Designless Agent

Designless agent — encode your brand's design judgment into an agent that builds with your intent.

Install

Plugin (recommended)

Install the Designless plugin in Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add designlesshq/designless-agent
claude plugin install designless@designless-plugins

Then reload plugins and start using:

claude /reload-plugins
claude /designless

MCP server

Add the expression infrastructure runtime directly to any MCP-compatible agent:

claude mcp add --transport http less-mcp https://mcp.designless.app/mcp

This gives your agent access to LESS MCP tools — it will use them when you reference your brand, ask about design tokens, or request brand-consistent output. No /designless commands, but the runtime capabilities are available. Authentication is handled via OAuth on first use.

Skills (any coding agent)

Install via skills.sh to use the Designless orchestrator in any supported coding agent — Cursor, Cline, Codex, Amp, Windsurf, and 40+ others:

npx skills add designlesshq/designless-agent

The installer will:

1. Clone the repo and detect the designless-orchestrator skill
2. Ask which agents to install to (Cursor, Cline, Codex, etc.)
3. Choose scope — Project (current directory) or Global (all projects)
4. Copy the skill into each agent's .agents/skills/ directory

After install, the orchestrator is available in your chosen agents. It connects to the expression infrastructure at mcp.designless.app/mcp — authentication is handled via OAuth on first use.

One command, every flow

/designless

That's it. There's no /designless:create, /designless:audit, or any other sub-command — the orchestrator detects your intent from what you say and routes to the right capability at runtime. You describe what you want; it figures out whether to create a brand, extend it, adopt an external system, build a page, audit quality, prove provenance, generate a carousel or poster, or surface ecosystem state.

Quick Start

> /designless
> I want a fintech brand — trustworthy, modern, clean.

The agent creates a complete brand expression system from your description — 300+ resolved tokens across 12 categories, coherence scores, and an expression brief ready for building. Every token carries decision provenance: not just a value, but the reasoning behind it.

How It Works

1. /designless detects your context (brand inventory, capsule state, assets provided)
2. Classifies your intent into one of 12 lifecycle modes
3. Discovers and sequences the right capabilities at runtime
4. Returns quality-gated results with coherence metrics

The agent discovers capabilities from the expression infrastructure server at runtime — it doesn't hardcode tool names. This means the agent's capabilities grow as the server evolves.

Troubleshooting

"Not authenticated" — Run /designless connect and complete the OAuth flow in your browser.

"No brands found" — Run /designless and ask for a new brand to get started.

"Capsule not published" — Run /designless and ask to publish; the agent walks you through the quality gate.
