design-md

You can lint design tokens to enforce naming conventions and color roles by running the official CLI against your DESIGN.md file. This validates the token structure and front-matter driven schemas to ensure design system consistency.

Exporting design tokens to Tailwind or DTCG formats is handled via the official CLI export workflows. This process translates standardized DESIGN.md tokens into downstream development tooling formats for platform parity.

Yes, you can diff design tokens to track changes across brand iterations. This feature enables versioned design systems by comparing token modifications and highlighting differences over time.

A DESIGN.md file supports accessibility auditing by standardizing machine-readable design tokens with human guidance. Validating these tokens helps maintain accessible color roles and consistent design system standards across projects.

Yes, the official CLI is required to lint DESIGN.md files and execute token export workflows. It applies the linting rules and diff comparisons needed to standardize and validate your design system tokens.

Design system drift happens when machine-readable design tokens lack standardized validation and human guidance. Linting DESIGN.md files enforces token structure and naming conventions to reduce manual rework and maintain consistency.
