Superdesign helps agents find design inspirations and styles, then generate and iterate design drafts on an infinite canvas. It runs through its own CLI and covers repo analysis (building .superdesign/init/ context), brand-new page design, design-system seeding, improvement requests, graphic assets (posters, covers, social creatives), and design from a live website via extract-website.

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

Limitations / Verification¶

Socket Warn and Snyk Fail on the skill page - review flagged dependencies before production use
Faithful pixel-recreation and editable on-canvas clones require the Superdesign app (superdesign.dev), not the CLI
Install count verified on skill page: 8.0K

npx skills add superdesigndev/superdesign-skill   # verify install works
