Better Design
A design harness for AI coding agents. This plugin connects your agent to the Better Design MCP server, so the interfaces it builds use a real design system, follow design principles, and pass UI review checks.
What your agent gets
- A design system for your app. Find one that fits your product, preview it, and install its components, or generate a custom one from a description or your own site.
- Design principles. Visual design, UX flows, forms, onboarding and interface copy, plus references for React Native, SwiftUI, Three.js and Shopify themes.
- Review checks. Accessibility, copy clarity and measured spacing for the screens your agent builds.
- Icons you own. Icon sets returned as React components, with no runtime CDN.
What this repository holds
This repository holds the plugin files only: the manifests, the MCP server entry and two skills. The Better Design server and its design systems run at better-design.com. Browse the catalog at better-design.com/design-systems.
