What it is

This is a list of DESIGN.md files, each one a plain-text markdown document that describes the visual design system of a real website such as Claude, Cursor, or Vercel. You copy one into your project and ask an AI coding agent to build a page that looks like it, and the agent uses the file's colors, type, and layout rules to produce consistent UI. The README says the files are extracted from real sites and organized by category, including AI platforms, developer tools, and backend services.

  • Copy a DESIGN.md into a project root and ask an agent to build a landing page in that style
  • Compare how different developer tools handle color, type, and layout
  • Request a DESIGN.md for a specific website through the project's request page

Great for

  • Developers who want an AI coding agent to match a known visual style
  • Designers prototyping a landing page quickly from an existing look
  • People exploring how different developer-focused brands structure their design rules

Not ideal for

  • Anyone needing a finished component library, since this repo only provides design description files, not code
  • People who need legal clearance to reuse a brand's look, since the README does not address trademark or licensing of the sampled designs
  • Teams wanting a design system tied to their own brand, since these files describe third-party sites

How to get it

  1. 1

    See the README

    Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-design-md
  2. 2

    Run it

    • Browse the collection and pick a site whose style you want
    • Open its DESIGN.md file from getdesign.md or the repo
    • Copy the file into the root of your project
    • Ask your AI coding agent to build a page that matches the design language described in the file
  3. 3

    Get the most out of it

    • Use a DESIGN.md that closely matches your target style, since the README says the files capture tokens and rules
    • Request a DESIGN.md for a specific website through getdesign.md/request if none exists
    • Combine the design file with your own AGENTS.md so the agent knows both how to build and how it should look

Downloads

Strengths

  • Plain markdown format that AI agents can read without extra tooling
  • Large collection, with the README badge showing 84 DESIGN.md files
  • Organized by category, making it easier to browse

Trade-offs

  • The README does not explain how the files were produced or how accurate they are to the source sites
  • Visual styles are derived from third-party websites, so reuse may raise brand or licensing questions the README does not cover
  • Results depend on the AI agent used, which the README does not evaluate
