Practical Notes
- GitHub: 76,330 stars · 9,272 forks; pushed 2026-05-11 (verified via GitHub API).
- README says this repo includes a curated collection of DESIGN.md files extracted from real websites.
- README usage is simple: copy a site’s
DESIGN.mdinto your project root and instruct your agent to use it.
Main
A reliable workflow:
- Pick a DESIGN.md that matches your target vibe (SaaS dashboard, docs site, consumer app).
- Copy it into the repo root and keep it versioned.
- When asking the agent to build UI, include constraints like “no new colors outside DESIGN.md” and “reuse components”.
When the output looks off, don’t “prompt harder”—edit the DESIGN.md tokens and regenerate. This keeps style changes systematic and reviewable.
FAQ
Q: Is DESIGN.md a standard? A: README points to Google Stitch docs; it’s a plain-text design system file meant for agents.
Q: Do I need to use Stitch? A: No—the file is plain text; any agent that can read repo files can follow it.
Q: Is this a license risk? A: The repo is MIT; still treat brand-specific styles carefully and avoid implying affiliation with the referenced sites.
