Reverse-engineer any design system. Pure static analysis. No AI, no API keys.

Point skillui at any website, git repo, or local project and get exact colors, fonts, spacing, components, and animations packaged as a .skill file Claude can read.

npm install -g skillui
skillui --url https://yoursite.com --mode ultra

---

What it does

skillui crawls your target and extracts:

Everything is packaged into a .skill ZIP file inside the output folder.

---

Install

npm install -g skillui

Requires Node.js 18+.

For ultra mode visual extraction, install Playwright separately:

npm install playwright
npx playwright install chromium

---

Usage

Crawl a website

skillui --url https://linear.app

Ultra mode (full cinematic extraction)

skillui --url https://linear.app --mode ultra

Ultra mode adds:

• 7 scroll journey screenshots showing the page at each scroll depth
• Hover/focus interaction state diffs
• Full CSS keyframe extraction
• Animation library detection (GSAP, Lottie, Three.js, AOS, etc.)
• Video background first-frame capture
• DOM component fingerprinting
• Flex/grid layout extraction

Scan a local project

skillui --dir ./my-app

Clone and scan a git repo

skillui --repo https://github.com/org/repo

All flags

skillui --url            Crawl a live website
skillui --dir           Scan a local project directory
skillui --repo           Clone and scan a git repository

--mode ultra                  Enable cinematic extraction (requires Playwright)
--screens                  Pages to crawl in ultra mode (default: 5, max: 20)
--out                   Output directory (default: ./)
--name                Override the project name
--format design-md|skill|both Output format (default: both)
--no-skill                    Output DESIGN.md only, skip .skill packaging

---

Use with Claude Code

After running skillui, open the output folder with Claude Code:

cd linear-design && claude

Then ask Claude to build your UI:

“Build me a dashboard that matches the Linear design system”

Claude automatically reads CLAUDE.md and SKILL.md from the folder, which contain the full design system context. It uses the colors, typography, spacing, components, animations, and screenshots to generate an HTML file matching the exact visual language of the site.

Examples

# Extract Nothing.tech design system with full ultra mode
skillui --url https://nothing.tech --mode ultra --screens 10

# Scan a local Next.js app
skillui --dir ./my-nextjs-app --name "MyApp"

# Clone and analyze a public repo
skillui --repo https://github.com/vercel/next.js --name "Next.js"

# Output only DESIGN.md, no .skill packaging
skillui --url https://stripe.com --format design-md

# Save output to a specific directory
skillui --url https://linear.app --out ./design-systems

---

How it works

skillui uses pure static analysis. No AI, no API keys, no cloud.

• URL mode fetches HTML, crawls all linked CSS files, extracts computed styles via Playwright DOM inspection
• Dir mode scans all .css, .scss, .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx files for design tokens, Tailwind config, CSS variables, and component patterns
• Repo mode clones the repo to a temp directory and runs dir mode
• Ultra mode runs Playwright to capture scroll journey screenshots, detect animation libraries from window.* globals, extract @keyframes from document.styleSheets, capture hover/focus state diffs, and fingerprint DOM components

---

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• For --mode ultra: Playwright (npm install playwright && npx playwright install chromium)
