Design.md is nice for landing pages and niche products. but a full enterprise grade design system needs a knowledge base. and this is what the Design Cortex is doing for you!
Every time an agent builds UI, it queries Figma live. It's slow, it burns tokens, and it breaks mid-task. Like onboarding a brilliant teammate who forgets where the design system lives every single morning. 🙃
Design Cortex fixes that. Point an AI agent at your Figma design system once, and it generates a full Markdown knowledge base: every component, variant, token, and composition rule. After that, any agent (Claude Code, Cursor, whatever you use) reads the KB at session start instead of reopening Figma.
No API keys. No Python. No infrastructure. Just an agent, a Figma MCP, and a folder of Markdown.
It's built to scale too. I stress-tested it on ~530 components, ~5,000 variants and 1,439 tokens by fanning the work across parallel sub-agents and sampling the giant stuff.
Fully open source. Setup is one line:
npx design-cortex init

Try it on your own system, break it, and tell me what's missing. 🙏
