Awesome DESIGN.md

Copy a DESIGN.md into your project, tell your AI agent “build me a page that looks like this,” and generate high-quality UI that stays visually consistent with the design language.

Built with real design depth — including analyzed patterns, tokens, and rules — for high-quality UI generation, not surface-level outputs.

What is DESIGN.md?

DESIGN.md is a new concept introduced by Google Stitch. A plain-text design system document that AI agents read to generate consistent UI.

It's just a markdown file. No Figma exports, no JSON schemas, no special tooling. Drop it into your project root and any AI coding agent or Google Stitch instantly understands how your UI should look. Markdown is the format LLMs read best, so there's nothing to parse or configure.

File Who reads it What it defines
AGENTS.md Coding agents How to build the project
DESIGN.md Design agents How the project should look and feel

This repo provides ready-to-use DESIGN.md files extracted from real websites.

Request a DESIGN.md

You can request a DESIGN.md for specific website, including private requests delivered exclusively to you.

👉 Feature your product alongside the developers, designers, and vibecoders shipping UI with AI coding agents and web builders.

Ranked #150 globally on GitHub. A community resource used by developers, designers, and vibecoders.

Retro Web · DESIGN.md Nostalgia

A Saturday series — DESIGN.md files extracted from the web of the 1990s. Drop one in and tell your AI agent to build a period-accurate vintage UI.

What's Inside Each DESIGN.md

Every file follows the Stitch DESIGN.md format with extended sections:

# Section What it captures
1 Visual Theme & Atmosphere Mood, density, design philosophy
2 Color Palette & Roles Semantic name + hex + functional role
3 Typography Rules Font families, full hierarchy table
4 Component Stylings Buttons, cards, inputs, navigation with states
5 Layout Principles Spacing scale, grid, whitespace philosophy
6 Depth & Elevation Shadow system, surface hierarchy
7 Do's and Don'ts Design guardrails and anti-patterns
8 Responsive Behavior Breakpoints, touch targets, collapsing strategy
9 Agent Prompt Guide Quick color reference, ready-to-use prompts

Each site includes:

File Purpose
DESIGN.md The design system (what agents read)
preview.html Visual catalog showing color swatches, type scale, buttons, cards
preview-dark.html Same catalog with dark surfaces

How to Use

  1. Copy a site's DESIGN.md into your project root
  2. Tell your AI agent to use it.

Searching Database…

What is this?This is a curated collection of DESIGN.md files — plain-text design system documents analyzed from real websites like Claude, Stripe, Nike and Tesla — that you drop into a project so an AI coding agent generates UI matching that brand's visual language.
Is DESIGN.md a tool or just a markdown file?It's just a plain-text markdown file, not a tool, app, or JSON schema — AI agents read it directly with no Figma exports or special tooling required.
How do I actually use one of these files?Copy a site's DESIGN.md into your project root, then tell your AI coding agent to use it when generating pages.
Do I need Google Stitch to use these?No. Google Stitch introduced the DESIGN.md concept, but because it's plain markdown any AI coding agent can read and use these files.
Are the colors and tokens in these files officially accurate or endorsed by the brands?No — they're reverse-engineered from each site's publicly visible CSS, provided 'as is' without warranty, and the maintainers claim no ownership of the brands' visual identity.
Who is this aimed at?Developers, designers, and 'vibecoders' who build UI with AI coding agents and want quick, brand-consistent styling instead of starting from a blank page.
What exactly does each DESIGN.md file contain?Nine sections: visual theme & atmosphere, color palette with semantic roles, typography hierarchy, component stylings (buttons, cards, inputs), layout/spacing principles, shadow/elevation system, do's and don'ts, responsive breakpoints, and a ready-to-use agent prompt guide.
How is the collection organized?Entries are grouped by industry: AI & LLM Platforms, Developer Tools & IDEs, Backend/Database/DevOps, Productivity & SaaS, Design Tools, Fintech & Crypto, E-commerce, Media & Consumer Tech, and Automotive, plus a separate 'Retro Web' series.
What is the Retro Web series?A side series of DESIGN.md files extracted from 1990s-2000s websites — like Dell's 1996 catalog page and Nintendo.com in 2001 — so you can prompt an agent to build a period-accurate vintage UI.
Can I get a DESIGN.md for a site that isn't in the list yet?Yes, the repo accepts requests for specific websites, including private requests delivered exclusively to the requester.
