OpenAI design.md

A white page that asks one question, then lets the pictures talk

An editorial, almost colorless site: pure white canvas, pure black type in one medium weight, black pill buttons and hairline-outlined chips. The hero is just a question and a chat box; all the color comes from square artwork tiles (soft blue, orange, purple gradients and photos) in the news grids below.

What “Use in my project” copies

Download https://faundr.dev/resources/design-md/openai/DESIGN.md and save it as design.md at the project root. It's a design guide inspired by OpenAI, measured from their site: follow its colors, fonts, corners and components on every screen you create or change. Where it calls for a paid font, use the free alternative the file names.

A design.md only works if someone checks it.

Faundr reads your design.md and checks every screen your AI touches: colors off the guide, rebuilt components, clipped menus, broken mobile.
