Motif.

Now open / for coding agents

Working code
is the easy part.
Good design is the rest.

Motif is a design library your coding agent can call. Guidance, tested templates and design checks for real websites and apps, delivered over MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok and any agent that speaks MCP.

Each item does one job: a principle, pattern, workflow, anti-pattern or check, with real values, a verification checklist and its sources.

WHO IT’S FOR

PEOPLE BUILDING WITH AGENTS

Ship something that doesn’t look generated.

Your agent can produce a working page in minutes. Motif hands it the decisions a designer would make: composition, type, spacing, screen states, and the details that separate a product from a template.

WHAT YOUR AGENT GETS

Specifics, not adjectives.

Instead of “make it modern”, your agent receives implementation steps with real values, the states each screen must handle, and a checklist to verify the result before you ever see it.

HOW IT WORKS

Your agent asks.
Motif answers with specifics.

Your agent does the building, with your model and your tools. Motif supplies maintained design knowledge and the checks.

  1. CONNECT

    Connect once.

    Add Motif to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok or any MCP client, then authorize in the browser. You can see and revoke every connection.

  2. ASK

    Ask in plain language.

    Describe what you are making. Your agent searches by product type and platform, then retrieves a pack: brief, design tokens, layout contract, required states and an acceptance checklist.

  3. BUILD & VERIFY

    Build, then check.

    Your agent builds, then runs Motif’s checks for contrast, screen states, touch targets and hard-fail patterns, and fixes what they find before you ship.

THE PROOF, LIVE

See what an agent
builds with Motif.

Ferrow is a fictional photography studio. An agent built its website and its iOS and Android client app by following Motif’s guidance. Both run live below. Scroll them, open a photo, try a booking.

Ferrow website

Six pages: home, a filterable work index with a keyboard lightbox, the Fog Season print series, sessions and pricing, a booking enquiry that says plainly it is a demo, and an about page with photo credits.

Ferrow client app

The same studio as an app for its clients: wedding and portfolio galleries, a full-screen viewer with camera details, a print shortlist you can edit with Undo, booking with availability, and light and dark themes. Each platform uses its own navigation and controls.

These builds run in the browser. The downloadable packs are being ported to React and TypeScript (website) and Expo (app), and each pack will list exactly what was tested, on which devices. Photographs are CC0 via StockSnap. Ferrow, its people and its prices are fictional. Four more examples (a dentist, a bakery, a freelancer-finance app and a sport eyewear store) are live on motif.asv-labs.com.
