designlang points a headless browser at any URL and reads the design system off the live DOM. One command emits 17+ files — DTCG tokens, Tailwind config, shadcn theme, Figma variables, motion tokens, typed component anatomy, brand voice, page-intent labels, and a paste-ready prompt pack for v0 / Lovable / Cursor / Claude Artifacts.

It also goes where extractors don't: layout patterns, responsive behavior across 4 breakpoints, hover / focus / active states, WCAG contrast scoring, multi-page consistency, drift checks against a live source-of-truth, visual-diffs, and a shareable graded report card.

Whole-site design system (site)

Most extractors read a single URL. designlang site crawls a site's canonical pages (home, pricing, docs, blog, about, product…) and synthesizes one de-duplicated system. Every token is elected by coverage — the share of pages that use it — so what's genuinely site-wide is separated from one-off, page-local choices. Near-identical colours are merged in OKLab. It's fully deterministic and free; no API key.

npx designlang site stripe.com --max-pages 8

You get, alongside the standard pack emitted from the canonical system:

File	What it is
*-site-system.json	canonical unified tokens + coverage + drift
*-site-coverage.md	every token tagged 🟢 site-wide / 🟡 section / 🔴 page-local, with the pages using it
*-site-consistency.md	a 0–100 consistency grade, per-category breakdown, and the off-system outliers to consolidate

Measured clone fidelity (fidelity + gallery)

Cloning tools all claim "pixel-perfect" — none of them measure it. designlang fidelity does. Point it at the original and your clone (often a local dev server) and it returns one honest number, both halves of the clone:

• Visual — full-page screenshots of each, pixel-diffed.
• Motion — extractMotion() on both, compared across feel, durations, easings, springs, keyframe kinds, scroll-linked motion, and choreography/ stagger. (Most clones reproduce static pixels and drop the motion entirely; this is where they lose.)

The two blend into a 0–100 score + letter grade, and — the part competitors don't ship — a ranked correction plan: the exact next edits that will raise the score, hardest-hitting first. Measure → fix → re-run until it converges.

npx designlang fidelity https://stripe.com --clone http://localhost:3000
npx designlang fidelity https://stripe.com --clone http://localhost:3000 --min 90   # CI gate

Generating the clone with designlang clone? Add --fidelity and it grades the clone's token basis against the live site the moment it's built — writing FIDELITY.md + a correction plan straight into the project, no separate step:

npx designlang clone https://stripe.com --fidelity

You get fidelity.md (score + motion table + correction plan), fidelity.json, a shareable fidelity-card.svg (88% · B · stripe.com), and a fidelity-diff.png loss heatmap.

Then publish them. designlang gallery scans your reports and builds a deployable static site — an index of score cards plus a permalink page per clone (each with an OG card, so a shared link unfurls the number).

npx designlang gallery --title "Our clones" --base-url https://clones.example.com

Install

npm i -g designlang                         # global
npx skills add Manavarya09/design-extract   # as an agent skill (40+ agents)

Use in Claude Code (plugin)

designlang ships as a Claude Code plugin — eleven slash commands that wrap the CLI. Install it from inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Manavarya09/design-extract
/plugin install designlang@designlang

The first command registers this repo as a plugin marketplace; the second installs the designlang plugin from it. Restart Claude Code if prompted, then the commands are available:

Command	What it does
/extract <url>	full design language → DTCG, Tailwind, Figma, motion, voice
/site <url>	crawl a whole site → one canonical design system + consistency grade
/grade <url>	shareable HTML report card + SVG badge
/battle <a> <b>	head-to-head graded comparison
/remix <url> --as <vocab>	restyle in 6 vocabularies (brutalist, swiss, art-deco, cyberpunk, soft-ui, editorial)
/pack <url>	one downloadable design-system bundle
/theme-swap <url>	OKLCH-correct recolour around a new brand primary
/brand <url>	full editorial brand-guidelines book (13 chapters)
/pair <a> <b>	fuse two designs across configurable axes
/studio	live token editor — preview, dark mode, export, share
/verify <url>	rebuild from tokens, pixel-diff vs live, fidelity score
/fidelity <url> --clone <url>	score a clone vs the original (visual + motion) + correction plan
/gallery [dir]	build a static shareable gallery of measured clones

Prefer the raw MCP tools? The CLI also ships an MCP server — run designlang mcp --output-dir ./design-extract-output to serve the latest extraction's tokens to any MCP client.

Atlas Cloud for --smart

designlang --smart can now use Atlas Cloud through its OpenAI-compatible chat API, so low-confidence classifiers can stay zero-dependency while routing to Atlas-hosted models.

export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="<atlascloud-api-key>"
export ATLASCLOUD_MODEL="deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-pro"

npx designlang https://stripe.com --smart

• Atlas Cloud envs: ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY, ATLASCLOUD_MODEL, optional ATLASCLOUD_API_BASE
• Alias envs also work: ATLAS_CLOUD_API_KEY, ATLAS_CLOUD_MODEL, ATLAS_CLOUD_API_BASE
• Existing OPENAI_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY flows keep working unchanged

What you get

Each run writes 17+ files to ./design-extract-output/. The headline outputs:

File	What it is
*-design-language.md	19-section markdown — feed any LLM to recreate the design
*-design-tokens.json	W3C DTCG tokens (primitive + semantic + composite layers)
*-tailwind.config.js	Drop-in Tailwind theme
*-shadcn-theme.css	shadcn/ui globals.css variables
*-figma-variables.json	Figma Variables import (light + dark)
*-variables.css	CSS custom properties
*-anatomy.tsx	Typed React stubs for every detected component + variants
*-motion-tokens.json	Durations, easings, springs, scroll-linked flag; with --motion-runtime also choreography (stagger) + scroll recipes + observed durations
*-voice.json	Brand voice — tone, pronoun posture, CTA verbs
*-prompts/	Paste-ready prompts for v0, Lovable, Cursor, Claude Artifacts
*-mcp.json	Disk-backed MCP server payload
*-grade.html	v12.1 Shareable Design Report Card (letter grade + evidence)
*-grade.svg	v12.2 Shields.io-style design-score badge (drop into any README)
*-battle.html	v12.2 Head-to-head graded battle card from designlang battle
*-remix.<vocab>.html	v12.3 Site restyled in another vocabulary — brutalist / swiss / art-deco / cyberpunk / soft-ui / editorial

Multi-platform (--platforms web,ios,android,flutter,wordpress,all) adds ios/, android/, flutter/, and a WordPress block theme. --emit-agent-rules adds Cursor / Claude Code / generic agent rule files.

Why designlang vs anything else

Other tools give you the paint. designlang reads the architecture:

• Layout system — grids, flex containers, container widths, gaps — not just tokens.
• Responsive — crawls 4 breakpoints and reports what changes (--responsive).
• Interaction states — programmatically hovers and focuses, captures the deltas (--interactions, --deep-interact).
• Motion language — durations, easing families, spring detection, scroll-linked flag, feel fingerprint (springy / smooth / mechanical / mixed).
• Runtime motion (--motion-runtime) — drives the page (load / scroll / hover / focus) and reads document.getAnimations() to capture what actually animates: real durations, choreography/stagger sequences, and scroll recipes (parallax / reveal / pin). Folded into *-motion-tokens.json and previewable live in the studio's Motion tab.
• Component anatomy — slot trees with variant × size × state matrices, emitted as typed .tsx.
• Brand voice — tone, pronoun posture, heading style, CTA verb inventory.
• Page intent + section roles — landing / pricing / docs etc., with semantic regions (hero, feature-grid, pricing-table, cta…).
• Multi-page consistency — auto-discovers canonical pages, reconciles shared vs per-route tokens.
• WCAG — every fg/bg pair scored, with a remediation palette suggesting nearest passing colors.
• Drift + lint + visual-diff — designlang drift, lint, visual-diff all CI-ready, exit non-zero on failure.
• Live-site sync — treat the deployed site as source of truth (designlang sync).
• MCP server — designlang mcp exposes tokens, regions, components, and contrast pairs to any MCP-aware agent.

Example output

designlang https://vercel.com --full →

Colors: 27 · Fonts: Geist + Geist Mono · Spacing: 18 (base 2px)
Shadows: 11 · Radii: 10 · CSS vars: 407 · Layout: 55 grids / 492 flex
Responsive: 4 viewports, 3 breakpoint changes · Interactions: 8 transitions
A11y: 94% WCAG · Score: 68/100 (D) · 4 issues

→ 17 files written to ./design-extract-output/
→ Run `designlang grade https://vercel.com` for a shareable report card

How it works

1. Crawl — Headless Chromium via Playwright, waits for network idle and fonts
2. Extract — One page.evaluate() walks up to 5,000 DOM elements, collecting 25+ computed properties, inline SVGs, font sources, and image metadata
3. Process — 17 extractor modules parse, deduplicate, cluster, and classify the raw data
4. Format — 12+ formatter modules emit the output files
5. Score — Accessibility extractor calculates WCAG contrast ratios for all color pairs
6. Capture — Optional: screenshots, responsive viewport crawling, interaction state recording
