design-md-validator
Validate DESIGN.md files against the official Google specification using the `@google/design.md` CLI linter. Works with local files. Use when the user wants to lint a DESIGN.md, check spec compliance, find broken token references, verify WCAG contrast ratios, diff two versions, export tokens to Tailwind or DTCG format, or audit a design system file for structural correctness. Trigger on mentions of "validate DESIGN.md", "lint DESIGN.md", "check my design.md", "design.md spec compliance", "WCAG contrast check", "broken token references", "design token validation", "export design tokens", "diff design systems", "design.md audit", "@google/design.md", "npx design.md lint", "design system validation", "frontmatter tokens", or any request to verify a DESIGN.md file.
