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

social-carousel 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Produce a 3-panel social carousel on a single dark stage. Each panel is a 1080×1080 cinematic still — connected as a series, but each readable on its own.

Workflow

  1. Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the loudest serif token for the headline lockups and a mono token for stamps / counters.
  2. Pick the theme + 3 captions from the brief. The captions must read as one sentence when stacked: ("onwards." → "to the next one." → "looking ahead." or "input." → "iterate." → "ship.").
  3. Stage — full-bleed dark page. Top header strip:
    • Left: serif italic display "Three posts. One beat."
    • Just below the title: a one-line description in muted mono ("1080×1080 · cinematic video loops · minimal type. Drop into Instagram, LinkedIn, or X — each post stands on its own or runs as a three-part series.").
    • Right: small mono badge "SERIES · 01 → 03".
  4. Cards — 3 squares in a horizontal row (wraps to stack on narrow viewports). Each card is aspect-ratio: 1 / 1 with rounded 12px corners and a subtle 1px border, plus a soft drop shadow.
    • Background: a layered gradient that suggests a cinematic photo — for example, panel 1 = warm dawn meadow (stacked greens with a cyan sky wash); panel 2 = forest dusk (warm oranges fading into deep teals); panel 3 = pink-mountain ridge (rosy peaks against a dim violet sky). Use radial-gradient + linear-gradient only — no images.
    • Top-left chip: brand wordmark in serif italic ("Jerrod Lew") with a small accent dot.
    • Top-left below chip: micro mono index "AI · 01 / 03" (and 02, 03).
    • Bottom-left: the headline lockup in white serif display, italic accent on one word.
    • Bottom-right corner: a 1× LOOP mono stamp inside a thin border.
    • Bottom strip caption: small caps mono describing the imagined frame ("Man, walking forward — close.", "Woman, stepping into frame.", "Woman, overlooking the city.").
  5. Write a single HTML document:
    • <!doctype html> through </html>, CSS inline.
    • Cards are sized via width: clamp(280px, 30vw, 380px) so 3 fit comfortably across most desktops and stack at < 1100px.
    • data-od-id on stage, each card, each headline.
  6. Self-check:
    • The three headlines together form one sentence and feel cinematic.
    • Mono is used only for the wordmark index, the loop stamp, and the bottom captions. The headlines stay serif.
    • Each panel's color story is distinct — no two share a dominant hue.

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.
