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."

  • Write a README that explains setup in minutes
  • Structure docs into tutorials, how-tos and reference
  • Keep AGENTS.md in step with the codebase
