SkillUI
Clone Any Website's Design System in One Command
"Good news for lazy designers. Perfect designs, zero effort."
- What is SkillUI?
SkillUI is a command-line tool that clones any website's entire design system instantly. Point it at any URL, GitHub repo, or local codebase – and it automatically grabs everything: colors, fonts, spacing, animations, and component patterns. No manual copy-pasting. No reverse-engineering by hand. The output is a ready-to-use design file that plugs directly into Claude Code (and other AI coding agents). Your AI now understands the full visual language of any site – so every component it builds matches perfectly.

- What Gets Extracted Automatically
One command extracts everything you need
■ Colors Full palette – primary, secondary, neutrals, semantic tokens ✍■
Fonts & Typography
Font families, sizes, weights, line heights ■
Spacing & Layout
Padding, margin, grid, breakpoints ■ Animations Transitions, keyframes, motion values ■ Components Button styles, card patterns, form elements
- Prerequisites
✔ Node.js (v18+) Needed to run npx – download from nodejs.org ✔
Claude Code
Installed and authenticated ✔
Git (optional)
Only needed if crawling a GitHub repo
- Install Claude Code
If you haven't installed Claude Code yet, run this once
macOS / Linux / WSL
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
Windows PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Then run claude in your terminal and log in with your Anthropic account. That's it – one-time setup.
- Install SkillUI – One Command
Open your terminal, navigate to your project folder, and run
cd /path/to/your/project
npx skills add amaancoderx/npxskillui
The CLI will ask you three quick things
- Target agent – select Claude Code
- Scope – Project (this folder only) or Global (all projects)
- Install method – choose Symlink (recommended)
Want it available everywhere? Install globally
npx skills add amaancoderx/npxskillui -g
- Clone a Design System – Done
Open Claude Code in your project, then just tell it what to clone. Plain English works:
Clone any website
Use SkillUI to crawl https://airbnb.com and extract its full design system
Clone a GitHub repo's design
Use SkillUI to extract the design system from https://github.com/vercel/next.js
Analyze your own codebase
Use SkillUI to analyze the design system in my current project
Claude Code will crawl the target, extract every design token, and load it as live context. Every
component it builds from that point forward will automatically match the cloned design.
- Verify the Skill is Active
Start Claude Code and check your installed skills
claude
/skills
You should see npxskillui listed. If it's there, you're ready to clone any design instantly.

Final checklist
- The required app, command, or service opens correctly.
- Credentials are stored outside public files and screenshots.
- A small test run completes before you use the setup for real work.
- You know where logs, output files, and error messages are stored.
