Your Coding Agent.A Better DesignWorkflow.
Workflow guides, setup notes and design resources for 22 coding agents, so the tool you already use can turn a brief into a considered interface.
Three Roles in a Coding Agent Design Workflow
What a design agent isA coding agent turns instructions into code. A design workflow adds the references, constraints and review that turn that code into a usable interface.
- 01Your Coding Agent
- Reads the project, makes changes and responds to feedback. Keep the tool you already use.
- 02OpenDesign
- The workspace for the brief, design resources and visual review. Each agent guide explains the setup.
- 03Your Judgment
- Choose the reference, define what must stay consistent and check the result on real screens.

Design Resources for Coding Agents
Coding Agents, Models and Skills Explained
You do not need a new coding agent for this workflow. These answers cover the terms and the related pages.
Do I Need to Switch Agents?
No. Begin with the guide for your current tool. The setup and available capabilities depend on that tool and version; the directory does not rank them.
Are Agents, Models and Skills the Same Thing?
No. A model powers the reasoning, an agent operates on the task, and a skill supplies a reusable way of working. The skills directory lists that last layer.
I Am Comparing Design Tools. Where Should I Go?
Use the tool comparisons for replacement and coexistence questions. These agent guides explain working with a tool you already use.
What Should My First Task Be?
Choose one small interface and bring a reference. Check its layout, one interaction and a narrow screen before expanding. A template can give you a starting point.
