Maude, how it works mostly

Vibe-design & vibe-code workflows for Claude Code. Two plugins, one CLI, some vibes. No telemetry, no signup.

Two plugins, one CLI, and the .ai/ workspace they both pretend not to need. You're probably here for design or flow. maude is the plumbing. Cmd-K skips ahead.

design. Canvas-first iteration on .tsx canvases under .design/. A Bun dev server tracks the active tab + your selection over WebSocket, so Cmd+Click any element and Claude knows which element the feedback is about. An optional self-hostable hub mirrors .design/ across collaborators.
flow. The agentic loop that ships things eventually. Second-brain .ai/ workspace, project-agnostic via per-repo workflows.config.json. Same plugin runs in Next.js, Expo, Go, anything.
maude (legacy alias: mdcc). Small CLI. Scaffolds the .ai/ workspace, reads and writes config, boots the design dev server, runs health diagnostics (doctor), manages the sidecar cache, and hosts the optional sync hub.

Open-source. MIT. No telemetry, no signup, no book a demo button. If it crashes, git pull and try again. That's the entire support contract.

maude at a glance — Claude Code, the two plugins, the CLI, and the .ai/ + .design/ workspaces

Pick a direction

Getting Started

Four steps and you're in. (Maybe five. Depends on your shell.)

`maude` CLI

Subcommands: init, config, doctor, cache, design, hub.

Design canvas loop

`/design:new`, `/design:edit`, `/design:critic`, and the rest of the canvas loop.

Flow lifecycle

The 30 slash commands behind plan, execute, done, validate, release.

Config reference

Every key in `.ai/workflows.config.json` with examples.

Recipes

Drop-in setups for Next.js, Expo, and pnpm monorepos.

Self-host the hub

Optional Yjs sync hub — mirror `.design/` across collaborators. You run it; there's no SaaS tier.

The two plugins share a worldview. Claude Code is the IDE. The repo is the source of truth. Decisions get written to .ai/decisions/. Plans get archived to .ai/plans/archive/. Design mocks live in .design/ next to the production code they precede. Nothing lives only in a chat scroll.

Install one, install both. They're independent.
