What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the friction of creating consistent, accessible, machine-readable design system specifications that sync across tools and projects, removing manual token management and WCAG compliance guesswork.
Core Features & Use Cases
- DESIGN.md Authoring: Generate fully structured, spec-compliant DESIGN.md files with valid YAML frontmatter for design tokens, aligned with Google's open standard.
- Validation & Linting: Run automated checks for broken token references, duplicate sections, invalid token values, and WCAG contrast ratios to ensure specs are error-free and accessible.
- Export & Integration: Export validated specs to Tailwind theme JSON or W3C DTCG format for seamless use in frontend projects. For example, if you are building a multi-product design system, use this Skill to create a single source of truth for tokens that can be linted for accessibility and exported to all your team's frontend tools.
