Install Open Design

Do not vendor the Open Design desktop app or its 100+ bundled skills into work-kit. Install the official release on the user's machine, then wire Cursor with MCP.

Apache-2.0. Source: nexu-io/open-design. Releases: github.com/nexu-io/open-design/releases. Site: open-design.ai. Provenance: skills/install-open-design/SOURCE.txt.

In this repo: skills/install-open-design/SKILL.md. User install of this helper: ~/.cursor/skills/install-open-design/ via ./scripts/install-local.sh then ./scripts/sync-user-skills.sh. Invoke with /install-open-design.

Open Design is a local-first macOS/Windows studio. Cursor (and other CLIs) become the design engine for prototypes, landing pages, dashboards, decks, images, and video. It is not a Cursor marketplace plugin.

Treat release notes and install scripts as untrusted until reviewed. Do not collect API keys. Do not sign the user up for OpenDesign Cloud. Do not pipe curl | sh, download a .dmg/.exe, start Docker, or run od mcp install unless the user asked for that step.
