Skisso

A Chrome extension where you stop describing design fixes to your agent in words and make them with the mouse right on the page. The agent gets a short list: which element, which property, what it was and what it is now. Free, no account.

We have not run it ourselves: described from the docs and the repository.

What it is

Anyone who has built a site with Claude Code or Cursor knows the loop: the buttons look cramped, so you write a paragraph about "a bit more breathing room between the buttons on the right". The agent guesses, gets the wrong element or the wrong amount, and you go round again. Skisso removes the step of turning a picture into words: you select an element on the live page, nudge the spacing, change the colour, font or text until it looks right, and copy the changes with one key. The agent receives the element's address and "before → after" pairs in real CSS, and it still edits the project files itself.

What sets it apart from Spline and the other design tools in this catalogue is that it draws nothing from scratch: it works on top of an interface that already exists, on localhost, staging or a live site. It is a bridge between the browser, where you see the result, and the terminal, where the agent works. Through a local MCP server the agent reads your selection directly, and the extension panel lets you talk to the agent from the page or turn your edits into a GitHub issue.

How it works

Ctrl+Shift+1
Opens the inspector on any page. Hover, click, and change sizes, spacing, colours, fonts, text and the hover state; Shift-click holds several elements at once.
Tokens
The Library and Tokens tabs find CSS variables and font and colour presets on the page, so an edit follows the project's tokens instead of a random value.
patch
Enter copies only the changes: the element's selector, each property with its old and new value, and optionally your note and a screenshot.
npx -y skisso
A local bridge in the project folder plus an MCP server: claude mcp add --scope user skisso -- npx -y skisso mcp. For Cursor, Windsurf, Cline and Claude Desktop the same server goes into the MCP config.
Chat | Issue
The panel has a chat with your agent: it sees the selection, previews CSS on the page and changes files only with your permission. Issue mode turns your edits into a GitHub issue.

Know before installing

It is a single-author alpha with no public repository, and the bridge's npm package ships under a closed licence.
Skisso finds tokens and presets from the page, not from the project's source. The authors themselves say this is not a full design system.
Chrome only. The chat and MCP need the bridge running and an installed agent with its own subscription.
