9 tools. One design workflow.

Returns every site slug currently stored in Alcheon, with optional filtering by category. Use this to discover what's available before calling recommend_sites or synthesize_brief.

// List all sites
list_sites()

Searches the data store by design attributes rather than by project intent. Use when you need sites with a particular visual property (dark theme, Inter font, glassmorphism) rather than AI-curated recommendations.

// Free-text search
search_sites({ query: "dark developer-focused" })

// Structured filters
search_sites({
  industry: "SaaS",
  colorTone: "dark",
  hasGradients: true,
  font: "Inter"
})

The primary starting point for a design workflow. Describe what you're building and Alcheon selects the 3–5 most relevant reference sites, with rationale for each pick. Avoids recently used combinations automatically.

// Standard recommendation
recommend_sites({
  intent: "A dark SaaS dashboard for developer monitoring.
           Target: backend engineers. Dense, data-rich.",
  count: 4
})

// Contrast mode — get opposing sites
recommend_sites({
  intent: "A wellness habit tracker for mindful living",
  contrast: true
})

Returns the complete extracted design profile for one site: color palette, typography, spacing, motion, section architecture, component patterns, hover philosophy, and more. Use when you want to understand a specific reference before deciding whether to include it in synthesis.

get_site_overview({ slug: "linear_app" })

Returns an ordered section blueprint based on patterns across all scraped sites (no AI synthesis). Use this to understand common section order and composition for landing, pricing, about, docs, dashboard, or blog pages.

get_layout_blueprint({
  pageType: "pricing",
  sectionCount: 7
})

Searches across all scraped sites for examples of a given component (cards, modals, nav patterns, pricing tables, etc.) and returns the sites that implement it most distinctively, with notes on their approach.

get_component_examples({
  component: "pricing table",
  maxResults: 3
})

The primary generation tool. Pass 1–10 site slugs and a project intent; Alcheon produces a compact directive-format brief (PALETTE / FONTS / SECTIONS / HERO / TYPOGRAPHY / SPACING / COMPONENTS / MOTION / ICONS / AVOID / NOTES) plus a ready-to-paste CSS :root {} token set. A repetition guard prevents reusing the same site combinations — if triggered, it suggests alternatives.

// Standard synthesis
synthesize_brief({
  sites: ["stripe_com", "linear_app", "vercel_com"],
  intent: "A dark monitoring dashboard for DevOps teams.",
  emphasize: ["code_blocks", "dark_sections"],
  avoid: ["stats_section"]
})

// Contrast mode (from recommend_sites contrast output)
synthesize_brief({
  sites: ["zara_com", "ugmonk_com"],
  intent: "A product configurator for DTC brands",
  contrastAxis: "Editorial Generosity"
})

// Extend existing design system
synthesize_brief({
  sites: ["prisma_io"],
  intent: "A pricing page for our existing SaaS product",
  existingTokens: `
    --color-primary: #533AFD;
    --font-sans: Inter, sans-serif;
  `
})

Section-level generation tool. Produces a focused brief for one section/component type (hero, pricing, FAQ, testimonials, etc.) using real examples from selected or all sites.

get_section_inspiration({
  sectionType: "pricing",
  context: "B2B DevOps product with a dark UI",
  sites: ["linear_app", "stripe_com"],
  maxExamples: 5
})

Launches a full pipeline scrape of the given URL: screenshots, deep CSS analysis, design DNA extraction, token generation, and database storage. Once complete, the site's slug is available to all other tools. Costs 1 credit per scrape.

scrape_site({ url: "https://linear.app" })
// Returns slug: "linear_app"
