Ship a design spec your AI can actually use
An 8-step workflow that turns your palette into a complete design.md. Canonical markdown that Claude, Cursor, and Copilot consume to generate on-brand code.

8design stages
12canonical sections
1deterministic output
8 layered steps, one complete spec
Each step builds on the previous — your intent drives typography, typography informs components, and guardrails validate everything. Nothing is skipped, nothing is guessed.
- Intent, Typography, Spacing, Components, Iconography, and Guardrails
- AI-assisted cleanup polishes rough notes into structured sections
- Curated libraries for brand attributes, design principles, and anti-patterns
Intent
Product overview, tone, principles
Palette
Colors, roles, health score
Typography
Families, scale, roles
Spacing
Base unit, steps, density
Components
Preset, buttons, cards
Iconography
Library, style, size scale
Guardrails
Accessibility, do/don't rules
Export
Build, preview, download
Three-score readiness dashboard
See exactly how complete your spec is before exporting. Three independent scores — Palette Health, Design System coherence, and design.md readiness — with actionable remediation for every gap.
- Transparent scoring with hard gates and remediation advice
- Status progresses from incomplete → viable → strong → ready to export
- Versioned snapshots so you can track how the spec evolves over time

Canonical markdown for AI coding tools
The exported design.md follows a fixed section order so AI tools and teammates always know where to look. Drop it into your repo as CLAUDE.md context, paste it into Cursor, or hand it off to any coding agent.
- Structured for Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and any LLM-based tool
- Complete coverage: palette, typography, spacing, surfaces, components, icons, guardrails
- Deterministic output — identical inputs always produce identical markdown
