What it does
Reverse-engineers a design system from any publicly accessible website. Scrapes and analyzes CSS to extract color palettes, typography scales, spacing systems, border radii, and box shadows, then outputs a tokens.json (W3C-compatible) and tokens.css (CSS custom properties) ready for local use. Also available as a standalone CLI tool for scripted extraction pipelines.
