design md generator
Example session with this skill installed
I have a logo with a deep clay red (#A73B24). I want a design system that feels grounded and heavy but modern. Can you lock this in for my Next.js project?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the design md generator
- Generated the design tokens stylesheet
I have extracted the clay red palette and set the system dials to RHYTHM 3 (grounded) and MOTION 1 (stable). I've verified the contrast for the primary action button.
DESIGN.md
- Status: Locked
- Dial: ENERGY 1 / RHYTHM 3 / MOTION 1
- Anchor: Traditional pottery / Architecture
- Differentiator: High-contrast oversized typography paired with earthy, textured backgrounds.
Tokens
:root {
/* Paper & Ink */
--paper: oklch(0.98 0.01 40); /* Warm bone */
--ink: oklch(0.25 0.02 40); /* Near-black clay */
/* Brand */
--accent: oklch(0.48 0.18 35); /* Clay Red #A73B24 */
--accent-contrast: oklch(0.99 0.01 40);
/* Scale */
--space-unit: 4px;
--radius-base: 2px; /* Sharp, architectural edges */
}
Decisions
Typography: Using a heavy serif for headings to lean into the "grounded" feel, with a clean sans-serif for functional UI.
Color: The clay red is reserved for primary actions and status. Backgrounds use a warm off-white to avoid the sterile look of pure #FFFFFF.
- Rhythm: Spacing is generous (Scale 3) to give elements room to breathe, mimicking a gallery layout.
Next steps
- Run
node scripts/validate_design.mjsto confirm contrast passes for all secondary tokens. - Run
node scripts/export_design.mjs --format tailwindto update your@themeblock. - Import the generated
tokens.cssinto your root layout file.

About this skill
AI agents often drift into "slop" by making inconsistent visual choices or defaulting to generic "modern" aesthetics that look like every other generated site. This skill forces an agent to define, lock, and export a durable visual system that governs every subsequent UI build.
What it does
- Enforce visual identity by generating a
DESIGN.mdfile that serves as the source of truth for all UI decisions. - Extract design tokens from existing code, brand guides, logos, or screenshots to maintain continuity.
- Calculate contrast ratios using WCAG 2.1 math for all ink, paper, and accent pairs to ensure accessibility.
- Detect and prevent slop by identifying saturated anchors (like the "Stripe/Linear look") and requiring unique differentiators.
- Export to build tools by generating
tokens.css, Tailwind v4@themeblocks, or DTCG-complianttokens.json.
How it works
- Direction Discovery: Choose to answer an interview, point to a reference site/image, or request a proposal based on the PRD.
- Anchor Check: Identify the "saturated" design patterns you want to avoid and commit to a specific differentiator.
- System Generation: The skill populates a normative
DESIGN.mdwith dials for energy, rhythm, and motion alongsideoklch()tokens. - Validation and Wiring: Run the deterministic validator to catch contrast failures or missing decisions, then export tokens to your frontend stack.
Frameworks & tools
Works with any frontend stack via CSS variables. Specific export support for Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and Design Tokens Community Group (DTCG) formats. Includes a Node.js validation script for CI/CD or local checks.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts like "make it look clean" result in the model's mean average output, which is the definition of AI slop. This skill uses a structured interview and a strict schema to lock down specific tokens and "dials" that the agent cannot deviate from in future turns, ensuring a cohesive product.
Use cases
- Stabilize an agent's visual output so it stops changing button styles on every new page.
- Convert a client's brand guide or a reference screenshot into a production-ready token system.
- Audit an existing project for WCAG contrast compliance and token consistency.
- Scaffold a design system for a new project before the first UI component is written.
Known limitations
Does not generate mockups or visual assets; it generates the rules that govern them. Requires a Node.js environment to run the included validation and export scripts.
