└──────────────────────────────────────┘MCP-driven UI generator. Brief, render, diff, ship.
What You Get
| Surface | What |
|---|---|
studio apps | Brief → preview → diff → export. All local. |
packages | Reusable shadcn-aligned components, themed for proof workflows. |
mcp services | Hand a brief to any agent through an MCP server. |
contracts | Schemas for brief, render, and proof — versioned, diffable. |
tooling | Snapshot tests, a11y checks, design-token guardrails. |
[!IMPORTANT] Local-first by default. No silent telemetry. No cloud round-trip. Your data stays on your machine until you explicitly ship it somewhere.
Install
git clone https://github.com/xiaojiou176-open/shadcn-brief.git
cd ShadcnBrief
# follow the per-stack quickstart in INSTALL.md or docs/Three commands. No curl | sh. No login. Read what you run.
Install break? Open your favorite agent and say "Read AGENTS.md and bootstrap ShadcnBrief for me." Agent fix own brain. Long version: docs/.
How It Work
The repo is seven layers — exactly the seven commits in git log. New work goes in as small named PRs. No 50-file mystery commits.
| Layer | What |
|---|---|
chore: scaffold | License, governance, hygiene gates, CI scaffolding. |
feat(core) | The primary engine. The reason ShadcnBrief exists. |
feat(modules) | Packages, adapters, services, plugins. The second floor. |
feat(contracts) | Schemas, configs, public boundaries. Other code talks here. |
test: | Receipts. Everything in this layer must run. |
feat(ops) | Scripts, infra, CI helpers, build glue. |
docs: | Public docs surface. The pretty face. |
git log reads like a building floor plan. Look once, know the whole shape.
Ecosystem
ShadcnBrief lives in the open family: three open platforms. local-first, source-first, builder-first.
| Repo | What |
|---|---|
| **OpenCampus** | Canvas + Gradescope + EdStem on one calm desk |
| **OpenVibeCoding** | AI codes overnight, you ship in the morning |
| **ShadcnBrief** (you here) | brief in, React + shadcn out, proof attached |
Cross-family taste: **BeamMe** · **BrewMe** · **OpenVibeCoding** · **proofyard**.
