StyleSeed
StyleSeed is an open-source design-method engine that enables coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to apply repeatable expert design decisions.
StyleSeed is an open-source design-method engine for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It compiles specific design rules into a project-local bundle to ensure repeatable application of expert judgment. The system includes a quality gate that scores and revises code and rendered output based on 74 craft rules, preventing common AI artifacts like layout drift and unintentional hierarchy. Users install skills into their project folders to guide the agent, which then adheres to recorded decisions regarding skins, colors, and structure. The engine enables tasks such as reference compilation from screenshots and the application of morphable brand recipes to UI development.
