It ships no model of its own. Instead it treats the coding agents already installed on your machine (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor…) as the design engine, orchestrating three layers of files — skills, design systems, plugins — to produce real HTML/CSS artifacts, preview them live in a sandbox, and export HTML/PDF/PPTX/MP4. This piece runs from positioning and the three-tier system architecture, through the DESIGN.md contract, to the gap between the marketing copy and what the repo actually ships, and finally a full local hands-on.
