Extract Design System - Setup Guide¶

Source: arvindrk/extract-design-system (1 skill · 127.3K installs) Repo: github.com/arvindrk/extract-design-system Category: Design Quality / UI Engineering First Seen: August 13, 2026 Quality Tier: 🟢 Production (127.3K installs - the largest single-skill install count in the August 13 sweep)

A single skill with a 127K install base: extract-design-system reverse-engineers an existing interface into a structured design system - color tokens, typography scales, spacing rules, and component patterns. It solves the hardest problem in agent-driven UI work: matching an existing brand instead of generating a generic look. Pair it with anti-ui-slop for a complete design-quality pipeline.

Installation¶

# Direct install
npx skills add arvindrk/extract-design-system

# Hermes: install by identifier
hermes skills install arvindrk/extract-design-system/extract-design-system

Core Skills¶

Skill	Installs	Use For
`extract-design-system`	127.3K	Extracting tokens, typography, spacing, and components from an existing UI

Prerequisites¶

CorpusIQ Use Cases¶

Use Case	How
Competitive design extraction	Pull a competitor's design language for benchmarking
Brand consistency	Extract CorpusIQ's own system for agent-built pages
Customer deployments	Match a client's existing brand when building their Hermes dashboards
Docs site polish	Verify new pages follow the extracted corpusiq.io system

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

Limitations / Verification¶

Output quality depends on the target UI's consistency - hand-built sites yield less structure
