Design OS

Design OS is an open-source product planning and UI design framework that sits at the intersection of design thinking and generative AI, guiding creators through a repeatable process from product idea to structured design deliverables. It fills what the maintainers describe as the “missing design process” in AI-first development, helping users define product visions, model data, map user flows, and lay out interfaces before a coding agent begins implementation. The tool is poised to produce production-ready UI components and artifacts that any AI coding tool can consume, encouraging a disciplined front-to-backend workflow that avoids disjointed, reactive design prompts. Design OS emphasizes clarity of intent, consistency of design systems, and exporting usable components rather than just static mockups, which aligns better with automated build pipelines and agent-driven development.
