Bake your brand system into the repo: DESIGN.md + agent templates
A DESIGN.md and a set of template files living in your project root — Claude Code, Cursor and other AI coding agents read them instead of guessing colors. Zero runtime dependency, versioned with the repo, works offline.
What's inside
Everything lives in the colorwaykit-for-agents repository — free to copy.
templates/SKILL.mdAgent skills / tool instructions — for agents that support skills.
templates/AGENTS.mdRepo-level agent instructions that many tools read.
templates/CLAUDE.mdClaude Code project memory.
templates/cursorrules.mdCursor rules (rename to .cursorrules on install).
examples/DESIGN.mdA complete example generated from brand color #4F46E5 — real output, not a hand-written demo.
colorwaykit-lintCLI checker (ships with the repo, runs on Node 18+): scans for wild hex values and validates WCAG pairs — exit codes ready for CI.
docs/migration-extracted-css.mdMigration guide: raw hex values from DevTools or extraction tools → semantic roles → measured pairs, with a real worked example.
Three steps to start
Copy a template from GitHub
Pick the template that matches your tool, drop it into the project root, adapt the paths.
Generate DESIGN.md with the Brand Theme Engine
Paste your brand hex, tune light & dark, export DESIGN.md from the Take it to dev tab.
Let the agent follow it
The agent reads DESIGN.md from the repo; keep new colors honest with colorwaykit-lint.
Skills or MCP?
Skills (this page)
The file way: zero runtime dependency, versioned with the repo, works offline — for baking the brand system into the codebase for CI and teammates.
MCP (live)
Always reads the latest engine, works across every project, metered per account — for daily development where the agent pulls verified tokens on demand.

Grab the templates on GitHub
All templates and the example live in the colorwaykit-for-agents repository: copy freely, adapt as needed, wire DESIGN.md in and your agent follows.
