extract-design-md

extract-design-md is a skill for Claude Code from nathanonn/agent-skills. It costs 177 tokens per session (3,397 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that examines a live website and records its visual design in a DESIGN.md file. It captures details such as colors, fonts, spacing, rounded corners, components, and the site's overall feel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a site's design for a coding agent, so the agent can build new pages that match the original brand.
Why use it?
It removes the need to guess a website's visual rules when recreating or extending its interface.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

extract-design-md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/extract-tokens.js, scripts/slice-result.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 264 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Extract DESIGN.md from a site

Given a live URL, produce a DESIGN.md — YAML design tokens (colors, typography, rounded, spacing, components) plus prose in canonical section order — good enough to hand a coding agent so it builds new UI matching the source site.

Core idea (from research): tokens map ~1:1 to a site's CSS custom properties + computed styles, so the heavy lifting is a cheap in-browser extraction — not vision. Screenshots feed prose only. The official linter is a free quality gate.

        ─▶ 4 CAPTURE FEEL ─▶ 5 SYNTHESIZE ─▶ 6 VALIDATE ─▶ DESIGN.md

Prerequisites

This skill drives three external tools — make sure each is available before running:

  • playwright-cli on PATH — the in-browser extraction and screenshots run through it. Install once with npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest then playwright-cli install --skills (needs Node.js 18+). Check: which playwright-cli.
  • A reachable Firecrawl instance — used for page discovery (firecrawl map) and optional copy scraping. The hosted API or a self-hosted / local instance both work; if Firecrawl is unreachable the skill falls back to playwright link discovery (thinner page coverage). Confirm your instance responds before a run.
  • npx (Node.js) — pulls the official @google/design.md linter on demand for the quality gate. If it's unavailable the skill writes the file anyway and notes "lint skipped".

If your agent sandboxes network or filesystem access, allow the outbound calls this skill makes (headless browsing, Firecrawl, npx) before running.

Let SKILL = this skill's directory. Pick a stable playwright session name, e.g. S=designmd.

Flags

Flag Default Effect
<url> required Entry-point URL
--pages <n> 5 Max pages to sample
--pages-list <paths> auto Pin exact pages (skips the confirm prompt)
--no-screenshots shots ON Skip the feel pass; prose then leans on token names + copy
--theme <auto|light|dark|both> auto auto detects; both forces dual; light/dark pin one
--out <dir> .design_mds/<domain>-YYYYMMDD/ Output folder
--no-lint lint ON Skip the linter (auto-skips if npx is unavailable)

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
