DESIGN.md Design System Validatorv1.0.0

A frontend team uses DESIGN.md to ensure all UI components adhere to the design system before merging code. The lint command validates WCAG contrast ratios and token references, catching issues early.

When updating a design system, a team uses diff to compare old and new DESIGN.md files, detecting token additions, removals, and modifications. This helps identify regressions before deployment.

A developer exports design tokens from DESIGN.md to a Tailwind theme file, enabling direct use of design system values in utility-first CSS without manual mapping.

New designers read the project's DESIGN.md to understand the existing visual identity, then run lint to validate any proposed changes against the system's rules.

In a CI pipeline, the lint command checks DESIGN.md on each pull request, preventing broken tokens or inaccessible color combinations from entering production.

Offer the DESIGN.md validator as a free CLI tool, with premium features like advanced diff reports or integration with project management tools for a subscription fee.

Provide consulting to help organizations adopt DESIGN.md, including training, custom export templates, and workflow integration, charging per engagement.

Offer automated audits of existing design systems using the lint and diff commands, providing a detailed report of issues and recommendations, sold as a one-time service.
