Summary
DesignMD is a tool that analyzes live websites by examining their DOM/CSSOM structure to extract design system primitives such as CSS variables, spacing scales, typography systems, color tokens, breakpoints, and interaction patterns. It converts real implementation details into structured, reusable design system formats for documentation, recreation, or AI-assisted workflows, targeting designers, frontend engineers, and AI builders.
