DESIGN[.]md Best Practices
DESIGN[.]mdis quickly becoming one of the most useful files for AI-assisted UI design because it help AI understand your design system well enough to create UI that actually feels like your product.
A good DESIGN[.]md usually includes your design tokens, brand style, color rules, typography, spacing, and component guidance.
3 best practices for creating a strong DESIGN[.]md:
1. Treat tokens as decisions: A token is not just a variable. It defines the role something plays in the interface.
2. Add reasoning. Don’t just say what a style is. Explain why it exists, when to use it, and when not to use it. This helps AI make better design decisions.
3. Build components on top of tokens. Components should reference your tokens and design rules.
