Import

Bring real content onto the canvas — websites, repos, live app screens, and images.

Good design work starts from real material. Doop has four ways to get it onto the canvas: import any public website as editable frames, connect a GitHub repo and pull its design system and screens out of the code, drop a sync snippet into an app that lives behind a login, or simply copy & paste. Everything lands as frames that everyone on the canvas — human or agent — can see and work from.

Website import

The fastest way to redesign something that already exists. Click ⤓ Import in the canvas toolbar, paste a URL, and Doop captures the page as a single frame: the real HTML, with every stylesheet inlined, images resolving, and all scripts stripped. What you get is a faithful, fully editable snapshot — not a screenshot.

Agents have the same power through the import_webpage tool. Give your agent a brief like "redesign acme.com's pricing page" and a well-behaved agent imports the page first, leaves that source frame untouched, and designs in a fresh frame next to it. Imports are de-duplicated — if the same URL is already on the canvas, agents reuse the existing snapshot instead of stacking up copies.

What happens under the hood:

• The page is loaded in a real browser, scrolled to the bottom so lazy-loaded images and reveal animations fire.
• Scripts, iframes, and anything else executable are removed, and a strict content-security policy is injected — imported pages render live but can never run code on your canvas.
• All linked stylesheets are fetched and inlined, so the snapshot keeps looking right on its own.
• The frame is named after the page title, rendered at 1280px wide at the page's natural height (up to 6000px), and placed to the right of your existing frames.

Import an entire site

Redesigning more than one page? Tick import the entire website in the Import dialog. Doop discovers the site's pages — from its sitemap and by following same-site links — and shows you the list, homepage first, everything selected by default. Uncheck what you don't need and confirm.

• Up to 100 pages per import, all from the same domain.
• Pages import a few at a time and land in a tidy three-column grid next to your existing frames.
• If some pages fail (a 404 deep in the sitemap, a blocked path), the rest still import — you'll see a count of what made it and what didn't.

What can't be imported

• Pages behind a login or bot protection. If the site answers with a challenge or an error, the import fails cleanly rather than capturing a login wall. For those, use the sync snippet — it captures from your browser, where you're already signed in.
• Private and local addresses. Only public http(s) URLs work — localhost, internal hostnames, and private IPs are blocked. The sync snippet covers localhost too.
• Very heavy pages. Documents over ~3 MB of HTML or with more than 2 MB of CSS are rejected to keep canvases fast.

Imports are limited to 5 per minute per person (agents included).

Inspect without importing

Sometimes an agent just needs to look at a page — check a competitor's layout, read some copy — without adding anything to the canvas. That's the view_website tool: it returns a screenshot and the page's visible text to the agent, and nothing appears on the canvas. Rule of thumb: if the page is source material the whole canvas should see, import it; if it's a quick read-only glance, view it. The two share the same capture pipeline, so a page that can't be imported can't be viewed either.

GitHub import

Your product's real design system lives in its code — tokens, theme files, tailwind config, the component library. GitHub import connects a repository and pulls that onto the canvas, so every design made there matches what you've actually shipped. It reads the code directly; no deployed site needed.

Connecting a repo can bring in three things:

• The design system, as a pinned style guide. Doop distills the repo's theme and token modules, framework config, global styles, and app shell into a canvas guideline — the style rules every agent working on the canvas follows from then on. This is the headline; importing screens is optional.
• Screens sketched from code. Pages (Next.js, SvelteKit, Remix, and friends), Storybook stories, and UI components are read from source and rendered as frames — Doop's agent reads the screen's code and the components it imports, builds the frame, then screenshots and corrects its own output.
• Static HTML, as-is. Any .html files in the repo import directly as sanitized frames.

Connect a repo

Open the Import dialog and find Or connect a GitHub repo. Click Connect GitHub to install the Doop GitHub App and pick a repository — private repos work. If you can't install apps, paste a fine-grained personal access token instead. Either way, credentials stay on the server; tokens never appear in frames or reach agents.

Hit Analyze and Doop maps the repo: it detects the framework and lists everything importable — components and stories first, with the full page list behind an optional toggle. Check what you want (design-system extraction is on by default), then import.

The import runs as Doop Agent board cards — the design system first, then screens a couple at a time. Nothing lands until a card finishes, so a failed screen leaves no debris and can be retried from the board. Imported frames carry a GitHub badge, and connected agents are taught to treat the repo as the source of truth when editing them.

Limits: up to 40 screens per import (the analyzer surfaces up to 300), the same 5-imports-per-minute budget as website import, and each import consumes Doop Agent task allowance.

Sync snippet for live sites

The website importer can only reach public pages. The sync snippet is the escape hatch for everything else — your product behind SSO, a staging site on a VPN, the app running on localhost. It captures screens from your own browser, where you're already signed in.

Open the Import dialog and create a sync key. You get a one-line snippet to drop into your app:

<script async src="https://doop.design/doop-sync.js?key=dk_…"></script>

Then just browse your app. Every distinct route you visit becomes a frame on the canvas — sanitized HTML, no scripts, same treatment as a website import — and Doop also records which screens link to which, so agents understand the app's flow, not just its pages.

Built to be safe to run against real apps:

• Input values are never captured. Anything you've typed into a form is dropped.
• Mark sensitive elements with data-doop-mask to redact them, or data-doop-sync-ignore to skip them entirely.
• The sync key is write-only and scoped to a single canvas — it can't read anything back.
• Synced frames freeze 15 minutes after creation. They're an import, not a live mirror — to re-import a screen, delete its frame and visit the page again.

Snapshots are capped at 2.5 MB per screen, 30 captures per minute per key, and a given page re-syncs at most every 30 seconds while its frame is still fresh.

Copy & paste

Copy an image anywhere — a screenshot, a photo, a crop from another tool — click the canvas, and hit ⌘V. Each image becomes its own frame, sized to fit (scaled down to at most 900px on the long side), named after its file, and centered in your current view. Paste several at once and they line up in a row.

Images can be PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, or SVG, up to 5 MB each.

Attach images to a brief

When you queue work for the Doop Agent, the prompt bar's paperclip (or a paste into the prompt) attaches up to 4 images. Each attachment becomes a reference frame on the canvas, and the agent is instructed to study them before designing — and to treat them as untouchable source material, never something to edit.

Upload assets from an agent

Connected agents bring their own imagery onto the canvas with the upload_asset tool. It returns a permanent public URL the agent can reference from any frame. Three ways in:

• From a URL — pass source_url and Doop fetches the remote file server-side.
• From a local file — pass local_file: true and Doop returns a one-time upload URL plus a ready-to-run curl command. The file streams straight from the agent's machine to Doop — the bytes never pass through the model. The link is single-use and expires after 15 minutes.
• Inline — base64 data, as a last resort for tiny files under ~100 KB.

Same rules as pasting: PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, or SVG, 5 MB max, with the file type verified from the actual bytes — not the file extension. Uploads are limited to 15 per minute.

Troubleshooting

• "This page can't be captured." The site is behind a login, a bot challenge, or returned an error. Retrying won't help — use the sync snippet, or paste screenshots instead.
• The import looks different from the live site. Snapshots run without JavaScript, so anything the page builds entirely at runtime (client-rendered apps, embedded players) won't appear. The sync snippet captures the rendered result from your browser and handles these cases much better; if the app's code is on GitHub, a repo import sketches those screens from source.
• GitHub analyze finds nothing. Screen detection follows framework conventions — Next.js app/ and pages/ routes, SvelteKit routes, Remix routes, Storybook stories, and PascalCase components. Repos outside those patterns still get the design-system extraction.
• "Image exceeds the 5 MB limit." Resize or compress before pasting — frames rarely need more than 900px on the long side anyway.
• Whole-site discovery missed some pages. Discovery reads the sitemap and follows same-site links; pages that aren't linked or listed won't be found. Import them individually by URL.

That's the full import surface — pull in the real thing, then design against it. Connect an agent →
