SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

DESIGN.md token spec files across projects can be inconsistent and hard to validate. This skill enables authoring, validating, and exporting DESIGN.md token specs to maintain a canonical design system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Author and version DESIGN.md tokens with a defined schema.
  • Validate token structure, references, and WCAG accessibility considerations to ensure consistency and compliance.
  • Export tokens to Tailwind theme and W3C DTCG JSON formats for downstream tooling and integration.

Quick Start

Run the DESIGN.md tooling to lint DESIGN.md and export token data to Tailwind or DTCG formats.

Frequently Asked Questions about design-md

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate DESIGN.md design token structure and references?

You can validate DESIGN.md token structure and references by running linting tooling that checks structural correctness, resolves token references, and verifies WCAG accessibility compliance for your design system.

How do I export design tokens to Tailwind theme format?

Export design tokens to Tailwind theme format by using conversion tooling that transforms the canonical DESIGN.md token schema into a downstream Tailwind theme configuration file for project integration.

What is the DESIGN.md token specification for design systems?

The DESIGN.md token specification is a canonical, versioned schema for design systems that enables automated validation, structural correctness, and token reference resolution across multiple projects and tools.

Can I export DESIGN.md tokens to W3C DTCG JSON format?

Yes, you can export DESIGN.md tokens to W3C DTCG JSON format. The conversion tooling transforms the validated canonical token schema into the standardized DTCG JSON structure for downstream tooling integration.

Does the design token linting check WCAG accessibility compliance?

Yes, the design token linting process validates WCAG accessibility considerations alongside structural correctness and token references, ensuring your design system meets compliance standards during automated validation.

What's the best way to maintain a canonical design token schema across projects?

The best way to maintain a canonical design token schema across projects is to author and version DESIGN.md files, using automated linting and diffing tooling to validate structural correctness and token references consistently.
