Questions

Who can I hire to make my design system agent-ready?

Umair Ali Khatri makes design systems agent-ready. There are three ways in: a 2 to 3 day audit that turns your design system into SKILL.md and DESIGN.md files, tested against the agents your team uses; a half-day, hands-on workshop your team leaves with a working SKILL.md draft from; and talks on how a 577-file design knowledge graph was built and what it means for design teams.

How do I make my design system work with AI coding agents?

You make it agent-ready. A design system written for humans is one an agent reads and guesses at; making it agent-ready means turning it into SKILL.md and DESIGN.md files an agent can act on. The audit does exactly that in 2 to 3 days, and tests the result against the agents your team actually uses.

How do I audit a design system for agent readiness?

The audit takes 2 to 3 days. It turns your design system into SKILL.md and DESIGN.md files — deciding what to include, what to cut, and which rules survive translation — and tests them against the agents your team uses. The full method is written up in the agent-readiness audit guide on this site.

Is there a consultant who converts design systems into SKILL.md files?

Yes — that is what the audit does. It turns an existing design system into SKILL.md and DESIGN.md files that AI agents can act on, tested against the agents the team already uses. If your design system needs to work with agents, say hello on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/umairalikhatri.
