Describe what you need. Get a multi-page prototype where every page shares the same components, colors, and layout — automatically.
The problem
Generate a page — looks great. Generate another — different header. Third page — different buttons. Fourth — spacing is off. You spend more time fixing inconsistencies than building.
The killer feature
As you add pages, Coherent builds your design system in the background — component library, design tokens, accessibility recommendations. Visit /design-system to see it live.
How it works
Meet Alex. She's building a SaaS prototype for her startup.
Alex opens terminal and runs:
30 seconds later: a Next.js project with a design system, component library, and documentation — ready to customize.
She describes what she needs:
Coherent generates a complete dashboard page. Real components. Real data. Not a wireframe.
She adds more pages:
Every new page automatically reuses the same Header, Footer, and design tokens from the dashboard. No copy-paste. No drift.
She opens it in the browser:
Hot reload. She can also open the project in Cursor and describe changes there — changes appear instantly either way.
She tweaks the design:
One command. All pages update. The design system viewer at /design-system shows every component, token, and recommendation.
She ships it:
Clean Next.js project. No platform code. Deploy to Vercel in one click.
Two ways to build
Run commands in your terminal. Each command goes through the full pipeline: AI generation → component reuse → validation → auto-fix.
Describe changes in your editor's chat. Coherent provides context via .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md — your AI knows about shared components, design tokens, and quality rules.
Example prompts
Different tools, shared foundation. CLI runs the full pipeline — generation, component reuse, validation, auto-fix. Editor chat gives you speed with AI-powered design system context. Use anytime to check consistency.
What makes it different
Built for consistency. Not one-off screens.
CID-001 is your Header. It lives in one file, used on every page. Edit it once — every page updates. No more 'which header is the right one?'
As you add pages, Coherent assembles a component library, token reference, and UX recommendations. Visit /design-system to see it live.
97 design constraints. Typography hierarchy, spacing rhythm, accessibility, color tokens — all enforced automatically. No manual review needed.
coherent export gives you a clean Next.js project. No lock-in. No platform dependencies. It's your code.
Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf — Coherent provides context to any AI editor via .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md. Your AI knows about every shared component and design token.
Getting started
That's it. Five commands. A complete multi-page prototype with shared components and a design system.
