design-extract
Extracts a complete design system from a screenshot, live URL, or existing app codebase: palette, type scale, spacing rhythm, radii, shadows, and a component inventory, then normalizes everything into deduplicated tokens, emits them in the target stack's format (CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, Flutter ThemeData, or SCSS variables), and generates a living styleguide page rendering every token and component state. Use when: 'extract the design system', 'pull the colors from this screenshot', 'copy this site's design', 'turn this UI into tokens', 'reverse-engineer this design', 'build a design system from our app', 'make a styleguide', 'tokenize our styles', 'what fonts and colors does this site use'.

What does the design-extract skill do?
Extracts a complete design system from a screenshot, live URL, or existing app codebase: palette, type scale, spacing rhythm, radii, shadows, and a component inventory, then normalizes everything into deduplicated tokens, emits them in the target stack's format (CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, Flutter ThemeData, or SCSS variables), and generates a living styleguide page rendering every token and component state. Use when: 'extract the design system', 'pull the colors from this screenshot', 'copy this site's design', 'turn this UI into tokens', 'reverse-engineer this design', 'build a design system from our app', 'make a styleguide', 'tokenize our styles', 'what fonts and colors does this site use'. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the design-extract skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install design-extract` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/design-extract/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does design-extract work with?
design-extract runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the design-extract skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use design-extract after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/design-extract` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the design-extract skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
