DESIGN.md is Google's open spec (Apache-2.0, google-labs-code/design.md) for
describing a visual identity to coding agents. One file combines:
Tokens give exact values. Prose tells agents why those values exist and how to
apply them. The CLI (npx @google/design.md) lints structure + WCAG contrast,
diffs versions for regressions, and exports to Tailwind or W3C DTCG JSON.
For purely visual inspiration or layout examples, use popular-web-designs
instead. For process and taste when designing a one-off HTML artifact
from scratch (prototype, deck, landing page, component lab), use
claude-design. This skill is for the formal spec file itself.
