design-md

Generating a design system document from a Stitch project involves analyzing design assets to extract semantic tokens, typography, color roles, and layout patterns, which are then synthesized into a structured DESIGN.md file.

A DESIGN.md blueprint is a comprehensive documentation file that codifies scattered design notes into a semantic design system. You need one to establish a reusable reference for color, typography, spacing, and component patterns.

Yes, you need the Stitch MCP Server to extract design tokens and layout patterns. The generation process requires Stitch MCP Server access to retrieve screen and asset metadata from your projects before producing the DESIGN.md file.

You can turn scattered design notes into a single design document automatically by ingesting design metadata from the Stitch MCP Server, which synthesizes the extracted assets into an actionable DESIGN.md reference.

The best way to document component primitives and color roles is to generate a DESIGN.md file from your Stitch project, capturing semantic tokens and layout patterns to guide future design and generation tasks.

A limitation of generating a DESIGN.md from Stitch project assets is the strict requirement for Stitch MCP Server access and existing design assets, as the generation cannot synthesize a design system without retrievable screen metadata.
