DesignMD: extracts a design system from any live website

DesignMD is a browser-based tool that takes a live website URL and returns a structured breakdown of its design system: typography hierarchy, spacing tokens, color palettes, motion and animation behavior, responsive breakpoints, and CSS variable mappings. The output is formatted as AI-ready prompts, so the extracted data can feed directly into tools like Claude, Cursor, or Figma’s AI agent without manual reformatting.

The tool fills a practical gap in AI-assisted design workflows. When teams use AI coding agents to build or modify UI, the agents frequently break brand consistency because they cannot see the design system—they work from the codebase, not from a Figma library. DesignMD gives them the raw material to make better decisions: instead of inferring spacing conventions or color logic from scattered CSS, they get a structured summary they can reason against.

The tool runs entirely in the browser, requires no account, and is free. The maker has described plans to expand beyond landing pages to cover internal app UI—dashboards, modals, and dynamic components—in future versions.

For designers at studios or agencies who regularly audit or replicate existing interfaces, DesignMD reduces hours of manual inspection to a single request. For developers pairing with AI tools on existing codebases, it is a way to give the AI the same visual context that a designer would bring to a review.
