Design.MD

Feels a bit like Figma, but for coding agents. Instead of going back and forth with prompts, you give the agent a DESIGN.md that defines the design system up front, and it generally sticks to it when generating UI. Google Stitch seems to be moving in this direction as a standard, so we put together a small collection of DESIGN.md files based on popular web sites.

In plain words

Figma for Coding Agents is a tool that helps coding agents generate user interfaces by following a predefined design system. Instead of iterating through multiple prompts, users provide a DESIGN.md file upfront that specifies design rules and patterns, which the agent adheres to when creating UI code. The product includes a collection of DESIGN.md templates based on popular websites, aligned with the Google Stitch standard for design documentation.

From the sources

getdesign.md is a collection of DESIGN.md files. One markdown file that captures a brand's visual language (colors, typography, spacing, components, motion) in a format AI coding agents actually understand. Drop it into your Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, v0 or Bolt project and ship UI that looks like Stripe, Notion, Linear or Vercel instead of the default AI beige. Browse 60+ ready-made files, request missing brands, or generate your own.

Browse independent design system analyses from popular websites. Drop one into your project as design reference for your coding agent.

Give your coding agent a reusable design reference: colors, type, spacing, components, and the reasoning behind them. So every new page follows a specific visual language, not the same generic AI layout. Start with a DESIGN.md , then build and ship the whole product with AI . Pick a DESIGN.md from a real site and hand it to your AI coder. It already carries the colors, type, and spacing, so you don't need to know any of it. UI reference library. Gallery-white monochrome, stadium pills, electric blue accent. Travel marketplace. Warm coral accent, photography-driven, rounded UI. Spreadsheet-database hybrid. Colorful, friendly, structured data aesthetic. Consumer electronics. Premium white…from getdesign.md

    Built Figr AI because I got tired of AI builder tools market themselves as design tools and end up skipping the hard part. Every tool I tried would jump straight to screens. But that's not how product design actually works. You don't just design screens. You think through the problem first. The flows, the edge cases, the user journey, where people will get stuck. Then the design comes finally. Figr does that thinking layer first. It parses your existing product via a chrome extension or takes in screen-records, then works through the problem with you before designing. Surfaces edge cases,…
