Open Design
Open-source clone of Claude Design announced by Chase AI (released this week). 19 skills, 71 design systems pre-wired, BYOK, MIT, runs locally and plugs into any coding harness (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini).
Strengths
- Local-first + BYOK, no Anthropic quota to manage, you pick your provider
- 71 pre-wired design systems, fast start vs zero-config
- MIT + harness-agnostic, works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini
Limitations
- Brand-new release (this week), stability and ecosystem still to validate
- Direct competitor Open CoDesign (OpenCoworkAI), choosing between the two not trivial
Best for
- Designers/devs hitting Claude Design quotas who want a local-first setup
- Teams without Anthropic Pro budget but wanting the prompt-to-prototype experience
