Documentation · Glyphfield Docs

Glyphfield is a local-first, open-source brand studio. It keeps identity foundations, design applications, live materials, motion, source documents, exports, and agent operations connected instead of treating each output as a separate file.

One identity feeds every visual and programmatic surfaceLocal-first brand system

What is connected

01Identity foundations

Strategy, art direction, logos, authorized assets, colors, typography, language, voice, applications, and defaults.

02Visual editors

Brand elements, moodboards, a complete brand book, Design Lab, Animation, Lottie, templates, tokens, type, and components.

03Portable documents

Exact source drawers, a versioned canvas scene graph, saved designs, autosave recovery, layer history, and export preflight.

04Agent interfaces

Versioned discovery, deterministic HTTP generation, processed markdown, full-text docs, and browser-native automation.

Human and agent parity

The visual UI and agent surfaces share the same owners:

/api/agent, /api/catalog, /api/labs, /api/materials, /api/identities, and /api/elements publish current capabilities.
POST /api/generate validates deterministic template, background, element-brief, and Design Lab sequence requests.
window.glyphfield.studio operates the active browser tool, including local files, exact source, Canvas, WebGL, GIF, and MP4.
Every documentation page is available as processed markdown by adding .md to its URL.
/llms.txt is the compact agent router; /llms-full.txt is the complete generated documentation corpus.

Agents should discover first, choose an interface deliberately, apply the smallest source change, visually verify browser-rendered work, and treat a non-empty returned or downloaded artifact as completion.

Local-first by default

Browser projects, saved designs, uploaded files, fonts, and drafts remain in the current browser profile. Stateless generation requests are processed in memory and do not silently read or mutate a browser-local project. Remote asset URLs are intentionally unsupported.

Operate and extend

PreserveBack up editable work

Keep identity and tool source, original authorized assets, and rendered proofs outside the browser.

RecoverDiagnose by boundary

Separate source, storage, Canvas, WebGL, codec, and download failures without clearing the active project.

DeployHost the complete system

Serve the dynamic docs, discovery, generation, OpenGraph, and Studio routes with browser capabilities intact.

ContributeKeep every interface aligned

Update catalog, state, source, Browser API, HTTP, docs, exports, and tests as one parity chain.
