design-extract · Use cases

  • Extract and analyze design systems from existing websites for implementation in new projects
  • Audit websites for design consistency, accessibility, and best practices
  • Generate cross-platform design tokens and component implementations (iOS, Android, web)
  • Compare design systems between multiple websites for brand consistency

filesystem · Use cases

  • Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
  • Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
  • Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

design-extract · Install

# Install globally
npm i -g designlang

# Or as an agent skill
npx skills add Manavarya09/design-extract

# Run MCP server directly
