Design MD Extractor
A Chrome extension that reads a live site's computed styles and CSS variables, then turns them into a DESIGN.md — a portable spec of a brand's colors, type, spacing, and radii that you can hand straight to Claude.
How it works
- Open any website and click the Design MD Extractor icon in your Chrome toolbar.
- It walks the page's computed styles and named CSS variables (
--brand-*,--color-*,--theme-*, etc.) and ranks colors, type, and spacing by how often they're actually used. - It copies a ready-made prompt — captured styles plus the
DESIGN.mdspec — straight to your clipboard, ready to paste into Claude.
Installing it
Since it isn't published to the Chrome Web Store yet, install it as an unpacked extension:
- Download and unzip the file above.
- Go to
chrome://extensionsand turn on Developer mode (top right). - Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped
design-md-extractorfolder.
Already have a DESIGN.md? Blend it with inspiration from other sites using Design MD Mixer.
