sche·ma /ˈskiːmə/

A structured framework or plan; an underlying organizational pattern that shapes how things connect and make sense.

I'm John Fraskos, a UI designer based in Greece. For the past 15 years I've been designing for WordPress, working with design systems and exploring how to give layout real semantic structure without letting the system kill the creativity.

For the last few years, that work has centred on Automatic.CSS as a foundation for design abstraction. As agentic workflows entered the picture, It felt natural to work on a way that would allow agents to meaningfully interact with an ACSS-powered design system.

Schema is my answer to that. context layer that sits between your AI agent and your ACSS design system, so the agent can operate on your design tokens in a semantically meaningful way.

I'm building it with my long-term dev partner Krishna. You might know us from 2017, when we built Style Kits, an Elementor add-on that brought global design system thinking to a builder that didn't have it natively.

Similar problem, new landscape. But this time with much more refined tools.
