Google Labs Code DESIGN.md
Overview
Google Labs Code DESIGN.md is a format specification for describing a visual identity to coding agents.
It combines machine-readable design tokens in YAML frontmatter with human-readable Markdown rationale, so an agent can preserve both exact design values and the reasoning behind them.
Why It Matters
This resource is useful when a project needs a portable design-system summary that coding agents can read before implementing or revising UI.
It is especially relevant for keeping visual direction, tokens, and component guidance close to a repository without requiring every task to re-explain the same design intent.
