Google's DESIGN.md CLI lints, diffs, and exports design tokens

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Google released a CLI tool for DESIGN.md files that runs via npx with no install. It offers lint, diff, export, and spec commands to validate tokens, catch regressions, and convert to Tailwind or DTCG formats. The tool returns structured JSON and exits non-zero on errors, enabling CI integration.

Meridian48 take
A practical developer tool that brings design token validation into CI pipelines, but its adoption hinges on teams already using the DESIGN.md format.
