What is Tinte?

Tinte reads a live site, compiles its design system into an Agent Plugin, and fails the build on any colour that bypasses the tokens. Agents read your tokens as an API and your composition rules as instructions, and the same identity becomes a theme for your editor and terminal.

Pros: what Tinte does well

  • Keeps AI-written UI on brand
  • Fails builds on off-token colours
  • Works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor

Cons: where it falls short

  • Needs a design system or live site to read
  • Young project

Who Tinte is for

Teams who want coding agents to follow their design tokens.

Who can skip it

People without a defined design system.
