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

Google Labs released DESIGN.md, a format specification that lets coding agents read and apply a design system via YAML front matter (design tokens) and Markdown prose (design rationale). It includes a CLI linter (`npx @google/design.md lint`) for WCAG contrast checks and a diff tool for detecting token-level regressions between versions. The spec supports color, typography, spacing, and component tokens with cross-references, aiming to give AI agents persistent, structured design context.
