design lays out pages: pages and spreads, frames, text stories, paragraph styles, swatches and tables, all on one canvas. It is still in Preview, so expect it to change.

Under construction

  • frame.createCreate a frame
  • object.fillFill an object

Use with your AI

Kition ships an MCP server for its kits. Run it over stdio against a folder, without the app open, and your agent gets tools like design_inspect, design_run and design_check for every kit.

Questions

Is Kition design free?

Yes. Kition is open source under Apache-2.0 and the software is free. There are no personal subscriptions, memberships or ads; you only pay for AI compute if you choose hosted AI.

Can my AI agent use Kition design?

Yes. Every Kition kit speaks the Kit Harness Protocol (KHP), so an agent can open a file, run commands such as frame.create, object.fill, and save the result. MCP connects AI to tools; KHP lets AI operate professional software.

Which files does Kition design work with?

Kition design saves .kdesign.

Is Kition design finished?

Not yet. Kition design is in Preview: it works, but it is still being built and may change.
