Feed it your design systems · get back critique, gaps, and sharper decisions
The Design Forge is a self-contained, browser-based design critique and research studio delivered as a single HTML file. It organises design thinking around a central source library: upload documents, chunk them automatically, then explore them through seven interconnected tools. Sources holds your raw material — design system docs, brand briefs, user research transcripts, audit reports. Deep Dive generates structured analysis of any document. Lenses applies design frameworks (visual, usability, accessibility, brand) across your entire corpus. Synthesize finds connections between documents you hadn't seen. Notes is a scratchpad linked to your sources. History tracks every AI interaction for review. Settings configures your LLM provider. Your design systems, research findings, and client briefs never leave your machine.
Full documentation with detailed instructions for every tool.
The file works in any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Save it to a USB drive, email it to yourself, or keep it in your cloud storage. It will work anywhere, anytime, forever.
