design-md

You can automate design system documentation by running a command that scans your codebase for design signals like colors and typography, then generates a DESIGN.md file with YAML tokens and Markdown sections.

Yes, you can generate a design system document from Tailwind CSS tokens. The tool scans your project to produce a DESIGN.md file that complies with the Tailwind CSS and design.md specification.

The best way to extract design tokens into Markdown documentation is using an automated scanner that analyzes your codebase and outputs both machine-readable YAML tokens and human-readable Markdown sections.

You need Tailwind CSS and the design-md-cli dependency to ensure the generated DESIGN.md file complies with the required specification. Run the command from your project's root directory to create or update the file.

Codebase analysis for design signals works by scanning your project files to identify colors, typography, and spacing patterns. It then compiles these signals into a structured design system document.

Automated design system generation is limited by its dependencies on Tailwind CSS and the design.md specification. It extracts existing design signals from the codebase but requires proper project setup to ensure accurate scanning and compliance.
