Text-based design specs stop AI agents from hallucinating your UI style.

Strengths
  • •Markdown format ensures compatibility with any LLM context window or agent.
  • •Covers 62 major brands like Linear and Stripe for instant inspiration.
  • •Solves AI design drift by defining constraints before generation starts.
Weaknesses
  • •Text descriptions lack the visual precision of actual Figma files.
  • •No validation tooling to check if generated UI actually matches spec.
Target Audience

Post Description

Feels a bit like Figma, but for coding agents.

Instead of going back and forth with prompts, you give the agent a DESIGN.md that defines the design system up front, and it generally sticks to it when generating UI.

Google Stitch seems to be moving in this direction as a standard, so we put together a small collection of DESIGN.md files based on popular web sites.
