Getting started
You need Node.js 18+ installed. That's it.
Run the CLI
npx typeui.sh generate
This walks you through a series of prompts about your design system — colors, fonts, spacing, components — and writes a SKILL.md file to your project. Your AI coding agents read that file and follow your design.
Want a ready-made design instead? Pull one from the registry:
npx typeui.sh pull paper
