AI/ML github.com
A format specification for describing a visual identity to coding agents. DESIGN.md gives agents a persistent, structured understanding of a design system. - google-labs-code/design.md
Summary

DESIGN.md, a Google Labs spec, gives coding agents a persistent design system understanding via YAML front matter tokens (colors, typography, spacing) and markdown rationale. It ships with `npx @google/design.md lint` for WCAG contrast validation and `diff` for token-level regression detection across versions. Tokens support references and component properties, enabling agents to produce consistent UI without prompt engineering guesswork.
