Copy Markdown: Extract Design Tokens to DESIGN.md via CSSOM

LinkMichael VerebTool

The Copy Markdown browser extension includes a feature that extracts design tokens from live websites. By traversing the CSSOM, it exports color palettes, typography hierarchies, spacing, shadows, and CSS variables into structured DESIGN.md files.

Key points

  1. Traverses the CSSOM to capture computed CSS custom properties and styles automatically.
  2. Exports colours, font rules, line heights, border radii, and component metrics into frontmatter and Markdown format.
  3. Free Chrome extension requiring no account or setup.
  4. Additional features include multi-tab Markdown extraction, image URL parsing, and SEO metadata capture.

Why it matters

For frontend developers and UI designers, automated design token extraction streamlines site audits and simplifies transferring design systems into documentation or AI coding workflows.

Analysis

Developed by Michael Vereb, this utility bridges browser inspection and design documentation. Instead of manually inspecting elements in DevTools, it aggregates computed values into structured Markdown and root CSS custom properties ready for immediate reuse.
