SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the inconsistency of ad-hoc visual identity implementation by providing a standardized, machine-readable DESIGN.md format that coding agents can use to apply consistent design system rules across projects, removing guesswork from styling and branding decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design System Authoring: Guide users through building a complete DESIGN.md from brand inputs, including color palettes, typography scales, spacing systems, and component tokens with proper reference syntax.
  • Design Validation: Automatically check DESIGN.md files for structural correctness, WCAG contrast compliance, and token reference errors to catch accessibility and consistency issues before implementation.
  • Format Conversion: Convert DESIGN.md tokens to common frontend formats like Tailwind CSS config, CSS custom properties, and Style Dictionary-compatible JSON for seamless integration with existing development toolchains.
  • Use Case: A product team launching a new brand can use this Skill to generate a shared DESIGN.md from brand guidelines, validate it for accessibility compliance, and export tokens directly to their frontend framework setup to ensure consistent styling across all components and pages.

Quick Start

Use the design-md skill to create a valid DESIGN.md for my new SaaS product using my brand colors #1A1C1E as primary and #F7F5F2 as neutral, with Inter as the base font family.
