FAQPage Schema
How do I validate design tokens for WCAG compliance and structural integrity?

You can validate design tokens for WCAG compliance and structural integrity by using a linting process to check DESIGN.md files. This ensures visual identities maintain correct token references and accessibility standards.

Can I export DESIGN.md tokens to Tailwind CSS or W3C DTCG JSON?

Yes, you can export DESIGN.md tokens to Tailwind CSS or W3C DTCG JSON. This conversion allows design specifications to be directly integrated into development environments and various design system tools.

What is the best way to manage Google's DESIGN.md token specification files?

The best way to manage DESIGN.md token specification files is by authoring, organizing, and validating them through a dedicated linting and diffing process. This maintains consistent UI and branding across multiple projects.

Do I need Python to lint and diff DESIGN.md visual identity files?

Yes, you need Python libraries to parse and manipulate DESIGN.md files for linting and diffing tasks. These libraries provide the necessary environment for managing visual identity specifications.

Does the design-md skill support checking token references in design specifications?

Yes, the design validation process supports checking token references within design specifications. It performs structural integrity checks to ensure all token mappings in your visual identity files are correctly linked.

Why does my design system need a DESIGN.md token diffing process?

A design system needs a diffing process to track changes in visual identity tokens over time. Diffing DESIGN.md files helps maintain UI consistency by identifying modifications in design specifications across project updates.
