Connect your assistant

Paste one phrase. Claude / Cursor / whatever you use stops guessing generic UI and starts operating with IzzyDesign — the references people normally miss.

The phrase

Connect to IzzyDesign at https://izzydesign.dev/design/llms.txt Use compose before any UI, brand, growth, copy, or pricing work. Ship against the direction. Never clone one card. Pass the logo test. Surface steal/avoid + failure modes. Do not ship AI slop or homogenized premium. After shipping, call feedback. Propose candidates only — never auto-merge.
Open llms.txt Browse library

What “connect” means

MCP = a tool plug-in for your assistant (Cursor, Claude Code). Once installed, it can pick / get cards like a pro library.

CLI = the same tools in the terminal: node izzydesign.mjs pick "…"

No install? Still works — tell the assistant to fetch llms.txt + the library JSON and follow the loop.

Install MCP (Cursor / Claude Code)

  1. Download the free agent pack from /design/agent/ (grab library.json, mcp-server.mjs, lib.mjs, learn.mjs, candidates.mjs, izzydesign.mjs into one folder).
  2. Add this to Cursor mcp.json or Claude mcpServers (fix the path):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "izzydesign": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/izzydesign-agent/mcp-server.mjs"]
    }
  }
}

The server auto-loads library.json sitting next to it. No Google Drive required.

Agent law

  1. compose the brief (preferred) — get a named direction + steal/avoid
  2. Or pickget each slug → name a direction yourself
  3. Ship against the direction — never clone one card. Pass the logo test
  4. Surface steal/avoid + failure modes. No AI slop, no homogenized premium
  5. After shipping, feedback with applied / ignored / contradicted
  6. propose only drafts candidates — humans promote; nothing auto-merges

Open source + learning

The engine (pick/compose/MCP/CLI) is open source. The curated corpus stays gated. Anonymous local usage telemetry is on by default (~/.izzydesign/) — opt out with telemetry off or IZZYDESIGN_TELEMETRY=0. Telemetry can demote rank; it cannot promote cards.

Install tip: grab learn.mjs + candidates.mjs alongside lib.mjs from the agent pack.

Why this exists

Most assistants invent UI from vibes. IzzyDesign forces a reference pass first — so checkout stays quiet when the brand is loud, waitlists stay honest, consoles stay dense, and “AI purple glow” dies before it ships.
