extract-structure

A read-only interpreter for component structure data exported by the uSpec Extract Figma plugin. It turns variant axes, dimensions, sub-components, slots, and differences into normalized JSON.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze a component’s structure specification, resolve ownership and overrides, identify anomalies, and prepare data for component documentation.
Why use it?
It makes exported component measurements easier for later documentation or code-generation steps to use without making additional Figma calls.

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-structure 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 2d ago.

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 Structure Data

Interpretation-only companion to create-structure. This skill does not extract data from Figma. It reads {cachePath}/{componentSlug}-_base.json (produced by the uSpec Extract Figma plugin), applies the same reasoning layer as create-structure, and writes the normalized StructureSpecData JSON to disk for the create-component-md orchestrator to consume.

Quality contract: every reasoning step (section planning, ownership resolution, override promotion, design-intent notes, anomaly detection) mirrors create-structure/SKILL.md. Any improvement to structure-extraction quality must be made in both places.

Batch-mode contract. This skill MUST NOT call AskQuestion, prompt for confirmation, or pause for user input. When a value cannot be resolved from _base.json (and a Step 3-delta doesn't recover it), emit a row with provenance: "not-measured" and values: ["—", …] instead of asking. No mid-interpretation clarifications.

Invocation Contract

The orchestrator calls this skill with these inputs (already resolved — do NOT re-parse URLs or re-read uspecs.config.json):

  • componentSlug — filename-safe slug
  • cachePath — cache directory, typically .uspec-cache/{componentSlug}/
  • optionalContext — free-form string from the user (may be "none")
  • mcpProviderfigma-console or figma-mcp (only needed if a Step 3-delta escape hatch fires AND a live Figma link was provided to the orchestrator)
  • deltaAvailable — boolean. When the orchestrator received only a baseJsonPath (no figmaLink), this is false and the Step 3-delta escape hatch must not fire; log the gap in data._deltaExtractions[] with unavailable: "no-figma-link" and continue with best-effort output.
  • apiDictionaryPath — absolute or workspace-relative path to {cachePath}/{componentSlug}-api-dictionary.json. Optional. When present, this file is the canonical vocabulary for axis/value/sub-component/state naming (see Step 2.5). When absent, the skill continues with _dictionaryUnavailable: true in its output envelope and the renderer treats the produced cache as lower-confidence.
  • evidencePath — optional. Path to {cachePath}/{componentSlug}-evidence-structure.json from CLI prepare. When present and hash-valid, use data as the Step 3 working evidence set.

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.

extract-structure is a skill published in the GitHub repository redongreen/uSpec (239 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 13,072 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
