Individual skill
stitch::extract-design-md
Extract a comprehensive design system (DESIGN.md) directly from frontend source code — React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, plain HTML/CSS, or any web framework. Analyzes component files, stylesheets, Tailwind configs, theme definitions, and design tokens to produce a rich, Stitch-compatible design system document. Use this skill whenever the user wants to reverse-engineer a design system from an existing codebase, audit the visual language of a project, extract design tokens from source files, or understand the styling patterns in a frontend repo — even if they just say "what does this app look like?" or "pull out the design from this code."

# Extract Design System from Frontend Code
Analyze frontend source code to extract a comprehensive design system document
(DESIGN.md) that captures the project's visual language — colors, typography,
spacing, component patterns, and layout principles — directly from the source
files, without needing to build or render the application.
## Why This Exists
The `design-md` skill works from rendered HTML. But often you have a codebase
and want to understand its design system before you can even run the app —
maybe dependencies are missing, the build is broken, or you just want a quick
audit. This skill reads the source files themselves: stylesheets, component
files, theme configs, and Tailwind setups. It's faster and works anywhere.
