FAQPage Schema
How do I create a complete design system for a new UI project?

To create a complete design system, you need to define typography, color, layout, spacing, and motion guidelines. This process researches the visual landscape and generates a DESIGN.md file to serve as the project's single source of truth for brand consistency.

Can I extract or infer a design system from an existing website?

Yes, you can infer a design system from an existing site by running a plan-design-review. This analyzes the current visual landscape to extract typography, color, and spacing rules, generating a DESIGN.md to document the inferred system.

What is a DESIGN.md file used for in product development?

A DESIGN.md file acts as the source of truth for a project's design system. It documents typography, color palette, layout, spacing, and motion guidelines, ensuring developers and designers maintain brand consistency across new UI projects or revamps.

What's the best way to document brand guidelines for both print and UI design?

Documenting brand guidelines requires defining typography, color, layout, spacing, and motion. Generating font and color preview pages alongside a comprehensive DESIGN.md file ensures the design system is practically validated and accessible for UI updates.

Do I need prior design assets to generate a color palette and typography previews?

No, prior design assets are not required. The system can understand your product goals and research the visual landscape to propose a complete design system, generating font and color previews from scratch for new UI projects or brand updates.

Why does my design system lack consistency across different UI components?

Your design system lacks consistency because it lacks a documented source of truth. Generating a DESIGN.md file that explicitly defines typography, color, layout, spacing, and motion rules ensures visual alignment across all product interfaces.
