What it does

Extract Design is an agent skill from Manavarya09/design-extract. Extract the full design language from any website URL. Produces 8 output files including AI-optimized markdown, visual HTML preview, Tailwind config, React theme, shadcn/ui theme, Figma variables, W3C design tokens, and CSS variables. Also runs WCAG accessibility scoring. Use when user says 'extract design', 'get design system', 'design language', 'design tokens', 'what colors/fonts does this site use', or '/extract-design'.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design tokens, Accessibility and CSS and styling. It works with shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS, Figma and React. The repository describes itself as: Extract any website's complete design system with one command. DTCG tokens, semantic+primitive+composite, MCP server for Claude Code/Cursor/Windsurf, multi-platform emitters (iOS… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User says extract design
  • Get design system
  • Design language
  • What colors/fonts does this site use

Example prompts

  • “extract design”
  • “get design system”
  • “design language”
  • “/extract-design”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the generated markdown file to understand the design
  2. Present key findings to the user
  3. Offer next steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23b6c1b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Extract Design loads about 786 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 280 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~786

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

  1. Run the extraction on the provided URL:
bash
npx designlang <url> --screenshots

For multi-page crawling: npx designlang <url> --depth 3 --screenshots For dark mode: npx designlang <url> --dark --screenshots

  1. Read the generated markdown file to understand the design:
bash
cat design-extract-output/*-design-language.md
  1. Present key findings to the user:

    • Primary color palette with hex codes
    • Font families in use
    • Spacing system (base unit if detected)
    • WCAG accessibility score
    • Component patterns found
    • Notable design decisions (shadows, radii, etc.)
  2. Offer next steps:

    • Copy *-tailwind.config.js into their project
