What does the Identity Forge branding pipeline cover?

It connects name and domain exploration, design kit selection or creation, Studio refinement, previews, and agent-ready exports. You can start at any stage and carry the same brand system into the next one.

What is a design kit?

A design kit is a curated system of semantic color tokens, font pairings, spacing rules, and component conventions. It is packaged as a set of exports (DESIGN.md, CSS variables, shadcn registry JSON, Tailwind config) that coding agents and developers can apply directly to a project.

How does a coding agent use a kit?

You give the agent your DESIGN.md file (or the API endpoint) at the start of a session. The agent reads the token names, font roles, and usage rules, then applies them across the components it builds without needing you to re-explain the system.

Which AI coding tools work with Identity Forge kits?

Any tool that can read a file or call an API: Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Windsurf, Copilot Chat, and others. DESIGN.md is plain markdown that any LLM can read.

What export formats are available?

Six formats: DESIGN.md (agent prompt surface), CSS custom properties (shadcn-compatible HSL variables), DTCG tokens JSON (W3C standard), Tailwind v3 config, Tailwind v4 theme, and shadcn registry JSON for direct install.

What does a shadcn registry install look like?

Run `npx shadcn add https://identityforge.io/r/{kit-slug}.json` to apply the kit's CSS variables directly to your project. The registry endpoint is always available at /r/{slug}.json.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. The free tier includes a selection of starter kits, all export formats, and the public API with rate limiting. Pro and Lifetime plans unlock the full kit catalogue, higher API limits, and unlimited exports.

What are agent rules in a DESIGN.md?

Each kit includes 4-6 plain-English rules written specifically for coding agents. For example: 'Use mono type for IDs, commands, logs, and endpoints' or 'Reserve accent color for success and active states.' These prevent the most common agent-specific design mistakes.

Can I use the naming and domain tools too?

Yes. Identity Forge includes AI-powered naming plus DNS, registration, URL, and search evidence. These signals are not purchase proof, so visit the URL and confirm with a registrar before choosing the domain. The selected name and domain can flow into DESIGN.md.

Before / after

Same screen. One of them had a design kit.

Same markup, same content, same data. On the left, nothing was decided: browser typefaces, the framework blue, hairline boxes on a white page, and one pill-shaped tag that arrived with a copied component. On the right, every one of those decisions has been made once and written down, down to the easing the chart draws itself in with. That file is what your agent reads.

Apply a kit to your product

Every kit ships the tokens, type, and component rules your agent can read.

One pipeline from brand direction to product

The choices you make at the start stay connected to the system your agent builds from.

Explore

Start with a brief, then explore names, domains, and visual directions

Choose or create

Start with a curated design kit or build a system around your own direction

Preview

See the kit on realistic UI surfaces before asking an agent to build with it

Refine

Adjust the system in Studio and bring your brand context into the same project

Build

Install or export the finished system for the AI tools building your product

One prompt. One shot.

See what agents build from a design kit

Every screen below was built by Claude Opus 4.8 from a single Identity Forge kit using its DESIGN.md and design tokens. The first four use the same Northwind brief, so the visual difference comes from the kit. Scroll any card or open the live page.

Each bright square marks a day with a live product update.

Where brand decisions get lost

The problem is rarely one bad color. It is the loss of decisions between each stage.

A look, but no system

You find a direction you like, but it never becomes the typography, tokens, component rules, and examples your agent needs.

Every session starts over

You paste the same fonts, colors, and usage notes into each new session. Small decisions change and the product slowly loses its shape.

The handoff breaks

Names, domains, visual references, design tokens, and implementation live in separate tools. Context disappears between them.

Keep the brand decisions in one system.

Identity Forge turns the choices you make into a design kit that Studio, exports, and coding agents can all use.

Names, kits, Studio, and exports stay connected

Explore the direction, shape the system, and hand it to the tools building the product without reconstructing it between steps.

Find a name you can build on

Explore names and check domain evidence without separating the decision from the rest of the brand.

Choose a complete visual direction

Start with a curated kit that already connects typography, color roles, layout, components, and agent rules.

Make the system your own

Refine the kit in Studio while keeping the system connected across every preview and export.

Build from a reference you already like

Extract a starting direction from an image or website, then refine it as a full design kit.

Carry every decision into code

Generate DESIGN.md, shadcn variables, Tailwind config, DTCG tokens, and registry JSON from one source.

Use the brand across your stack

Bring the same kits into coding agents and web builders through the CLI, MCP, API, and registry.

Export to your AI stack

Use the same design kit in every AI tool

Export the same design decisions in the formats your coding agents and web builders already use.
