Write DESIGN.md prose that AI agents can follow
A guide explains how to write DESIGN.md files that AI agents can interpret, focusing on intent and rules rather than just values. Strong prose gives agents rules they can apply to unlisted situations, with sections like Do's and Don'ts preventing off-brand output. The approach leverages LLMs' high fidelity in reading markdown to enforce design consistency.

While the advice is solid for teams using AI agents in design, the real test is whether agents can reliably parse nuanced intent at scale.
