baoyu-design

Baoyu-design turns your AI coding agent into a UI designer. Describe a screen and it generates a polished, self-contained HTML mockup, prototype, wireframe, or even a slide deck, right inside Cursor or Claude Code. It's a local, MIT-licensed take on Anthropic's claude.ai/design feature, so you get that capability without the hosted product.

It has grown fast. Version 1.2 added routing across 13 project types plus workflows for 3D objects, data visualization, HTML email, maps, and landing pages, on top of the design-system, deck, and mobile-layout skills it started with. Output is self-contained HTML with exports to PDF, editable PowerPoint, and into Figma or Canva. Install is a single command through the skills CLI, and it works across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and a long list of other agents.

This is the open alternative to claude.ai/design, and it overlaps Figma AI, v0, and Lovable for spinning up mockups fast. It does not replace Figma as a collaborative design tool; it replaces the "generate me a first draft" step. Solo builders and small teams who want quick UI drafts: install it and go.

The catch: quality leans hard on running a strong model, Opus 4.8 specifically, inside a paid coding agent, so "free" assumes you already pay for the agent underneath. It's also solo-maintained and reshaping itself release to release, so expect the shape of it to keep changing.
