What can you do with a DESIGN.md?

One structured Markdown file that captures a website's entire visual language unlocks a surprising number of workflows — from steering AI coding agents to auditing competitors. Here are the eight we see most.

🤖
Brief AI coding agents

Give Cline, Cursor, Claude Code or Copilot one canonical design file

AI agents produce inconsistent UI when every prompt re-describes the design from memory. A DESIGN.md at the root of your repo gives the agent an exact, token-level source of truth — colors, type scale, spacing, radii, shadows, motion and guardrails — so every generated component matches your brand across every session.

🕵️
Competitive design audits

Reverse-engineer any reference site in minutes, not hours

Paste a competitor or inspiration URL and get a complete breakdown of their visual language: the exact palette with usage frequency, font stacks, spacing rhythm, elevation system and animation techniques. Perfect for agencies preparing pitches and moodboards grounded in real data.

🎨
Rebrands & redesigns

Document the current design system before you change it

Before a redesign, capture the existing site as a precise spec. The DESIGN.md becomes your "before" snapshot — useful for stakeholder discussions, migration planning, and making sure nothing important is lost in translation.

🧩
Design-system bootstrapping

Turn a one-off marketing page into reusable tokens

Many teams have a beautiful landing page but no formal design system. Scan your own site and instantly get named tokens (YAML frontmatter) you can map to CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, or Figma variables.

🖼️
From screenshot to spec

No URL? A dribbble shot or Figma export works too

Upload any PNG/JPG/WEBP mockup and the AI derives the full system visually — palette, typography direction, spacing, component styles. Great for turning design inspiration into something a developer or AI agent can actually build from.

📚
Living design documentation

A human-readable spec that never drifts from reality

Because DESIGN.md is generated from the real shipped CSS, it documents what your site actually looks like — not what a stale style guide claims. Re-scan after each release to keep the doc honest.

Rapid prototyping

Clone a visual language onto new content instantly

Feed the DESIGN.md plus new copy to any AI coding tool and get an on-brand page in one shot. The included live HTML preview doubles as a starter template that already demonstrates the tokens in use.

🔍
QA & fidelity checks

Verify implementations against the reference design

The built-in Verify & Fix pass screenshots both the reference and the generated preview, runs a structured 3-pass QA (anomaly scan → reference diff → motion audit) and repairs differences — a workflow you can reuse for checking your own builds.
