SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the fragmentation of visual identity documentation by providing a standardized, machine-readable format that ensures design tokens are consistent, accessible, and ready for implementation across any project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Spec Authoring: Create formal DESIGN.md files that combine human-readable rationale with machine-readable YAML tokens.
  • Accessibility Validation: Automatically lint color palettes against WCAG contrast standards to ensure UI compliance.
  • Multi-Format Export: Convert design tokens into Tailwind theme configurations or W3C DTCG JSON for seamless integration into development workflows.

Quick Start

Use the design-md skill to lint the current DESIGN.md file in the project root and export the tokens to a tailwind.theme.json file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate WCAG contrast ratios for my UI color palette?

You can validate WCAG contrast ratios by linting color palettes against accessibility standards. This process checks your UI colors to ensure compliance and flags any combinations that fail contrast validation.

How do I export design tokens for a Tailwind theme configuration?

You can export design tokens to a Tailwind theme configuration by converting your visual identity documentation. This generates a production-ready theme file for seamless integration into your development workflow.

What is the Google DESIGN.md specification for visual identity?

The DESIGN.md specification is a standardized, machine-readable format that combines human-readable rationale with YAML tokens. It ensures visual identity documentation remains consistent and ready for implementation across any project.

Can I generate W3C DTCG JSON files from my existing design tokens?

Yes, you can convert your design tokens into W3C DTCG JSON format. This multi-format export capability ensures seamless integration of your visual identity standards into broader development workflows.

Do I need a specific framework to lint my design tokens?

No specific framework is required to lint design tokens. You simply need a DESIGN.md file in your project root to validate accessibility contrast ratios and export production-ready theme files.

What is the best way to standardize UI design documentation across projects?

Standardizing UI design documentation is best achieved by authoring formal DESIGN.md files. This approach provides a machine-readable format that ensures design tokens remain consistent, accessible, and ready for implementation.
