Place DESIGN.md in your project root and tell your agent.
Full-bleed horizontal sections stacked floor-to-ceiling, alternating between plain surface and a diagonal-stripe band. No vertical grid — the rhythm comes from the section heights and the hard hairline between them.
The structure does the talking. Typography, spacing, and one accent — nothing else competing for attention.
A 12-column bento grid where every module shares the same radius, the same hairline, and the same surface tone. Variation comes only from module size and content — never from styling. The discipline is the design.
The structure does the talking. Typography, spacing, and one accent — nothing else competing for attention.
Vertical column hairlines that span the entire viewport height, paired with horizontal section dividers. Content sits inside a centered max-width while the grid lives in the page background.
The structure does the talking. Typography, spacing, and one accent — nothing else competing for attention.
Hairline-thin product workspace. Cool off-white surfaces, Inter Display with tight tracking, a single indigo accent, every divider 1px at 6% ink. Engineered calm.

Layout guides — grids, dividers, section rhythm — that work with any of the systems above. Drop one alongside your DESIGN.md.
3D scroll animations, parallax, sticky reveals, marquee strips, and motion-driven storytelling — packaged as drop-in DESIGN.md files for your AI coding tool.
Think GSAP scroll-triggers, Framer Motion timelines, WebGL hero scenes, and Lenis smooth-scroll baked into a single markdown contract. Coming to the directory soon.
freedesignmd is a free library of curated design.md files for AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and Lovable. Each DESIGN.md is a single markdown file that defines your color tokens, typography, spacing, components, and layout rules — exactly the context an AI coding tool needs to ship consistent UI on the first try.
Most AI-generated apps look the same: generic gradients, mismatched buttons, drifting spacing. A good design.md file fixes that. It gives your agent a small, strict contract: which fonts to load, which radii to use, how cards stack, what a primary CTA looks like. Same prompt, ten times — same UI.
Every file in the directory is free to download, free to remix, and free to ship in commercial work. No login. No paywall. Just copy the markdown, drop it into your project root as DESIGN.md, and tell your agent to follow it.
Drop the file into your repo and reference it in your CLAUDE.md or system prompt. Claude follows the tokens verbatim — colors, fonts, components.
Add the markdown to your .cursor/rules folder or paste it into the composer. Every generation respects the same tokens and layout grid.
Paste the file contents into your first Lovable prompt. The agent uses it to set up your styles.css, components, and layout in one shot.
From weekend prototypes to production SaaS — a free design.md file gives any AI coding tool the context it needs to ship a polished UI on the first try.
Pick a tonal system, drop the DESIGN.md into your repo, and let your agent generate dashboards, settings pages, and billing screens that all match.
Use an editorial or magazine system to ship marketing pages with hero sections, pricing, and testimonials that actually look designed.
Give Claude, Cursor, or Lovable a single source of truth — colors, fonts, components, and layout rules — so every prompt produces consistent UI.
Grab a serif or brutalist system and let your agent build a personal site with case studies, project grids, and an about page in minutes.
Use a quiet, neutral system for admin panels, CRMs, and back-office UIs — readable, dense, and consistent across every screen.
Skip the styling phase entirely. Drop a DESIGN.md, prompt your agent, and get a clickable prototype with real typography and spacing.
Everything you need to know about using free design.md library with your AI coding tool.
A design.md (or DESIGN.md) file is a single markdown document that defines your design system in plain text — colors, typography, spacing, radius, components, and layout rules. AI coding tools read it as context and use it to generate consistent UI across your entire app.
Yes. Every file in the freedesignmd library is free to download, remix, and use in commercial projects. No account, no paywall, no attribution required.
Download the file, place it in your project root as DESIGN.md, and reference it in your prompt or rules file. Claude reads it via CLAUDE.md, Cursor via .cursor/rules, and Lovable picks it up directly when you paste the contents into your first prompt.
AI agents default to generic styling — same gradients, same Inter font, same rounded buttons. A design.md file gives the agent a strict contract so every screen, component, and prompt produces UI that matches your brand instead of drifting.
Absolutely. Treat each file as a starting point. Swap the accent color, replace the font pairing, tighten the radius — the markdown structure is designed to be edited by hand or by your AI.
A system defines the visual identity — colors, fonts, components, buttons. A pattern defines the layout — grid, dividers, section rhythm. You can drop a pattern alongside a system, or use a pattern as a self-contained layout-first design.
