What is Superdesign?
Superdesign is an open-source design agent that integrates seamlessly into development environments like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and VS Code. Rather than switching between separate design tools and code editors, developers can describe UI requirements in plain language within their IDE and instantly receive production-ready designs. The platform generates full UI screens, reusable components, and low-fidelity wireframes while maintaining complete local processing for privacy and performance. All designs are saved locally in the .superdesign/ folder, allowing developers to fork, iterate, and evolve designs using version-control-like workflows before integrating them into projects.
Key Features
Multi-Format Design Generation Create full UI screens, individual components, and wireframe layouts from natural language descriptions, all with production-ready code.
Local-First Processing Designs are generated and stored entirely on your machine in the .superdesign/ folder, ensuring privacy and enabling offline functionality.
IDE Integration Works natively within Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and VS Code as an extension, eliminating context switching between design and development tools.
Fork and Iterate Design Duplicate designs and refine them with natural language feedback, enabling rapid exploration of multiple design variations and alternatives.
Cross-Agent Prompt Sharing Copy generated prompts directly into your favorite coding agent (Cursor Composer, Windsurf, Claude Code) to implement designs or combine with backend development.
Customizable Design Agent Modify design prompts, create custom templates, and extend behaviors to match your design system and project requirements.
Use Cases
Rapid UI Prototyping : Developers and designers can quickly explore multiple UI concepts and design directions without leaving the IDE, accelerating the prototyping phase.
Frontend Component Generation : Automatically generate reusable UI components with clean code that can be directly integrated into React, Vue, or vanilla JavaScript projects.
Design System Implementation : Create consistent, production-ready components that follow design system principles and can be easily modified or extended.
Full-Stack Development Acceleration : Pair Superdesign with coding agents to simultaneously generate frontend interfaces and backend logic, streamlining end-to-end development workflows.
Design Exploration and Validation : Quickly sketch wireframes and explore layout alternatives to validate UX decisions early before committing to full design or development.
