generate-design-md

generate-design-md is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sso-ss/vibe-ship-it. It costs 110 tokens per session (7,290 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A tool that turns a website URL into a DESIGN.md file describing its colors, fonts, spacing, components, layout, and visual style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Capturing a site's visual system and producing matching Tailwind settings and CSS variables for a project.
Why use it?
It gives an AI coding agent a reusable description of a reference site's appearance instead of requiring the agent to guess the design.

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 B, and why

generate-design-md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 629 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate DESIGN.md

Takes a website URL and produces a complete DESIGN.md file -- a plain-text design system document that any AI coding agent can read to build UI that matches that site's look and feel.

How It Works

  1. Designer gives a URL
  2. Fetch the page HTML and all linked CSS
  3. Extract every visual token: colors, fonts, spacing, shadows, radii, component patterns
  4. Analyze the visual atmosphere and design philosophy
  5. Detect the page structure (sections, grids, layout patterns)
  6. Generate three files:
    • DESIGN.md -- the complete design system (9 sections)
    • Tailwind config extension -- tokens mapped to utility classes
    • CSS variables -- tokens as custom properties in globals.css
  7. Drop them in the project

One command. No questions. The designer just sees the result.

When To Use

  • "I like how linear.app looks -- capture that"
  • "Generate a design md from stripe.com"
  • "Make my app look like this site"
  • "Use vercel.com as a design reference"
  • "Grab the design from notion.so"
  • "Copy the style of airbnb.com"

Extraction Process

Step 1: Fetch (multi-pass)

Do multiple fetches to maximize what you capture:

Pass 1: HTML Fetch the target URL. From the HTML, extract:

  • All <link rel="stylesheet" href="..."> URLs
  • All <style> blocks (including <style data-*> for CSS-in-JS SSR output)
  • All style="..." inline attributes on elements
  • <meta name="theme-color" content="..."> for brand color
  • Google Fonts / Typekit <link> URLs (reveals exact font families and weights)
  • <link rel="icon"> and <link rel="apple-touch-icon"> (brand color clues)

Pass 2: CSS files Fetch each discovered stylesheet URL. If a URL returns 403/404:

  • Try removing query strings
  • Try the base domain + /styles.css, /main.css, /globals.css
  • Try common CDN patterns: cdn.example.com/css/...
  • Move on if blocked -- note which sources were inaccessible

Pass 3: Critical CSS extraction Many modern sites inline critical CSS in <style> tags in the <head>. This often contains:

  • CSS custom properties (:root { --color-primary: ... })
  • Font-face declarations
  • Key component styles
  • Media queries with breakpoints

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.
