## Overview

A design system generator that bridges the gap between design and code. Describe your product, and get a production-ready system in seconds.

## Capabilities

### AI-Powered Generation

Describe your product in plain language and get a complete design system with tokens, components, and variables - generated in seconds, not weeks.

### Website Scanner

Paste any URL and Flash DS extracts the full design DNA - colors, spacing, typography, border radius, shadows, and component patterns - from the live site.

### Figma & Storybook Sync

Connect Figma files or Storybook instances directly. Flash DS reads your existing designs and maps them into a structured token system.

### Export Anywhere

Export your design system as CSS variables, Tailwind config, Tokens Studio JSON, or use it directly in Cursor and Claude to generate code that matches your brand.

### Component Intelligence

Flash DS doesn't just generate tokens - it detects and creates components with their exact padding, radius, typography, and color specs ready for development.

### Design ↔ Code Parity

The gap between Figma and code disappears. Flash DS generates the same variables for both - so what designers see is exactly what developers ship.
