IntentCSS

Describe the UI. Get the CSS.

What is IntentCSS?

IntentCSS is a developer-first CLI that converts natural language prompts into Tailwind CSS classes or plain CSS.

Instead of manually building utility classes, you describe the interface you want and IntentCSS generates the styling for you.

BASH
intentcss generate --prompt "large red button"

Output:

TEXT
rounded-lg bg-red-600 px-6 py-3 text-lg text-white hover:bg-red-700

Why IntentCSS?

Modern frontend development often involves repeatedly writing utility classes.

IntentCSS allows developers to focus on intent instead of implementation.

Describe:

  • Components
  • Layouts
  • Behaviors
  • Visual styles

And receive:

  • Tailwind CSS
  • Plain CSS

directly from the terminal.
