How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file

Design-MD
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.
Global rules
- For purely visual inspiration or layout examples, use
popular-web-designsinstead; this skill is for the formal spec file itself. - File anatomy example (front matter + canonical sections), token types and
formats, component property whitelist:
references/anatomy.md. - Authoring flow and lint / diff / export CLI commands, exit codes, and the
Windows
designmdalias:references/workflow.md. - Full lint rule reference (9 rules as of CLI 0.3.0) and common pitfalls:
references/pitfalls.md. - Spec source of truth:
google-labs-code/design.md(Apache-2.0); CLI@google/design.mdon npm; generated DESIGN.md files take the user's project license.
Routing
| Step | Reference | Purpose |
| Understand | references/anatomy.md | File structure, token types, canonical section order, canonical example file. |
| Act | references/workflow.md | Authoring a new DESIGN.md; lint / diff / export / spec commands with exact CLI syntax. |
| Troubleshoot | references/pitfalls.md | Lint rules in detail, YAML quoting, section order, dotted-path token refs, Windows gotcha. |
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
