SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to take existing UI components from your main application and bring them into a dedicated sandbox for redesign, variant creation, or visual reference, ensuring you work with the actual codebase as the source of truth.

Core Features & Use Cases

Component Extraction: Pulls components from your live application into a mockup environment.
Design Iteration: Enables redesigning, improving, or creating variants of existing UI elements.
Accurate Representation: Guarantees that the extracted component uses the exact code and styles from the main app, avoiding approximations.
Use Case: When a user asks to "redesign my current navbar" or "create variations of my user profile card," this skill extracts the existing navbar or card component to be worked on in isolation.

Quick Start

Use the mockup-extract skill to put the user's current settings page onto the canvas.

FAQPage Schema

How do I extract UI components from my application for redesign?▼

UI component extraction pulls elements from your live application into a mockup sandbox by analyzing dependency trees, rewriting import paths, and copying or stubbing external dependencies to isolate the exact source code for design iteration.

Can I redesign my current navbar without affecting the main codebase?▼

Yes, component extraction isolates UI elements like a navbar into a dedicated sandbox environment. It embeds the extracted component as an iframe on the canvas, ensuring design changes and variant creation occur separately from the main application code.

How does UI extraction handle external dependencies and global CSS imports?▼

UI extraction analyzes dependency trees and categorizes external dependencies as inline, copy, or stub. It rewrites import paths and embeds global CSS and font imports directly into the isolated iframe component to maintain accurate visual representation.

What is the best way to create design variants of existing UI components?▼

The best way to create design variants is using a mockup sandbox that extracts the actual component source code from your main application. This approach ensures visual iterations are based on exact code rather than approximations, preventing style discrepancies.

Why do my extracted UI components look different from the live application?▼

Extracted UI components may appear inconsistent if external dependencies, global CSS, or font imports are not properly stubbed or copied. The extraction process analyzes dependency trees and embeds these assets to guarantee the isolated component matches the main application exactly.

Do I need a mockup sandbox to iterate on frontend component designs?▼

A mockup sandbox is necessary for safe frontend component redesign because it isolates the extracted source code from your main application. This dedicated environment allows you to iterate on UI variants and rewrite import paths without risking codebase integration issues.
