DesignMD: Extracting Design Systems and Tokens from URLs

LinkTool

DesignMD crawls websites and extracts their underlying design system into a structured DESIGN.md file, a live HTML preview, and Figma variables.

Key points

  1. Crawls key pages to capture exact computed CSS styles rather than relying on approximations.
  2. Outputs a structured DESIGN.md covering colors, typography, spacing, corner radii, elevation, breakpoints, and UI components.
  3. Generates a shareable live HTML preview rendering the extracted tokens as visual specimens.
  4. Features a one-click import into Figma, including variables, styles, and an artboard.
  5. Operates on a credit-based tier (e.g. 4 credits per spec, 8 for multi-page) with no credit card required to start.

Why it matters

Manually reverse-engineering styles via browser developer tools is slow and error-prone. Automating token extraction accelerates design audits, design system creation, and alignment across engineering and product design.

Analysis

By producing both agent-ready Markdown files and native Figma assets, DesignMD targets modern workflows where tokens need to feed directly into code generation agents as well as design systems. Pulling computed styles directly from the DOM ensures high precision across the extracted palette, typography scale, and layout tokens.
