What is generate-design-md?

A command that creates a DESIGN.md file as a project-wide reference for the visual system. It can start from a template or collect existing values from Tailwind, CSS, Sass, or design-token files.

Use it to document colours, fonts, spacing, responsive breakpoints, and other existing interface settings.

It gives developers and coding agents one place to find the project's visual rules, reducing inconsistencies between screens.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00033	$0.01169
Opus 5	$0.00016	$0.00584
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00234
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00117

Security

Grade A, and why

generate-design-md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Generate DESIGN.md

Crée un fichier DESIGN.md à la racine du projet pour servir de source de vérité du design system, lu par tous les agents IA (voir skill design-md-convention).

Quand utiliser

Nouveau projet avec UI
Projet existant sans DESIGN.md (et donc inconsistances UI fréquentes)
Migration d'un design system Figma vers format AI-friendly

Usage

# Copie simple du template (à remplir manuellement)
/uiux:generate-design-md

# Pré-remplir depuis tailwind.config.*
/uiux:generate-design-md --from-tailwind

# Pré-remplir depuis fichier de tokens JSON
/uiux:generate-design-md --from-tokens=./design-tokens.json

# Mode interactif (questions ciblées)
/uiux:generate-design-md --interactive

Processus

1. Vérification

# Check si DESIGN.md existe déjà
if [[ -f "DESIGN.md" ]]; then
  echo "⚠️  DESIGN.md existe déjà. Utiliser --force pour écraser."
  exit 1
fi

2. Détection des sources UI

Auto-détecter ce qui est déjà défini :

tailwind.config.{js,ts,mjs} → extraire theme.colors, fontFamily, fontSize, spacing, screens
design-tokens.json / tokens.json → W3C Design Tokens format
src/styles/_variables.scss / styles.css avec :root { --color-* }
theme.ts (Chakra, Mantine, MUI)

3. Copie du template

Base : .claude/templates/DESIGN.md.template (7 sections obligatoires).

4. Pré-remplissage intelligent

Si --from-tailwind :

Parser tailwind.config.* via tw-loader ou lecture JSON
Mapper les couleurs vers color.{role}.{shade}
Extraire les breakpoints vers la section grille
Extraire les fontSize vers la section typographie

Si --from-tokens :

Respecter le format W3C Design Tokens (W3C Community Group spec)
Mapper {color.primary.500.value} vers tokens DESIGN.md

5. Mode interactif

Si --interactive, poser ces questions à l'utilisateur :

Personnalité du produit : professionnel / moderne / chaleureux / minimaliste ?
Couleur primaire : hex ou choix dans palette Tailwind ?
Font principale : système / Google Font / custom ?
Niveau accessibilité cible : WCAG 2.2 AA (standard) ou AAA (strict) ?
Library composants existante : aucune / shadcn/ui / MUI / Chakra / Mantine / custom ?
