How to use a DESIGN.md template
1Copy
Visit any template page and copy the complete DESIGN.md content. Each template includes design tokens, components, and layout rules ready to paste into your project.
2Paste
Create a DESIGN.md file in your project root and paste the template content. This becomes your single source of truth for design decisions.
3Reference
In your AI agent chat, reference the DESIGN.md file: "Build a settings page following the DESIGN.md specifications." The agent reads tokens, colors, and patterns automatically.
4Generate
The AI generates UI that matches your design system exactly. Colors, spacing, typography, and components all follow the documented rules. Ship faster with consistent design.

What are DESIGN.md templates?
DESIGN.md templates are production-ready design specifications that AI coding agents can read and implement directly. Each template includes a complete design system: color tokens, typography scales, spacing rules, component specifications, and layout guidelines — all optimized for AI consumption.
Whether you are building a SaaS dashboard, landing page, AI application, or admin panel, these templates give you a head start. Copy the DESIGN.md content, paste it into your project, and tell Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex to follow the specifications. The result is consistent, polished UI that matches your brand without endless back-and-forth.
Unlike traditional design files, DESIGN.md is text-based and version-controlled. It lives in your repo, travels with your code, and gets consumed by AI agents as context. This is design documentation built for the AI-native workflow.
