SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Parse a structured design brief written in I-Lang protocol format into a concrete DESIGN.md. Eliminates ambiguity from vague requests by requiring explicit dimensions and a standardized design token resolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parses I-Lang structured briefs and natural-language descriptions into a DESIGN.md with resolved design tokens.
  • Generates an optional visual preview (brief-preview.html) and supports a designer’s workflow to hand off specs to design teams.
  • Use Case: A product team provides a brief, the skill outputs a ready-to-author DESIGN.md with color, typography, layout, and component guidance.

Quick Start

Provide a structured design brief in I-Lang or describe it in natural language, and I will generate a DESIGN.md with resolved tokens and a preview.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a design brief into concrete design tokens?

You can turn a design brief into concrete tokens by parsing it into a DESIGN.md file. The skill resolves tokens across 8 dimensions: palette, accent, typography, display, layout, mood, density, and exclusions, validating and defaulting any unspecified values.

Can I use natural language to generate a design specification?

Yes, you can generate a design specification from natural language descriptions. The skill parses both natural language and I-Lang structured briefs, applying token resolution rules to output a standardized DESIGN.md file.

How do I resolve missing dimensions in a design system brief?

To resolve missing dimensions in a design system brief, the skill validates the input and applies default values. It ensures all formatting in the resulting DESIGN.md comes from fully resolved tokens across the 8 specified design dimensions.

Does I-Lang structured brief parsing support visual previews?

I-Lang structured brief parsing supports visual previews by generating a brief-preview.html file. This allows designers to visually verify the resolved tokens before handing off the DESIGN.md specifications to the design team.

What is the best way to hand off design specs to a design team?

The best way to hand off design specs is to generate a ready-to-author DESIGN.md with resolved color, typography, layout, and component guidance. This eliminates ambiguity from vague requests by requiring explicit dimensions and standardized tokens.

Are there limitations when parsing I-Lang briefs into DESIGN.md?

A limitation when parsing I-Lang briefs is that formatting strictly depends on resolved tokens; if a dimension is unspecified, it defaults automatically. The output is constrained to the 8 design dimensions defined within the token resolution rules.
