SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams create, validate, and export structured design system specifications so visual identity rules can be consistently understood by coding agents and development tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • DESIGN.md Authoring: Create formal design token files with YAML front matter and organized Markdown guidance for colors, typography, spacing, and components.
  • Validation and Export: Check token references, accessibility constraints, and specification structure, then export tokens into formats such as Tailwind themes or W3C DTCG JSON.
  • Use Case: A product team can convert an existing brand style guide into an AI-consumable DESIGN.md specification that keeps interfaces consistent across multiple applications.

Quick Start

Ask the design-md skill to create or validate a DESIGN.md file for my project using the required brand tokens and accessibility rules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create AI-ready design token specifications for my brand?▼

Design token specifications are structured into DESIGN.md files containing YAML front matter and Markdown sections for colors, typography, spacing, and components. This format ensures visual identity rules are consistently understood by coding agents and development tools.

Can I export design tokens to Tailwind themes or W3C DTCG JSON?▼

Yes, design tokens can be exported to Tailwind themes or W3C DTCG JSON formats. The export workflow validates token references, accessibility constraints, and specification structure before converting the structured Markdown guidance into compatible output formats.

How do I validate accessibility constraints like WCAG in my design tokens?▼

WCAG accessibility constraints are validated during the DESIGN.md specification check. The validation process reviews token references and specification structure to ensure color contrasts and accessibility rules meet required standards before any format export.

What is a DESIGN.md file and when do I need it for interface development?▼

A DESIGN.md file is a structured design system specification containing YAML front matter, Markdown sections, and token references. You need it when converting brand style guides into AI-consumable formats to keep interfaces consistent across multiple applications.

Does design-md work with existing brand style guides?▼

Existing brand style guides can be converted into AI-consumable DESIGN.md specifications. Product teams provide their required brand tokens and accessibility rules to generate a structured file that maintains visual identity consistency across multiple applications.
