00:00:00sir a second claw design clone has just hit github yes that is right we have yet another claw design
00:00:06clone except this time it comes with an actual graphic interface now earlier this week i put out
00:00:13a video on hu washu design which was sort of the first claw design clone out here on the market it
00:00:20did a really good job we showed it pretty much going head to head with your standard claw design
00:00:24format yet not running into any of the usage issues yet one of the problems with hu washu design was
00:00:30the fact that it was only inside the terminal i did not have a graphic interface like you see here
00:00:36with this brand new open design tool that pretty much apes claw design i mean just look at these
00:00:43two tools right here we have open design which is what we're going to be talking about today
00:00:48and here we have claw design extremely similar now the really cool thing about open design
00:00:54is that it is built on top of hu washu design and like you saw in the last video hu washu design is
00:00:59really really good we got some great content and great front-end designs from this repo and so now
00:01:06we're just taking that and putting a nice graphic layer on top of it so that it's way easier to
00:01:11interact with for most users and gives us a lot of that sort of polish that we saw originally with
00:01:16claw design even better open design is something that we can use with any coding tool it doesn't
00:01:22have to just be clawed code we can use gemini we can use codex and again we're not running into the
00:01:28usage issues we see inside of claw design proper so today we're going to run through open design i'm
00:01:34going to show you how it works how to install it what you should care about inside of here because
00:01:39i think there is a little bit of bloat and we'll actually do some comparisons between it and claw
00:01:43design spoiler alert it's pretty good i think it's solid and i am super excited that we're starting to
00:01:49get all these spin-offs of claw design because i really like claw design it's just like the usage
00:01:53is horrible so the more that these sort of tools come out i think the quicker entropic is going to
00:02:00get on board and kind of fix this usage mess so open design is the open source alternative to
00:02:05claw design we can connect it to things like clawed code or codex or we can just bring our own api key
00:02:12if we want to use some other harness or api it will automatically detect what sort of coding agents are
00:02:16on your computer and it has 31 skills and 72 brain grade design systems already built it now when i
00:02:24said it was built on top of washer design i wasn't joking they literally call this out themselves it's
00:02:28kind of a conglomeration of washer design the guzheng powerpoint skill open code design and then
00:02:34multica you put that all together and really i would say this is who washer design with a nice layer on
00:02:40top of it now the rest of the repo goes pretty in depth about what's going on under the hood and some
00:02:45examples and demos all you need to know this is open source claw design or as close as you're
00:02:49going to get to it now before we jump into the install a quick word from today's sponsor
00:02:53me so i just released my clawed code master class and it is the number one way to go from zero to
00:02:58ai dev especially if you don't come from a technical background i update this thing every single week
00:03:04and we really focus on real world use cases and how to use this tool to actually move the needle
00:03:09in your business or whatever venture you're working on you can find it inside of chase ai plus there's
00:03:14a link to that in the pin comment and i hope to see you there now two ways to install this you can go
00:03:18onto this repo you can open up the terminal and you can paste all this in there the second option is
00:03:23you just go to this link you copy it i'll have a link to this in the description you paste it into
00:03:28clawed code or codex or whatever and you say hey install this for me in a new directory and it will
00:03:32get it up and running now once you install this and get it running it should give you a link to the
00:03:36local dev server if it doesn't just tell clawed code hey spin up a dev server for open design and
00:03:42you should see a page like this and most likely you'll have something pop up that says hey do you
00:03:46want to use local cli or an anthropic api or what do you want to do in terms of the actual ai system
00:03:51so you're going to want to do local cli that means it's pulling off of clawed code or codex or open
00:03:56code specifically clawed code and codex that way you're not paying api fees it's all just being
00:04:01pulled from your max account for model you can just do default which is the cli config and then we have
00:04:06the ability to add media providers because as you will see here i can not only do prototypes slide
00:04:13decks and templates i can do images and videos as well so i can generate that from this ui but
00:04:18to generate video to generate images i need to add an api key to a model that does that so i can add
00:04:24stuff like minimax open ai 11 labs all sorts of stuff so that is useful and that is something you
00:04:30can't find inside of claw design now up top we have designs examples design systems image templates and
00:04:36video templates now what are these templates specifically inside of design systems well it's
00:04:40similar to awesomedesigns.md if you've seen that before so they've essentially gone to a website
00:04:46like airbnb for example and they've sort of broken out what's going on with that website in terms of
00:04:52palette typography components visual theme and atmosphere so the idea is if i wanted to create
00:04:58a website that was similar to airbnb and style i can use this prompt basically and include it and
00:05:06i'll get something close i think your results will vary here um i think the design system section
00:05:13looks cool i don't know how effective it really is in reality this stuff with image templates is
00:05:18similar it's just showing us example images and json prompts you could use to get something that's close
00:05:23i think this is bloat same thing video templates i think this is bloat looks cool you're not going
00:05:29to get any value out of this now we have examples here which are also kind of cool but understand
00:05:35this is just this is just what they got when they used a single line prompt right like this isn't
00:05:42there's not some fancy prompt in the background here for this the prompt is literally right here
00:05:47so if i hit use this prompt it's going to include it and it's one line design mutuals a dating site
00:05:53for x posters daily digest dashboard with stats mutual matches and a community ticker so
00:06:00you know uh don't get blown away by i think some of the examples they have in here it's a long it's
00:06:07one line it's it's one line prompt there's nothing there's nothing crazy happening here so let's focus
00:06:12on what you should actually care about and that is creating the prototypes and slide decks and these
00:06:16sort of standard type deliverables that you would see inside of claw design itself and it works
00:06:22pretty much the same way you're just going to name the demo you're going to choose a design system so
00:06:28you can do one or multiple and again we have this list of all of them that are already in there we
00:06:32decide if we want to do a wireframe or high fidelity we have the ability to import a claw
00:06:37design zip so let's say you created a design system inside of claw design i can turn that into a
00:06:44zip file and include it here and then we just hit create i want to quickly show off this example
00:06:51first here i asked open design to create the same thing that we demoed in that huasha design video
00:06:57which was i want a landing page for a fake sas product called lighthouse and it's meant for
00:07:03small teams solo founders and i want three examples that i can can compare all together and so i have
00:07:11sort of the classic stacked i have something that's more editorial and then something that's a bit more
00:07:17loud and in your face and when we compare that directly to what we got here inside of claw design
00:07:21you see a lot of similarities a lot of the same kind of fonts a lot of the same colors especially
00:07:26in the background especially since we did sort of an editorial bent you will also see over here on
00:07:32the left with open design that it went through the same sort of q a brief you could expect inside of
00:07:37claw design itself so it's asking me questions it gives me buttons to select etc etc it's pretty much
00:07:43the same exact product now of note one of the differences i did see when it came to open design
00:07:49versus claw design is open design was a little bit slower this took about 10 minutes versus claw
00:07:56design took about half the time of note even though we see stuff like common edit and draw that isn't
00:08:01actually available yet inside of open design although it is on the roadmap if you want the
00:08:06tweaks to pop up you're going to have to prompt open design directly to say hey can you create
00:08:13a tweaks panel where i can mess with things you know on my own very quickly by just like you know
00:08:18turning it on and off again very similar to what we do with huashu so open design's a bit slower
00:08:24it's missing some of these you know quality of life things but other than that very close to claw
00:08:30design now let's talk about if you want to use a design system of your own because it is one of
00:08:35those things that we kind of have to work around so if i wanted to create a slide deck that was using
00:08:40my agentic dashboard os sort of design system and for reference this is kind of what i'm talking
00:08:46about this is the sort of visual aesthetic i'm going for that inside of claw design itself i have
00:08:51a design system for if i want to recreate that sort of thing inside of open design how i do how can i
00:08:56do that and again it doesn't have to be my dashboard let's say you had a website you had your own assets
00:09:01typography whatever that you wanted to recreate here well there's nothing like very straightforward
00:09:08like i can't go into design systems and necessarily create that there's no button to do that at all so
00:09:14instead what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to import a claw design zip so if i
00:09:20created this design system inside of claw design already what i can do is i can go to that design
00:09:25system that's where i'm at right now i go to share and then i go to download project as dot zip then
00:09:32i can go inside of open design select that design system zip and upload it and you can see inside
00:09:39here all the design files that have just been uploaded now if you were trying to do something
00:09:45similar to this and you haven't turned it into a design system inside of claw design well i suggest
00:09:51you do that it's going to be the simplest way or you can essentially recreate the sort of design
00:09:55system setup yourself inside of codex or inside of cloud code again kind of janky one of the downsides
00:10:00of open design and this is a place where i think huasha design makes it a little bit easier because
00:10:04when we're inside of the terminal doing this versus on a graphic interface i can just say
00:10:08inside the terminal inside of cloud code hey take a look at that directory look at everything that's
00:10:14in there okay now recreate it this slide deck in that style so you know one of the downsides of
00:10:20being forced to use a ui so now i said in the prompt create a slide deck talking about my
00:10:25fake sas product lighthouse it's analytic stuff for small teams ask me whatever questions you need to
00:10:29so we'll zoom in a bit so you can see it's a little bit better but here's the questions it has for me
00:10:34who's the stack for let's say it's for product launch who's in the room uh we'll say product folks
00:10:44how many slides we'll keep it short fidelity i want high fidelity speaker notes no
00:10:51visual tones do brutalist use the agentic os design system and then we'll have it decide
00:11:00story beats and we'll send the answer and so much a normal clod code type breakdowns it will
00:11:04give you a to-do list and then slowly start working through it and here's what it ended
00:11:08up giving us for the first slide which looks pretty good i think this is definitely on brand
00:11:13with the design system we gave it however as you may notice i have no ability to actually swap
00:11:20between them either that or it made all of them the same so i told open design i can only see the first
00:11:25slide it's not swapping between any of them so we'll see if it's able to fix it so here's what
00:11:29open design ended up giving us for the slide deck and i also exported it to powerpoint so you could
00:11:34see what that export process looks like because things often look good inside of clod design and
00:11:39open design and then when you get it to powerpoint it can have some stuff that's a little off so
00:11:43first slide looks good second slide is fine we can see this is a little you could probably
00:11:52fix this a little bit with the numbers slide three right this is a little off we need to kind of
00:11:58change how this is separated and sort of the spacing between them slide four looks good
00:12:04this looks good slide six again we should probably move this up a little bit then slide seven we have
00:12:13a little bit of formatting issues again here keeping it inside the boxes but i would consider
00:12:18this a 90 solution would take you what five minutes to kind of fix that and it matches the design
00:12:24system we went for but i think you're able to see as we created this slide deck it is a little bit
00:12:29rough around the edges in comparison to more polished project like claw design and that's
00:12:33kind of to be expected open design literally came out this week so hopefully this is something they
00:12:37continue to iterate on and kind of smooth it out but overall what we're having just come out and
00:12:42this being pretty much the first iteration of it i think open design is a really solid tool if you are
00:12:48someone who wants to use claw design and wants some sort of graphic interface to do all this and you're
00:12:54getting crushed by usage if you don't need a graphic interface but you like the bones of claw
00:13:00design and how it works i think you washer design is still probably a little bit better it's quicker
00:13:05and because i'm inside of the terminal i think it's a little more flexible but if you're someone who's
00:13:10like i need i need i need this sort of interface well i think this is a solid alternative to claw
00:13:15design because i mean like i love claw design don't get me wrong it's just this usage is so absurd but
00:13:21again like i said earlier i hope 10 million of these tools come out tomorrow and that way kind
00:13:26of like gets a fire lit underneath anthropics like fix this usage problem like this is ridiculous so
00:13:31this is where i'm going to leave you i think it's a really cool tool definitely check it out yourself
00:13:34easy to set up and very flexible in terms of what sort of coding agents it works with so let me know
00:13:40what you thought about this in the comments make sure to check out chase ai plus if you want to get
00:13:43your hands on the Masterclass and I'll see you around.

Key Takeaway

Open Design provides a graphical, open-source alternative to Claude Design that uses local CLI configurations to eliminate usage restrictions while supporting complex prototype and slide deck generation.

Highlights

  • Open Design is an open-source graphical interface built on top of Huwashu Design that clones the functionality and aesthetic of Claude Design.

  • The tool connects to local coding agents like Claude Code or Codex to bypass the usage limits and API fees associated with proprietary platforms.

  • Open Design features 31 built-in skills and 72 brain-grade design systems modeled after established websites like Airbnb.

  • The platform supports media integration for generating images and videos by connecting API keys from providers like OpenAI, 11 Labs, and Minimax.

  • Prototype generation takes approximately 10 minutes in Open Design, which is roughly double the processing time of Claude Design.

Timeline

Introduction to the Open Design Ecosystem

  • Open Design serves as a graphical layer for the terminal-based Huwashu Design repository.
  • The interface allows users to switch between different underlying models including Gemini and Codex.
  • Local execution through existing coding tools prevents the common usage bottlenecks found in the official Claude Design interface.

Open Design represents a shift from terminal-only open-source clones to polished graphical user interfaces. It integrates multiple existing technologies including the Guzheng powerpoint skill and Multica. By operating on top of local coding agents, it maintains high-quality front-end design output without the constraints of a subscription-based platform.

Installation and Core Configuration

  • Users can install the tool by cloning the GitHub repository or using a coding agent to set up a new directory.
  • The Local CLI setting enables the tool to pull from a user's existing Max account rather than incurring separate API fees.
  • Media provider keys for external services enable integrated image and video generation within the UI.

The installation process offers two paths: manual terminal commands or automated setup via Claude Code. Once running on a local dev server, the configuration requires selecting the AI system mode. Choosing the local CLI option is the primary method for avoiding external costs, though users can still add specific API keys for multimedia capabilities not present in the base Claude Design.

Design Systems and Template Analysis

  • The platform includes pre-defined design systems that deconstruct the palette and typography of major sites.
  • Image and video templates function as JSON prompt examples to guide the generation of specific visual styles.
  • One-line prompts are sufficient to generate complex dashboards and community tickers.

Design systems in Open Design break down websites like Airbnb into specific components including visual theme and atmosphere. While the image and video template sections are noted as high-volume content, their primary utility is providing reference points for JSON-based prompting. The example section demonstrates that the system can interpret brief, single-line instructions to produce full-featured prototypes.

Workflow Comparison and Performance Benchmarks

  • Open Design generates prototypes with editorial or stacked layouts similar to those produced by Claude Design.
  • A full landing page generation takes 10 minutes compared to the 5-minute average for the proprietary version.
  • The current iteration lacks native 'edit' and 'draw' tools, though these features are listed on the development roadmap.

Direct comparisons using a fake SaaS product called Lighthouse show that Open Design produces similar font choices and color palettes to Claude Design. The generation process includes a standard Q&A brief to establish product goals and user targets. Users must currently prompt the tool to create custom 'tweaks' panels manually since integrated editing sliders are not yet functional.

Importing Design Systems and Exporting Deliverables

  • Existing Claude Design projects can be imported into Open Design using .zip file transfers.
  • Slide decks generated in the tool can be exported directly to PowerPoint format for external use.
  • Formatting errors such as text spacing and box alignment often require approximately five minutes of manual adjustment after export.

Because the UI lacks a direct 'create' button for new design systems, users must use a workaround by downloading existing projects from Claude Design and uploading them as zip files. When generating slide decks, the tool follows a structured to-do list and creates high-fidelity visuals based on specified story beats. While the final PowerPoint export is approximately 90% accurate, manual intervention is typically needed to fix minor layout shifts and formatting inconsistencies.
