getdesign
Enter a URL and getdesign opens the site in a real browser, reads its actual CSS, extracts the color palette, fonts, spacing, and components, and generates a downloadable design.md design system document that can be used as a style guide or provided to coding agents.
About getdesign
getdesign opens a public website in a real browser, reads the site's CSS and rendered page, extracts its colors, fonts, spacing, and components, and generates a Markdown design system document named design.md. The document can be read as a style guide or provided as context to coding agents like Cursor to build consistently styled interfaces. It offers five ways to use it: web, API, CLI, SDK, and Skill. The web, API, CLI, and SDK all share the same agent core, while Skill uses your own coding agent tools. Visual runs require your own Daytona and OpenAI keys; V1 has no run billing from getdesign itself, and you pay those third-party service costs directly. Dashboard runs are private by default, and a public link is generated only when you actively publish them. When using the extraction results, you should comply with the target website's terms.
Best for
Best use cases
Quickly generate a CSS-based style reference for a public site when taking over or refactoring an interface
Provide a design document describing a target site's visual specs when having a coding agent (like Cursor) build interfaces
Save shareable or downloadable design documents and screenshots to serve as design review evidence
Features
Real Browser Extraction
The agent opens the site in a real browser, reads its CSS, and captures the rendered page, extracting colors, fonts, spacing, and components from it.
design.md Design System Document
Outputs a Markdown document describing the website's design system, which can be read as a style guide or provided as context to coding agents.
Screenshot Evidence
For visual runs, design.md embeds captured screenshots as data URLs, so a single downloaded file preserves the screenshot evidence; viewers that block data URLs (such as GitHub) can use the JSON output and save files separately.
Five Ways to Use It
The web, API, CLI, SDK, and Skill entries all share the same agent core, with Skill using your own coding agent tools.
Private Runs with Optional Publishing
Dashboard runs are private by default; publishing generates a public link for viewing and downloading the document and screenshots, and you can switch back to private at any time.
Pros
- The generated design.md is based on the site's actual CSS
- Offers five ways to use it: web, API, CLI, SDK, and Skill
- Runs are private by default, with the choice of whether to publish left to you
Cons
- Visual runs require your own Daytona and OpenAI keys; getdesign does not provide its own run billing in V1
- V1 has no getdesign API key; hosted runs rely on WorkOS login and third-party provider keys
- The visual Markdown embeds screenshots as data URLs, so viewers like GitHub that block data URLs require switching to JSON and saving the files separately
