# stitch-to-nextjs

Turn Google Stitch screens into Next.js components while keeping their measured styles and assets. Use it when a design needs to become a working frontend without rounding its CSS values.

## What it does

stitch-to-nextjs reads a Google Stitch screen and generates Next.js components with Tailwind CSS. It keeps the design’s specific spacing, colors, and font choices instead of substituting nearby Tailwind defaults. Images are saved under `public/assets/`; fonts use `next/font/google`, with `next/font/local` for METROPOLIS.

The process has seven phases, from resolving a project and extracting design tokens to generating components and saving a reference screenshot. The plugin detects Tailwind v3 or v4, can map patterns to ShadCN/UI, and uses React Server Components by default. You’ll need Claude Code, a Google Stitch project, and Google authentication set up once with `npx @_davideast/stitch-mcp init`; without that authentication, the plugin can’t access the Google-backed Stitch data.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install stitch-to-nextjs@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- turn a Google Stitch screen into a Next.js component
- retain exact design colors and spacing in Tailwind
- download screen images into `public/assets/`
- compare generated UI against a Stitch screenshot

## Example prompts
- List my Google Stitch projects with `/stitch-to-nextjs list`.
- Convert the `Hero Section` screen in `My Landing Page` with `/stitch-to-nextjs "My Landing Page" "Hero Section"`.
- Generate a screen from its project and screen IDs with `/stitch-to-nextjs 4044680601076201931 98b50e2ddc9943efb387052637738f61`.

## The Problem

When you convert Stitch designs to code manually or with generic AI tools, things drift:

| What Stitch designed | What you get |
|---|---|
| `Inter` at `15px` | `text-sm` (14px) |
| `#1E293B` background | `bg-slate-800` (close but wrong) |
| `18px` padding | `p-4` (16px) |
| Specific hero image | Placeholder or missing |
| `border-radius: 12px` | `rounded-lg` (8px) |

**stitch-to-nextjs** eliminates this drift entirely. It extracts the exact HTML, CSS, fonts, colors, and images from your Stitch design and produces a Next.js component that is visually identical.

---

## Quick Install

### One-liner (recommended)

```bash
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yshaish1/stitch-to-nextjs/main/install.sh | bash
```

This automatically:
- Installs the skill to `~/.claude/commands/`
- Adds the plugin marketplace to your Claude Code settings
- Checks stitch-mcp authentication status

Then restart Claude Code and run `/stitch-to-nextjs list`.

### Alternative: Plugin install

If you prefer the plugin system:

```
/plugin install stitch-to-nextjs
```

> Requires marketplace to be added first. The install script above handles this automatically.

---

## Prerequisites

- [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) CLI installed
- A [Google Stitch](https://stitch.withgoogle.com) account with at least one project
- Built-in Stitch MCP enabled in Claude Code (available by default on claude.ai)
- One-time `npx @_davideast/stitch-mcp init` to authenticate with Google (the install script will remind you if needed)

---

## What It Does

| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| **Pixel-perfect CSS** | Preserves exact values - `text-[15px]`, `bg-[#1E293B]`, `p-[18px]` - never rounds to Tailwind defaults |
| **Font matching** | Maps all 29 Stitch fonts to `next/font/google` with CSS variables |
| **Image downloading** | Downloads all images from Stitch CDN before URLs expire, saves to `public/assets/` |
| **Design tokens** | Extracts colors, roundness, color mode from Stitch design systems |
| **ShadCN mapping** | Detects ShadCN/UI and maps Stitch patterns to ShadCN components with exact style overrides |
| **Server Components** | Uses React Server Components by default, extracts `"use client"` only when needed |
| **Tailwind v3 + v4** | Auto-detects your Tailwind version and generates compatible code |
| **Visual validation** | Saves Stitch screenshot as reference for side-by-side comparison |

---

## Usage

### Browse your Stitch projects

```
/stitch-to-nextjs list
```

### Convert a specific screen

```
/stitch-to-nextjs 4044680601076201931 98b50e2ddc9943efb387052637738f61
```

### Convert by project name

```
/stitch-to-nextjs "My Landing Page" "Hero Section"
```

---

## How It Works

The skill runs a 7-phase pipeline:

```
 Phase 1      Phase 2       Phase 3        Phase 4          Phase 5        Phase 6       Phase 7
----------   ----------   -----------   ---------------   -----------   -----------   -----------
