AI Agent UI Templates: The Complete Gallery Guide

Agent's Design is a gallery of agent-ready UI templates — each with a DESIGN.md spec, curated prompts, and reference layouts built for vibe coding tools. This guide walks through how to browse the gallery, pick the right template, and paste specs into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, v0, or Bolt for production-quality output.

What is Agent's Design?

Agent's Design curates UI templates specifically for AI coding agents. Unlike traditional theme marketplaces that sell HTML files or Figma kits, each template here ships with:

DESIGN.md — A text-native design spec with tokens, typography, components, motion rules, and imagery direction.
Agent prompts — Pre-written instructions tuned for vibe coding tools.
Reference layouts — Page structures the agent can study without copying verbatim.

The goal is simple: give your coding agent a design language so it stops inventing generic SaaS UI on every prompt.

Who this is for

Agent's Design templates work for:

Indie hackers shipping MVPs with Cursor or Bolt who want UI that looks designed, not generated.
Product designers who need a DESIGN.md starting point instead of writing specs from scratch.
Agencies building client projects with Claude Code or Codex and needing consistent design languages across deliverables.
Teams adopting vibe coding who want shared design constraints their agents can follow.

If you are building a production app and care about visual quality, these templates are built for your workflow.

How the gallery is organized

The gallery groups templates by design language and use case. Each entry includes:

Field	What it tells you
Name	The design language identifier
Aesthetic	Editorial, minimal, brutalist, SaaS, portfolio, etc.
Tier	Free or paid access
Tags	Industry, layout type, mood keywords
Preview	Visual thumbnail of the reference layout

Use tags to narrow down templates that match your project. Building a creative portfolio? Filter for editorial and gallery layouts. Shipping a B2B tool? Look for dashboard and SaaS tags.

Anatomy of a template

Every template in the gallery follows the same structure so agents can parse it consistently.

DESIGN.md

The core artifact. A DESIGN.md typically contains:

Design principles — Tone, density, and craft rules in plain language.
Design tokens — CSS custom properties for color, type, spacing, radii, and shadows.
Typography scale — Named sizes with line heights and letter spacing.
Primitive components — Buttons, inputs, cards, navigation with implementation notes.
Reference components — Full section layouts (hero, features, pricing) as structural examples.
Motion system — Transition durations, easing curves, what should and should not animate.
Imagery direction — Photo style, illustration guidelines, anti-patterns to avoid.

The DESIGN.md is not a build spec. It teaches the agent a design language it can apply to your content and page structure.

Prompts

Each template includes prompts formatted for common vibe coding tools. These prompts reference the DESIGN.md and tell the agent:

Which tokens to use
Which components are available
Layout constraints and responsive rules
What to avoid (generic gradients, unauthorized fonts, over-animation)

Copy the prompt into your tool's chat to start a session with design constraints already loaded.

Reference layouts

Visual previews of the template's reference pages. Use these to evaluate whether the aesthetic matches your project before committing to a spec.

Step-by-step: using a template

1. Browse and shortlist

Open the Agent's Design gallery and browse by aesthetic or tag. Pick two to three templates that match your project's mood. Do not overthink — you are choosing a design language, not a final layout.

2. Read the DESIGN.md

Open the DESIGN.md for your top pick. Scan the design principles and tokens first. Ask yourself:

Does this tone match my product?
Are the tokens compatible with my stack (Tailwind, CSS modules, etc.)?
Does the component set cover what I need (nav, hero, cards, forms, footer)?

3. Copy the spec into your repo

Add the DESIGN.md to your project root or a design/ directory. Version-control it alongside your code. This becomes the single source of truth your agent references across sessions.

4. Paste the prompt into your agent

Open Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, v0, or Bolt. Paste the template's agent prompt as your first message. Add your project-specific requirements:

Use the attached DESIGN.md as the design system. Build a [your page type] for [your product]. Replace all placeholder copy with content about [your topic].

5. Build page by page

Do not ask the agent to build the entire app at once. Start with one page or one component group:

Navigation and layout shell
Hero or primary view
Content sections
Footer and secondary pages

Review each piece against the DESIGN.md before moving on.

6. Customize tokens for your brand

Once the structure works, adjust tokens:

Swap accent colors to your brand palette
Adjust typography if your brand uses a specific font
Modify spacing density if your content needs more room

Change tokens in the DESIGN.md, then tell the agent to re-apply. One dimension at a time.

Tool-specific tips

Cursor / Claude Code: Add the DESIGN.md to your project context. Reference it by filename in prompts: "Follow tokens defined in DESIGN.md."

Codex: Paste the full DESIGN.md into the conversation or attach it as a file. Codex handles long specs well.

v0 / Bolt / Lovable: Paste the design principles and token block into your first message. These tools work best with condensed specs — pull the token and typography sections, not the entire file.

Figma + agent hybrid: Use the template as a spec reference while designing key screens in Figma. Hand both the Figma export and DESIGN.md to the agent for implementation.

Evaluating template quality

Not every template fits every project. Evaluate before committing:

Token completeness — Does it define enough tokens for your full app, or just a landing page?
Component coverage — Are form elements, data displays, and navigation included?
Responsive guidance — Does the spec address mobile behavior, or is it desktop-only?
Motion restraint — Does the motion system prevent over-animation, or encourage it?
Copy direction — Does it guide tone and content structure, or leave copy entirely to the agent?

Templates in the Agent's Design gallery are curated for agent compatibility — complete tokens, restrained motion, and explicit anti-patterns.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use one template for my entire app? Yes. A design language applies across page types. The DESIGN.md teaches principles and tokens — you define new layouts using those constraints.

Can I mix templates? Not recommended. Pick one design language per product. Mixing tokens from two templates produces inconsistent UI.

Do I need to credit Agent's Design? No attribution required. The templates are starting points for your projects.

What stack do templates target? Most templates assume React with Tailwind CSS, compatible with shadcn/ui patterns. The DESIGN.md is stack-agnostic for tokens and principles — adapt component implementations to your framework.

What to do next

Open the Agent's Design gallery
Pick a template that matches your project's aesthetic
Copy the DESIGN.md into your repo
Paste the agent prompt into your vibe coding tool
Build one page, review against the spec, iterate

The gallery exists so you spend time on your product — not on re-teaching every agent what good design looks like.
