Question 1

What is getdesign?

Accepted Answer

getdesign is a developer tool that turns any public URL into a production-grade design system. An agent opens the site in a real browser, extracts palette, typography, and components from the actual computed CSS, and returns a design.md file.

Question 2

How does getdesign work?

Accepted Answer

A headless browser renders the target URL, the agent walks the DOM and reads computed styles, clusters tokens to find real design decisions, identifies components, and writes the result to Markdown.

Question 3

What surfaces does getdesign provide?

Accepted Answer

Five surfaces share one agent core: a web chat UI, an HTTP API at api.getdesign.app, a CLI published as @getdesign/cli, a TypeScript SDK published as @getdesign/sdk, and a portable Skill that runs inside Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

Question 4

Does it scrape HTML?

Accepted Answer

No. It renders the site in a real browser and reads computed CSS, so the extracted tokens reflect what users actually see.

Question 5

Is there authentication or a paid tier?

Accepted Answer

Not in v1. The beta is free, with rate limits. Private beta early access is available on the home page.
