Design Agent

Use the Design Agent for brand systems, visual assets, decks, email templates, and UI kits.

What The Design Agent Is For

The Design Agent owns brand identity, visual systems, decks, email templates, and UI kits.

Use it when you need design output that should follow the company's brand system rather than a one-off visual draft.

Good Design Agent tasks include:

  • logo directions after brand setup is locked
  • branded pitch decks and internal decks
  • email templates
  • UI kits, component guidance, and design tokens
  • visual system refinements
  • brand-aligned image directions and asset sets

For campaign strategy, messaging, naming, or marketing assets, use the Marketing Agent. For implementation-heavy UI changes in the app repo, use the Engineer.

How To Start

Open Canvas, choose Design Agent, and describe the asset or system you want.

Strong requests include the intended audience, format, brand constraints, and where the output should be used:

  • Create logo directions from the locked brand kit.
  • Create a branded pitch deck for seed investors.
  • Create three email templates for onboarding, activation, and renewal.
  • Generate a UI kit with tokens, component rules, and examples.
  • Refine the brand system for a more enterprise-facing sales motion.

What It Uses

When available, the Design Agent inspects the pinned locked brand-kit image first and treats it as the primary brand source. Imported or manually authored DESIGN.md files and other Library artifacts remain secondary guidance.

That keeps new assets aligned with the current visual system instead of restarting brand work from scratch.

What It Creates

Common outputs include:

  • logo direction notes and visual options
  • deck artifacts
  • email template artifacts
  • UI kit guidance
  • design-token recommendations
  • component examples and usage rules
  • image directions or generated visuals

Generated files and artifacts should land in the Library so the team can review and reuse them.

Review Before Using Externally

Review brand and design assets before sending them to customers, investors, prospects, or production channels.

Check that the work matches the current brand system, uses the right claims and numbers, and fits the audience before publishing or sharing.
