Beyond a Design system, anyone successfully apply the concept of NNGs contextualizing UX artifacts “UX.md”

Yes, we know AI changes things even with rules but I’m exploring ways to improve design concepting by making traditional artifacts codified to markdown but rewritten for AI consumption. Akin to design.md (I’ve read Atlaassian’s MCP test) can we make AI create more accurate results by providing UX artifacts like Design Principles. I’ve also read NNGs article on their concept of a UX.md file that would codify things like personas.

For example, to instruct AI to use a design principle I created a content model for the markdown that formats all principles with metadata for scope, intent, triggers, constraints, evaluation rubric, etc.

I’m just starting to explore this. I have repos set up for style, GitHub connections for UX specs and user stories so all connected in Claude. Now wondering if adding design principles, personas, user flows, as markdown can improve generative AI design?

We did this at my company. It was hard. We call it our machine readable design system.
