Design Context Extract

Extract the "Design DNA" from existing applications — colors, typography, spacing, and component patterns — and output as structured tokens.

design-context-extract /tmp/screenshot.png       # From screenshot
design-context-extract /tmp/recording.mp4         # From screen recording (motion spec)
design-context-extract https://example.com        # From live URL
design-context-extract current project            # Scan project's existing styles

Step 0: Detect Input and Context

INPUT = ""

# 1. Create main task IMMEDIATELY
TaskCreate(subject="Extract design context: {INPUT}", description="Extract design DNA", activeForm="Extracting design from {INPUT}")

# 2. Create subtasks for each phase
TaskCreate(subject="Detect input type and context", activeForm="Detecting input type")             # id=2
TaskCreate(subject="Capture source material", activeForm="Capturing source")                       # id=3
TaskCreate(subject="Extract design tokens", activeForm="Extracting tokens")                        # id=4
TaskCreate(subject="Choose output format and generate", activeForm="Generating output")            # id=5
TaskCreate(subject="Recommend shadcn/ui style", activeForm="Recommending style")                   # id=6

# 3. Set dependencies for sequential phases
TaskUpdate(taskId="3", addBlockedBy=["2"])  # Capture needs input type detected
TaskUpdate(taskId="4", addBlockedBy=["3"])  # Extraction needs captured source
TaskUpdate(taskId="5", addBlockedBy=["4"])  # Output needs extracted tokens
TaskUpdate(taskId="6", addBlockedBy=["5"])  # Style recommendation needs output

# 4. Update status as you progress
TaskUpdate(taskId="2", status="in_progress")  # When starting
TaskUpdate(taskId="2", status="completed")    # When done — repeat for each subtask

# Determine input type
# "/path/to/file.png" → screenshot
# "/path/to/file.mp4|.mov|.webm|.gif" → screen recording (video pipeline)
# "http..." → URL
# "current project" → scan project styles
