# DESIGN.md Skill

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:

- **YAML front matter** — machine-readable design tokens (normative values)
- **Markdown body** — human-readable rationale, organized into canonical sections

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.
