Design Rails

Design Rails bridges the gap between creative vision and technical execution. By chatting with an AI Creative Director, you can craft a comprehensive brand identity—complete with logos, typography, and voice—that is specifically structured for AI coding agents to understand.

Most developers using tools like Cursor, v0, or Bolt.dev struggle with inconsistent UI "hallucinations" where the AI ignores brand rules. Design Rails solves this by providing a structured /design-context folder that gives your agents the precise rules they need to build on-brand interfaces from the first prompt.

Key Features

🤖 Agent-Ready Brand Context Generate a comprehensive brand-identity.md file designed for CLAUDE.md or .cursorrules. This provides your AI agent with the visual principles, voice, and design "do’s and don’ts" necessary to maintain consistency across your entire codebase.

🎨 Full Logo & Asset Suite Receive a complete package of primary logos, wordmarks, and icons in both SVG and PNG formats. The suite includes monochrome, light, and dark variants, ensuring your brand looks professional across any theme or device.

🔢 W3C Standard Design Tokens Export your colors, spacing, radii, and shadows into a design-tokens.json file. These tokens follow the W3C Community Group format, making them ready to import into any modern CSS framework or component library.

✍️ Voice, Tone, and UX Guidelines Define how your product speaks and behaves. This feature generates specific patterns for error messages, empty states, and call-to-action buttons, ensuring your AI agent writes microcopy that fits your brand personality.

📐 Semantic Typography Systems Establish clear visual hierarchies with curated type scales and pairings. These rules ensure that your AI-generated layouts remain readable and structured, regardless of the screen size or device your users prefer.

Use Cases

Launching a New MVP with Cursor or v0 When starting a project, you can drop your Design Rails package into a /design-context folder. By prompting your agent to "Read these instructions before building," you ensure every generated component—from buttons to navigation bars—aligns with your brand without manual CSS fixes.

Scaling Consistency Across a Remote Team Teams can sync the design-context folder across their repository. This ensures that whether a developer is using Claude or Bolt.dev, the AI output remains identical, preventing "design drift" where different parts of the app start looking like different products.

Rapidly Pivoting a Brand Identity If your product direction changes, you can iterate with the AI Creative Director to update your tokens and specs. Because the system is file-based and lives in your repo, you can update your entire UI logic by simply swapping the context files.

Why Choose Design Rails?

Built for the Agentic Workflow Unlike traditional design tools meant for human handoff, Design Rails prioritizes machine-readable context. It translates abstract design concepts into the Markdown and JSON formats that LLMs process most effectively.

Zero Vendor Lock-in Your design system lives in your repository, not on a proprietary SaaS platform. Once you download your package, you own the files and the rights to the assets. You don't need a subscription to keep your brand running.

Risk-Free Creation The platform allows you to iterate and refine your entire brand identity through the chat interface for free. You only pay when you are satisfied with the results and ready to download the production-ready package.

Strategic Impact

Design Rails transforms design from a bottleneck into a portable asset. By providing your coding agents with a "source of truth," you eliminate the repetitive cycle of styling fixes and empower your AI tools to produce professional, production-ready interfaces.
