DESIGN.md is a structured markdown file that defines your project's brand spec — tokens (colors, typography, spacing, radius), voice, narrative, principles, personas, states, and motion. AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor) read it as authoritative context before generating any UI, so the output looks like your brand instead of generic 'modern minimalist' slop.

How does oh-my-design work?

Run `npx oh-my-design-cli install-skills` once in your project. It installs 18 skills (core flow + live-capture + asset + the v0.2 agent layer: orchestrator, kr-writer, locale-adapter, designer-review, final-qa, codex-image), 16 sub-agents (master orchestrator + 15 specialists), 4 hooks, and 400 reference DESIGN.md files. After restarting your AI coding agent, you just talk in natural language — skills route to the right sub-agents automatically.

Does it call any AI provider during install?

No. The install is a pure markdown copy — zero API calls, zero data leaves your machine. Your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Cursor) is the inference layer; install just teaches it where to look.

Which AI coding agents are supported?

Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor — Cursor has a dedicated install channel (--agent cursor) that writes the .cursor/rules shim plus the shared reference catalog. The skill markdown files are agent-agnostic; hooks ship for Claude Code specifically.

What is the design harness?

The omd-harness skill runs a 10-phase design pipeline (Discovery → Research → IA → Wireframes → Design system → Components → Asset sourcing → Microcopy → Validation → Handoff). It dispatches sub-agents in parallel where independent, asks 3 mandatory user checkpoints, and emits a v0/Cursor-ready package. Trigger it by saying things like 'design the entire onboarding from scratch' or '/omd-harness '.

oh-my-design v1.8.8 (2026-07-02)

44 new Korean company references added (catalog 356 → 400; KR refs 149 → 193) via the full 추천→선발→수집→검수 pipeline — every ref Tier-1 brand-owned proof-gated. Milestone: catalog hits 400.

Recommend fanned 9 sector deep-research agents (64-item clean pool, deduped vs the full 356-id catalog); an LLM-synthesis drift that silently re-introduced 12 catalog-existing ids + 1 same-company alias was caught at curation and hard-re-deduped against on-disk references/. User excluded 6 母-brand sub-products (tosspayments/kakaopaysec/kakaowebtoon/brunch/kakaowork/watchapedia) + tistory. Build ran one CREATE subagent per brand in demand-driven waves of 5, stopping at 44 green.
urbanbase dropped as INFEASIBLE (brand defunct — domain now a GoDaddy parking lander; agent correctly refused to fabricate). peoplefund captured through its 크플(Cple) rebrand redirect.
All 44 pass verify-reference 27/27 + catalog-integrity (16 files / 638 tests). KR proof gate met for every ref (≥2 brand-owned Tier-1 sources + ## Proof block). Tier 2 (getdesign / refero) empty for all 44, as spec/regional-sources.yaml anticipates.
