Designpowers

Designpowers is a markdown-based team of 10 specialized AI design agents coordinated through skills, agents and hooks. It supports research, strategy, interface design, production-code building, accessibility evaluation, critique, handoff and retrospective design memory, and is available as a Claude Code plugin and Gemini CLI extension with instructions that can also be read by other listed coding tools.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Designpowers when a project needs a structured path from discovery to implementation, or when an existing interface needs a focused review without the full build pipeline. Direct mode suits work where each handoff needs human approval; Auto mode suits a pipeline the user prefers to review at the end.

Who it is for

  • Product and interface designers directing AI-assisted workflows
  • Developers who want design specifications and reviews connected to production-code work
  • Teams seeking accessibility and usability checks during, rather than only after, implementation
  • Users who want to compare design directions while retaining approval over agent handoffs

Documented uses

  • Turn a product brief into research, strategy, design and implementation tasks
  • Build interface specifications into production code
  • Review a screenshot, URL or code through accessibility, heuristic and design-critique agents
  • Route review findings back into the workflow for correction
  • Record recurring design preferences and present competing design directions
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies an MIT license. It describes CLI or self-hosted use through a Claude Code plugin, Gemini CLI extension and markdown-compatible coding tools.

  • The Build lane covers the full design-and-build workflow, while the Review lane focuses on screenshots, URLs or code.
  • Direct mode provides approval, correction, addition, redirection and skip controls at handoffs; Auto mode runs the pipeline with review at the end.
  • The system combines design, implementation, accessibility and usability roles rather than limiting the workflow to code generation.
  • Its markdown-based structure supports the listed coding environments, but the repository does not document setup commands or compatibility tests for each one.
  • The review process includes WCAG/COGA evaluation, cognitive walkthroughs and Nielsen’s heuristics as named workflow responsibilities.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Review an existing interface with the Review lane

Use the documented Review lane to audit a screenshot, URL or code through specialist reviewers.

Before you start

  • A screenshot, URL or codebase to review.
  • A supported coding tool that reads Designpowers markdown instructions, such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot or Aider.

Steps

  1. Provide the screenshot, URL or code as the project input.

  2. Use the Review lane rather than the full Build lane.

  3. Let the review agents assess the input through accessibility, heuristic and design-critique perspectives.

  4. Review the findings and direct any required corrections or follow-up work.

Expected outcome

A structured review of the supplied interface input without running the complete design-and-build pipeline.

Guide limitations

  • The cited material describes the Review lane and its accepted inputs, but does not specify additional setup commands or execution results.
