Safari Model Context Protocol Server for Agentic Web Debugging

Apple has integrated a Model Context Protocol server into Safari Technology Preview 247, enabling AI agents to inspect and control a live browser window directly. This allows agentic coders to query the Document Object Model, evaluate JavaScript, and capture screenshots autonomously.

DESIGN.md Format Specification to Document Design Systems for AI Agents

A new format specification, DESIGN.md (published under @google/design.md), pairs machine-readable YAML design tokens with human-readable markdown prose. It gives coding agents a persistent, structured understanding of a design system, helping them apply consistent color palettes, typography, and contrast standards.
