Open-source tool runs Claude-style design work locally
baoyu-design is an open-source tool for using Claude-style design work inside local tools like Cursor and Claude Code. It can create UI mockups, prototypes, decks, and wireframes as self-contained HTML. This may help AI agent builders reduce tool switching and repeated prompts, but model cost still matters.
Key points
- It runs as an Agent Skill inside tools such as Cursor and Claude Code.
- It creates self-contained HTML, so the result can be opened and shared easily.
- It may save time by turning design requests into usable drafts faster.
- The project says it works best with Opus 4.8, so cost should be checked before heavy use.
