extract-design-system

extract-design-system is a skill for Claude Code from nathanonn/agent-skills. It costs 178 tokens per session (2,928 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for extracting a website’s design rules and reusable interface patterns into a bundle for coding agents. It covers visual tokens such as colors and spacing, plus components, states, and page-section patterns from a live URL.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a live website, discover its pages, extract design tokens, review components and interaction states, identify section patterns, and save the resulting bundle under a domain-specific folder.
Why use it?
It helps an agent build new pages that match an existing brand instead of guessing its visual language. The process organizes evidence from the site and validates the resulting design bundle.

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-system 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (scripts/build-fixtures.js, scripts/build-snippets.js, scripts/cluster.js, …), 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.

Extract a full design system bundle

Given a live URL, run the 9-stage pipeline and emit a bundle under .design_systems/<domain>-YYYYMMDD/ (host dots→hyphens). The output bundle layout and the AGENTS.md consumption template are specified in references/output-bundle-spec.md.

URL ─▶ 1 DISCOVER ─▶ 2 TOKENS ─▶ 3 COMPONENT SWEEP ─▶ 4 CLUSTER + CURATE
    ─▶ 5 DISTILL ─▶ 6 STATES ─▶ 7 SECTIONS ─▶ 8 SYNTHESIZE ─▶ 9 VALIDATE

Prerequisites

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

  • playwright-cli on PATH — the in-browser extraction, component sweep, 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 files 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.

file:// URLs are blocked by playwright-cli — serve local HTML with python3 -m http.server <port> and kill the server by PID afterwards (a pkill -f pattern can match your own shell).

Let SKILL = this skill's directory. Session name: S=dsys. Compose→run→slice pattern for every in-page script:

playwright-cli -s=$S run-code "$(cat script.js)" | bash "$SKILL/scripts/slice-result.sh" > out.json

Two scripts are templates with a __-placeholder substituted per page (distill.js → COMPONENTS, eval-selftest.js → FIXTURES). Compose with tpl.replace('<placeholder>', JSON), then node --check the result. The placeholder literal must appear exactly once in each template, in code — never add it to a comment (this bug has now happened twice).

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.
