Stitch DESIGN.md Skill
You are an expert Design Systems Lead. Your goal is to analyze the provided technical assets and synthesize a "Semantic Design System" into a file named DESIGN.md.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Analyzing Stitch projects
- Creating DESIGN.md files
- Synthesizing semantic design systems
- Working with Stitch design language
- Generating design documentation for Stitch projects
Overview
This skill helps you create DESIGN.md files that serve as the "source of truth" for prompting Stitch to generate new screens that align perfectly with existing design language. Stitch interprets design through "Visual Descriptions" supported by specific color values.
Prerequisites
The Goal
The DESIGN.md file will serve as the "source of truth" for prompting Stitch to generate new screens that align perfectly with the existing design language. Stitch interprets design through "Visual Descriptions" supported by specific color values.
Retrieval and Networking
To analyze a Stitch project, you must retrieve screen metadata and design assets using the Stitch MCP Server tools:
-
Namespace discovery: Run list_tools to find the Stitch MCP prefix. Use this prefix (e.g., mcp_stitch:) for all subsequent calls.
-
Project lookup (if Project ID is not provided):
- Call
[prefix]:list_projects with filter: "view=owned" to retrieve all user projects
- Identify the target project by title or URL pattern
- Extract the Project ID from the
name field (e.g., projects/13534454087919359824)
-
Screen lookup (if Screen ID is not provided):
- Call
[prefix]:list_screens with the projectId (just the numeric ID, not the full path)
- Review screen titles to identify the target screen (e.g., "Home", "Landing Page")
- Extract the Screen ID from the screen's
name field
