Toolcraft is a TypeScript starter kit and UI library for building AI-assisted design apps. It provides a React app scaffold with a canvas, controls, and export/workflow features, accessible via a CLI and npm scripts.
What it is
Toolcraft is an open-source starter kit and UI library for building custom design apps with AI. It includes a React and TypeScript starter app, a canvas with upload, pan, zoom, radar, and history support, and built-in controls for common creative-tool settings. It supports optional layers, animation timelines, keyframes, image and video export workflows, and local instructions for AI coding agents. The repository contains runtime and UI source inside generated projects to allow inspection and modification.
How it works
The project uses a CLI to generate a new tool project: npx @pixel-point/toolcraft create. After creating, you open the folder for your agent, describe the tool you want to build, and run the app locally with npm run dev. The runtime and UI components live under src/toolcraft/runtime and src/toolcraft/ui, with docs for AI agents under docs/toolcraft.
