Extracting UI components for design iteration involves pulling specific elements from your app's codebase into a sandbox environment. This skill handles dependencies and stubs external resources so the component renders correctly without altering production code.

Yes, you can preview existing UI components on a design canvas without changing production code. The skill extracts the component into a sandbox, stubs external dependencies, and embeds the result in an iframe on the canvas for safe visual review and modification.

Component extraction handles external dependencies by stubbing them in the mockup environment. This ensures the extracted UI component remains functional and visible on the canvas during design iteration without requiring the full production application context.

The best way to redesign a navigation bar component is to extract it into a mockup environment. This allows you to isolate the navbar, stub its dependencies, and make design changes while viewing the result immediately on a sandboxed canvas.

No, you do not need to modify your app's source code to use this UI component extraction skill. It preserves original code integrity by copying the component and its dependencies into an isolated mockup environment for design iteration.

You should use a sandbox environment for UI component extraction when you need to create design variants or reference existing components. It isolates the component and stubs external resources, allowing you to iterate on designs safely without breaking the main application.
