How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common

Use the markdown file as context for AI-assisted development
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Prerequisites
Ensure designlang is available. Install if needed:
npm install -g designlangOr use npx (no install required):
npx designlang <url>Process
- Run the extraction on the provided URL:
npx designlang <url> --screenshotsFor multi-page crawling: npx designlang <url> --depth 3 --screenshots
For dark mode: npx designlang <url> --dark --screenshots
- Read the generated markdown file to understand the design:
cat design-extract-output/*-design-language.md- Present key findings to the user:
- Primary color palette with hex codes
- Font families in use
- Spacing system (base unit if detected)
- WCAG accessibility score
- Component patterns found
- Notable design decisions (shadows, radii, etc.)
- Offer next steps:
- Copy
*-tailwind.config.jsinto their project - Import
*-variables.cssinto their stylesheet - Paste
*-shadcn-theme.cssinto globals.css for shadcn/ui users - Import
*-theme.jsfor React/CSS-in-JS projects - Import
*-figma-variables.jsoninto Figma for designer handoff - Open
*-preview.htmlin a browser for a visual overview - Use the markdown file as context for AI-assisted development
- Copy

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
