What problem does it solve?
It removes the friction of starting and wiring a local Open Design environment so OMK/Kimi can rapidly generate design prototypes, decks, and design artifacts in a browser-based workspace.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Local Open Design workspace startup: Clones or reuses the pinned
nexu-io/open-design checkout under .omk/open-design, installs the pinned pnpm workspace when needed, and starts both the daemon and web UI.
- OMK prompt-template integration: Registers an Awesome DESIGN.md Web UI Reference (OMK) prompt template so prompts can leverage catalog-style
DESIGN.md names (e.g., vercel, linear.app, stripe, voltagent) while keeping local tokens authoritative.
- Operational safety for local runs: Guards against accidental secret leakage via default env-var filtering and provides rules for adapting references without cloning trademarked visuals.
- Use Case: When you want a consistent design system output for a product update, you can start the local UI and have Kimi draft presentation-ready artifacts while using your local
DESIGN.md tokens as the source of truth.
Quick Start
Run OMK with: omk design open-design --open to start Open Design locally and print the localhost URL.
