DesignMD

DesignMD is a web tool that analyzes any live website URL and generates a comprehensive DESIGN.md file. It works by reading the actual DOM and CSSOM of the page you provide, extracting concrete design tokens like CSS variables, color palettes, typography scales, spacing systems, and responsive breakpoints. The process takes about 12 seconds and produces a markdown document ready for immediate use.

What sets DesignMD apart is its method of direct measurement from the live frontend code, not inference from screenshots. It captures real production values—actual CSS custom properties, computed styles, interaction states, and contrast pairs. This results in a highly accurate, production-grade specification rather than an approximation. The output is structured specifically for AI coding agents to understand and utilize.

This tool is ideal for frontend developers, designers, and AI engineers who need to quickly understand or replicate a site's design system. Use cases include creating reference documentation for a project, providing context for AI coding assistants like Cursor or Claude Code, or conducting competitive design analysis. It's particularly useful for developers working with AI agents that can read and apply the specifications from the DESIGN.md file directly.
