Overview
Made Good Designs gives Claude direct, read-only access to a curated design-inspiration library, so it can pull real references instead of describing a style from memory. What you can search: • 40,000+ typography, branding, logo, editorial, poster and lettering references, each with tags, a colour palette and its source • 4,000+ vintage corporate annual-report covers from the 1950s to the 1980s, with company, year, designer and industry • Nearly 1,000 public-domain (CC0) museum artworks chosen for designers, from The Met, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Rijksmuseum and others • 26 curated themes, from Swiss and Bauhaus-adjacent modernism to Art Nouveau, Y2K and brutalist Try asking: "Find Swiss-style poster references with a red and black palette", "Show me 1970s annual-report covers from transit authorities", or "Public-domain Art Nouveau lettering I can use in a moodboard". Every result links back to its Made Good Designs page so you can cite it. No account, no API key, free to use.
Tools
count_characters
ClaudeCount characters (with and without spaces, emoji and accents counted as one), words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, bytes, reading and speaking time with Made Good Designs' Character Counter, and check the text against platform limits: X/Twitter weighted length (links 23, CJK/emoji 2), SMS segments (GSM-7 vs UCS-2), meta title/description, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and more.
diff_text
ClaudeCompare two texts with Made Good Designs' Diff Checker (Myers diff): returns change statistics (added, removed, changed, unchanged lines, similarity) and a unified diff patch that applies with
patch/git apply. Options ignore case, whitespace or blank lines.generate_color_combinations
ClaudeGenerate two- or three-colour combinations with Made Good Designs' Color Combination Generator: named colours with HEX/RGB/HSL, the colour harmony, WCAG contrast for every pair (each combination includes at least one pair at 4.5:1 or better) and the best text/background pairing. Can start from a base colour.
generate_design_md
ClaudeGenerate a DESIGN.md file with Made Good Designs' DESIGN.md Generator: a Markdown design-system brief for AI coding agents and developers. It contains rules for agents, personality and voice, colour tokens with measured WCAG contrast tables (light and optional dark theme), a type scale in px and rem, spacing, radius, border and shadow tokens, motion durations and easing, component behaviour, an accessibility checklist, do/don't rules and all tokens as CSS. Pass colours, a brand colour, or neither (an accessible palette is generated). Returns the Markdown plus a link to edit it in the visual tool.
generate_logo_concepts
ClaudeGenerate original logo concepts as SVG with Made Good Designs' Logo Maker: brand name (+ optional tagline) set in open-licence Google Fonts with icons (Lucide, ISC), monograms or abstract marks, in layouts such as side-by-side, stacked, wordmark, badge and emblem, with colour palettes. Fonts load via a Google Fonts @import; the linked tool exports outlined SVG, transparent PNG and a free brand kit.
generate_upc_barcode
ClaudeCreate a scannable UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13 or ISBN barcode with Made Good Designs' UPC Generator: validates or calculates the check digit, converts UPC-A⇄UPC-E and ISBN-10→ISBN-13, supports 2/5-digit add-ons, and returns a vector SVG at GS1 dimensions. Real retail product codes must be licensed from GS1.
generate_website_color_palette
ClaudeGenerate an accessible website colour palette with Made Good Designs' Website Color Palette Generator: eight colour roles (background, surface, border, text, muted, primary, on-primary, accent) for a light theme and a matching dark theme, built in OKLCH and adjusted until every pairing meets WCAG AA contrast (text 4.5:1, primary 3:1, button label 4.5:1, accent 3:1; 7:1 text in the 'contrast' style). Returns both themes, the measured contrast ratios, CSS variables and a link that opens the palette in the visual tool. Each call without brand_color returns a new palette.
get_share_feedback
ClaudeFetch reviewer feedback for a page shared with Made Good Designs' HTML to Link tool (MGD Share). Returns FEEDBACK.md: every note reviewers pinned to an element, with CSS selector, element text, screen size, browser and open/resolved status.
