About Awesome Design.md
What it does
Awesome Design.md is a curated collection of DESIGN.md files, one per brand, that capture how a real product's UI is actually built: colour palette with semantic roles, typography hierarchy, component styling and states, layout principles, shadow/depth system, and responsive breakpoints. Drop the file for a brand you want to emulate into your project and tell your coding agent to follow it.
What is inside
- 73+ DESIGN.md files spanning AI platforms, developer tools, fintech, automotive, and other categories
- A
preview.htmlandpreview-dark.htmlper entry so you can eyeball the colour and type system before using it - Quick colour references and ready-to-use prompts for handing the file to an agent
Works with
No special plugin or loader is required — any AI coding agent (or Google Stitch itself) that can read a markdown file in your repo can use it; the README calls out Claude and Cursor by name alongside general AI code-generation tools.
How to install or connect
# copy the DESIGN.md for the brand you want into your project root
cp path/to/DESIGN.md ./DESIGN.md
# then in your agent, e.g.:
# "Follow DESIGN.md for all styling in this project"
Maintenance and safety
MIT licensed with over 117,000 GitHub stars and 13,000 forks, though the underlying content is a relatively small set of files (62 commits, 73 entries) rather than a large actively-growing codebase. The repo explicitly disclaims warranty on the extracted tokens since they're derived from publicly visible CSS, not official brand assets — don't present them as an official brand kit.
Who should use it
Developers who want an agent to match a specific, well-known product's look and feel quickly, or anyone bootstrapping a UI who wants a concrete, structured starting point instead of prompting an agent to invent a design system from scratch.
Pros
- Real, structured design tokens (colour roles, type scale, component states, spacing, shadows, breakpoints) extracted from 73+ live brand sites, not just links o
- Zero setup: copy one DESIGN.md into a project root and reference it in a prompt; each entry ships an HTML colour/type preview to sanity-check it first
- Follows Google Stitch's public DESIGN.md convention, so it works with any AI coding agent that can read a markdown file, not a proprietary format
Cons
- It's a curated reference collection, not executable tooling — value depends entirely on how closely your project matches one of the 73 covered brands
- Tokens are reverse-engineered from public CSS ('as-is, no warranty' per the repo), so treat them as a strong starting point rather than an exact brand-compliant
