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.
