+Import a [DESIGN.md](https://github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-design-md) file as a design system preset. Parses the Google Stitch format and extracts colors, typography, spacing, and border radius. It also extracts reusable component skeletons (`button`, `card`, `badge`) from the "Component Styling" section — `apply_preset` then makes them available as instanceable components on the canvas.
