SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generates a complete, machine-friendly DESIGN.md in the Stitch format so AI agents and developers can produce UI that matches a project's visual rules without guesswork or drift. It removes ambiguity about colors, typography, components, spacing, and agent prompts so generated UI is consistent and immediately usable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Q&A mode that walks stakeholders through the nine Stitch DESIGN.md sections and produces concrete content, not placeholders.
  • Community clone mode that starts from a curated DESIGN.md and then customizes it for the project.
  • Confirms file location, writes a formatted DESIGN.md, and updates project metadata and agent pointers so Claude/Copilot read the design system before generating UI.
  • Use cases: bootstrapping a new frontend, reverse-documenting an existing UI, or standardizing agent prompts for UI generation.

Quick Start

Generate a DESIGN.md for this project using the Stitch format and save it to docs/design.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a design system document for my repository?

Generate a design system document by running a guided Q&A that walks through the nine Stitch DESIGN.md sections, producing concrete content for colors, typography, and components rather than placeholders. The tool then writes the formatted file and updates project metadata for agent-driven UI generation.

What is a Stitch-format DESIGN.md and when do I need one?

A Stitch-format DESIGN.md is a machine-readable design system document covering nine sections that define UI rules. You need one when bootstrapping a frontend, reverse-documenting an existing interface, or standardizing agent prompts to prevent visual drift in generated UI.

Can I clone an existing design system document and customize it for my project?

Yes, community clone mode starts from a curated DESIGN.md and customizes it for your specific project. This approach accelerates setup by adapting an existing design system to match your visual rules without starting from scratch.

How do I make AI agents read my design system before generating UI code?

To make AI agents read your design system, the generator updates project metadata and agent instruction files like Copilot pointers after writing the DESIGN.md. This ensures Claude or other agents load the visual rules before producing any UI components.

Does the generated DESIGN.md work with Bootstrap or other UI frameworks?

The generated DESIGN.md defines framework-agnostic visual rules including colors, typography, spacing, and components. While it uses the Stitch format, the documented design system can guide UI generation across various frontend frameworks and styling approaches.

What are the limitations of using a guided Q&A to document an existing UI?

The guided Q&A produces structured content for the nine Stitch sections, but documenting an existing interface requires you to manually identify and input current visual rules. The tool does not automatically scan or extract styles from live code or rendered components.
