how to use Google's NEW open source Design.md + AI Skills to make your startup look like a $100 million company in 1 hour:
1. Design.md is an open source file from Google that captures the soul of a design. Typography, colors, spacing, all in one markdown file. You attach it to your prompt and your agent builds beautiful things every time.
2. Think of it this way. The HTML is the finished dish. The design.md is the recipe. The skills are the ingredients. Put them together and everything you build looks consistent and professional.
3. Don't create a design system from scratch. Find a brand you love. Linear, Stripe, Vercel, whatever resonates. Study it. Use ChatGPT or Claude to help you extract the design language into your own design.md file.
4. Build skills on top of your design.md. A landing page skill. A mobile app skill. A motion design skill. A slide deck skill. Each one references the same design.md so everything looks like it came from the same designer.
5. The biggest mistake people make: they nail one screen and then everything else looks generic. Design.md solves this. One file keeps every page, every format, every medium consistent.
6. Use it across everything. Your landing page. Your app. Your pitch deck. Your promo videos. Same DNA. Same taste. Same system. That's what separates a startup that looks real from one that looks vibe-coded.
7. Build a second brain for design inspiration. When you see something beautiful in the real world or online, capture it. Save it. When you're building something new, reference it. Taste is developed, not downloaded.
8. It's obvious but the difference between a product people trust and a product people bounce from is how it looks and feels. Design.md gives you that edge.

这周我认为所有在投资和创业的人必读的两篇文章。⭐️
1⃣一篇是晚点对大疆创始人汪涛的采访,汪涛几乎从来没在媒体上有过发言,这可能是十年内第一次汪涛接受采访。
如果你正在创业、正在做产品、这几乎是你必读的一篇访谈。看完你一定会浑身舒坦,大呼一声爽。
2⃣另一篇是Amazon CEO Andy Jassy的致股东信。
如果你正在投资、正在投资AI板块、更具体点投资数据中心产业链上下游,这篇文章不读会让你错过一个亿,不开玩笑。
这两篇链接我放评论区了。
别用AI帮你简读,在这件事上你的时间没那么宝贵。
