Summary: 🎨 The open-source Claude Design alternative.
- What happened: 🎨 The open-source Claude Design alternative.
- Why it matters: 0.13.0 keeps the session alive: resume Codex / OpenCode / Pi / Open Design Cloud runs across turns, pick the right model faster, and hand off screenshot-backed PPTX /.
- What to do: Validate with one small internal benchmark and compare against your current baseline this week.

🎨 The open-source Claude Design alternative.
What's new
🖥️ Local-first native desktop app for macOS and Windows.
Key details
- 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes, landing pages, dashboards, slides, images & video — real files, HTML/PDF/PPTX/MP4 export.
- 🤖 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Gemini / OpenCode / Qwen & 20+ CLIs via BYOK.
- 🔥 Open Design 0.13.0 — Stay in Flow is here.
- Long design sessions used to break on every interruption — a run lost its place, a model picker made you guess, an export needed one more detour.
Results & evidence
- 🤖 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Gemini / OpenCode / Qwen & 20+ CLIs via BYOK.
- 🔥 Open Design 0.13.0 — Stay in Flow is here.
- 0.13.0 keeps the session alive: resume Codex / OpenCode / Pi / Open Design Cloud runs across turns, pick the right model faster, and hand off screenshot-backed PPTX / PDF without leaving the app.
Limitations / unknowns
- Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.
Next-step validation checks
- Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
- Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
- Track whether independent teams report matching results.

Deny-by-default enforcement, human approvals, and a cryptographically signed audit trail — so your agent runs only what it's granted and provably can't approve its own work.
Key details
- Your agents keep running in their existing framework (LangChain, Claude SDK, CrewAI).
- MakerChecker sits in front of every tool call as a checkpoint and behind it as a signed ledger: an agent acts only through a role, runs only the skills it was granted, cannot exceed its limits, and cannot approve its own work.
- Find what your agent can already do on its own, classified by risk.
