git clone https://github.com/buildermethods/design-os.git my-project-design
cd my-project-design

Replace my-project-design with whatever you want to name your design workspace.

2Remove the Original Remote

git remote remove origin

Now you have a clean local instance ready to use.

3Install Dependencies

npm install

4Start the Dev Server

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

5Open Claude Code

In the same project directory, start Claude Code:

You’re ready to start designing. Run /product-vision to begin defining your product.

Optional: Save as Your Own Template

If you want to reuse Design OS for future projects:

1. Push to your own GitHub repository:

git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO_NAME.git
git push -u origin main

2. Go to your repository on GitHub, click Settings, and check Template repository.

Now you can create new instances using GitHub’s “Use this template” button.
