SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of understanding a project's visual language when documentation is missing, the app is unbuildable, or you need a rapid audit of styling patterns across a codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Design Extraction: Parses stylesheets, component files, and configuration files to identify colors, typography, spacing, and layout principles.
  • Stitch Compatibility: Generates a structured DESIGN.md file that is ready for use with Stitch, enabling seamless design system migration or documentation.
  • Use Case: You are tasked with refactoring a legacy React project but don't know the intended color palette or spacing scale. Use this skill to generate a comprehensive design system document directly from the source files.

Quick Start

Use the stitch::extract-design-md skill to analyze the current directory and generate a DESIGN.md file capturing the project's visual language.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract a design system from existing frontend source code?

To extract a design system from frontend source code, parse stylesheets, component files, and configuration files to identify color palettes, typography scales, and spacing patterns. This process reverse-engineers project-specific styling conventions and maps them to standardized design tokens for documentation.

Can I reverse-engineer design tokens from React component styling patterns?

Yes, you can reverse-engineer design tokens from React component styling patterns by analyzing project-specific configuration files and component definitions. The extraction process maps framework-specific styling conventions to standardized design tokens, synthesizing a structured design system document.

Does design system extraction support diverse frontend frameworks beyond React?

Design system extraction supports diverse frontend frameworks by mapping framework-specific styling conventions to standardized design tokens. It analyzes stylesheets and component definitions regardless of the specific framework used, generating a comprehensive structured design system document.

How do I audit styling patterns across a codebase when the app is unbuildable?

To audit styling patterns across a codebase when the app is unbuildable, parse the source files directly to identify colors, typography, and layout principles. This extraction method analyzes stylesheets and component files to synthesize a structured design system document without building the application.

What limitations exist when reverse-engineering design systems from stylesheets?

Limitations when reverse-engineering design systems from stylesheets include reliance on the presence of explicit styling conventions in configuration files and component definitions. The extraction quality depends on how consistently the original source code defines colors, typography, and spacing patterns.
