## What it is
SuperDesign is an open-source AI design agent that lives inside your IDE (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code) and generates UI mockups, components, and wireframes from natural language prompts. This repository holds the original IDE extension, which is no longer actively maintained as the product has moved to a web app.

## Use cases
- generate ui mockups from a text prompt
- design wireframes inside my ide
- create reusable ui components with ai
- explore multiple design variations in parallel
- clone a website ui design
- turn design prompts into cursor or claude code implementation

## When to choose
- you want an open-source AI design agent inside VS Code, Cursor, or Windsurf
- you want to generate and fork multiple UI mockups and wireframes from prompts
- you want to hand off design prompts directly to coding agents

## When to avoid
- you want the actively maintained product - use the Superdesign web app or superdesign-skill instead
- you need a full design tool like Figma with manual editing
- you don't use an AI-powered editor or coding agent
