What it does

This Chrome extension reads the active tab and pulls out six style categories—typography, colors, spacing, radius, shadows, and motion—then compiles them into a DESIGN.md or SKILL.md file. The output follows the open-source TypeUI format and is intended as a blueprint for AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Google Stitch.

The interesting bit

Rather than writing design-system documentation by hand, you point the tool at a live site and let it infer brand context, writing tone, accessibility rules, anti-patterns, and quality gates automatically. It treats the production site as the specification and reverse-engineers an agent-ready skill.

Key highlights

  • Extracts six style signals directly from the DOM: typography, colors, spacing, radius, shadows, and motion
  • Generates two output formats: a DESIGN.md design-system reference and a SKILL.md agent-ready skill file
  • Embeds WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility requirements and interaction constraints in every generated document
  • Output includes structured sections for brand context, writing tone, required practices, prohibited anti-patterns, and testable quality gates
  • Explicitly targets AI agents including Claude Code, Codex, and Google Stitch

Caveats

  • The README only documents manual unpacked installation; a Chrome Web Store release is not mentioned
  • The project does not disclose how it handles complex styling pipelines such as CSS-in-JS or dynamically injected styles

Verdict

Useful if you want to clone or extend an existing site’s aesthetic using AI agents and need a structured way to transport the design system. Not a design tool in its own right—think of it as a reverse compiler for visual taste.
