspect, and (optional) imageStyle notes. Use them as the upstream model + canvas + style anchor. When a value is not provided, infer a safe default from the brief and media contract. Ask only when the choice would materially change the requested result and no safe default can be inferred.

Step 1 — Compose the prompt

Plan in this exact order before calling any tool:

  1. Subject + composition — what is in the frame, where, at what scale; eye-line and crop.
  2. Lighting + mood — natural / studio / moody; warm / cool; key plus rim plus fill; time of day if outdoor.
  3. Palette + textures — hex anchors when the user gave a brand palette; otherwise a 3-word mood tag (e.g. "muted ochre + ink").
  4. Camera / lens — only if the user wants photographic realism ("85mm portrait, shallow DOF") or a specific film stock.
  5. What to avoid — common AI-slop patterns ("no extra fingers, no warped text, no logo placeholders").

Step 2 — Dispatch via the media contract

Use the unified dispatcher — do not call upstream provider APIs by hand. Run from your shell tool:

"$OD_NODE_BIN" "$OD_BIN" media generate \
  --project "$OD_PROJECT_ID" \
  --surface image \
  --model "<imageModel from metadata>" \
  --aspect "<imageAspect from metadata>" \
  --output "<short-descriptive-name>.png" \
  --prompt "<the full assembled prompt from Step 1>"

The command prints one line of JSON: {"file": {"name": "...", ...}}. The daemon writes the bytes into the project folder; the FileViewer picks it up automatically.

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.
