Sketch

active design

Sketch revolutionized UI design and established early programmatic access via `sketchtool`. Bundled directly inside the Sketch application bundle, this binary allows developers to inspect document structures, export artboards to various formats, and trigger plugins headlessly. It is a fundamental building block for automated design handoff and continuous integration pipelines for assets.
