SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates planning and creation of a cohesive design system, producing a DESIGN.md that codifies typography, color, layout, spacing, and motion for your project and serves as the design source of truth. It can infer a system for existing sites when DESIGN.md is absent and provides proactive guidance when starting new UI work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Research-driven system design: defines a cohesive aesthetic and component language, and generates a DESIGN.md to serve as the living source of truth.
  • Proactive design guidance: suggests brand guidelines and design-system decisions at project initiation or when upgrading existing sites without DESIGN.md.
  • Artifact generation: outputs a DESIGN.md plus design previews and guidelines for consistent implementation across teams.
