The software box.

Every screen in this language answers one question — “Is it exactly period-correct?”

What's inside

The full bible for the software box — 12 sections, authored end to end: color, typography, the signatures, components, motion, and voice.

✓12 chapters, from identity through the language on the web
✓A runnable starter codebase — ported, and green on its gate
✓Two screens rebuilt blind from the bible alone — both passed — see the receipts
✓A living volume — currently edition v1.2.0 (2026-07-18), and every future edition is included

Receipts

No bible ships on our word. A blind agent rebuilt each screen from the bible alone and had to pass. Every gate is published.

The first screen

You should be looking at your first lawful screen within fifteen minutes of checkout. Not a hope — a procedure. Put the bible in a folder, open your coding agent, and paste this:

your first commission · paste to your agent

Read ONLY the file BIBLE.md in this folder — no other reference, no other file.

Build one screen: the setup wizard for a little to-do app.

Where my asks conflict with the bible, the bible wins — and handle the conflict the way the bible's own voice would.

Already shipped something? The bible restyles as readily as it builds — open your agent in your own repo, drop BIBLE.md at the root, and paste this instead:

the restyle commission · for a product that already exists

Read ONLY the file BIBLE.md at the root of this repo — no other reference.

Restyle one existing screen of this product to the bible's law — tokens, type, components, motion, voice.

Where my current styles conflict with the bible, the bible wins — and handle the conflict the way the bible's own voice would.

The first screen pledge

Run the commission above. If your first screen doesn't come out lawful — if it breaks the bible's own printed rules — reply to the download email (or write howdy@designbible.ai) within 30 days. Full refund. You keep the bible.

Tested with Claude Code: every gate on the receipts wall was passed by Claude agents building blind, from the bible alone. The bible is plain text and stack-agnostic — the starter is Next.js, and the same law carries to Tailwind, Vite, or whatever you already run. The pledge covers whichever agent you use.

$69one-time · the starter + every future edition

The download is one .zip — BIBLE.md (the complete spec), reference.html (the language, rendered — open it in a browser), and starter/ (a runnable Next.js app already speaking it). Emailed link, no account. Secure checkout by Stripe, in USD.
