Design Extraction

The process of reading a live website's design tokens (palette, typography, spacing, motion) from its rendered DOM and computed styles.

Design extraction is the inverse of styling: instead of writing CSS to produce a look, you observe a finished site and recover the tokens that produced it. AI2 Design's extractor uses Playwright to load a URL in a real browser, then iterates over rendered elements collecting computed colors, fonts, spacing values, and motion definitions. The output is a structured token bundle in formats AI agents (Claude, Cursor, v0) can absorb directly.
