Design the outcome.
Not the workspace.
Toolcraft gives AI an application architecture, not just components. It includes a working canvas, toolbar, layer system, timeline, and keyframe workflows, plus embedded AI skills, performance instructions, and visual testing rules to improve the quality and consistency of generated creative apps.
Works with Codex, Claude,
Cursor or any other AI agent.
Components for every creative workflow.
From sliders and panels to timelines, layers, and toolbars, everything you need to shape visual tools is already in place.
