## What it does

Point the skill at one HTML file and it returns typed JSON: `title`, `profile`, `density`, `palette`, `anchors`, `properNouns`, `headings`, `dates`, `numbers`, `emails`, `links`, `sourceHex`, plus paragraph and list counts. Add `--full` and you also get the raw `paragraphs` and `items` arrays. From the shell: `npx reimagine-it extract -i page.html -o signals.json`. Piping works too — `cat page.html | npx reimagine-it extract -o -`.

Handy before a redesign, when you want to know what material the engine actually has. The payload is typed and stable, so it feeds cleanly into research, a content migration or design-system work.

One line matters here. Hex values in `sourceHex` came from the page; `palette` is derived from them. Dates and numbers are passed through as quotes, never rounded or tidied. A figure that shows up in a downstream summary but not on the page was added by hand — the extractor does not do that.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill extract -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/extract/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/extract/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill extract -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/extract/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill extract -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/extract/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Kayforkind/reimagine-it extract
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/extract/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill extract -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Kayforkind/reimagine-it --path skills/reimagine-it/extract
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/extract/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill extract -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Kayforkind/reimagine-it/tree/HEAD/skills/reimagine-it/extract/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- inventory a page's facts before redesigning it
- get hex colors and a derived palette as JSON
- collect links, emails and dates for a content migration
- check which signals the engine reads from a page
- produce a typed content summary for design-system work

## Example prompts
- Run `/reimagine-it extract` on `page.html` and write the result to `signals.json`
- What does the engine see in this page? Pull the palette and the facts
- Extract links, dates and emails from `index.html`

  Emit the content signals reimagine-it reads from an HTML file — title,
  anchors, proper nouns, dates, numbers, emails, links, source hex colors,
  and the derived palette — as JSON without generating a redesign. Use when
  the user says /reimagine-it extract, "what does the engine see in this
  page", "extract the palette", "pull the facts from this page", or wants
  content analysis for research, migration, or design-system work. CLI:
  npx reimagine-it extract -i page.html -o signals.json. Part of the
  reimagine-it Content-Derived Design suite.

# /reimagine-it extract

**Parent:** [../SKILL.md](../SKILL.md) — the full Content-Derived Design engine. This sub-skill handles only the extraction surface — the honesty layer the whole method stands on.

The redesign is only as honest as its extraction. This verb emits exactly what
the engine reads, as JSON, without generating anything: title, profile,
density, derived palette, anchors, proper nouns, headings, dates, numbers,
emails, links, and source hex colors. Every extracted fact exists in the
source — property-tested against hostile and malformed input.

## Usage

```bash
npx reimagine-it extract -i page.html -o signals.json
cat page.html | npx reimagine-it extract -o -        # stdin → stdout
npx reimagine-it extract -i page.html --full -o signals.json  # + prose
```

Payload shape (default):

```json
{
  "source": "page.html",
  "title": "…",
  "profile": "restaurant | saas | civic | …",
  "density": "sparse | medium | dense",
  "palette": { "ground": "…", "accent": "…", "muted": "…", "surface": "…", "ink": "…" },
  "anchors": ["…"],
  "properNouns": ["…"],
  "headings": ["…"],
  "dates": ["…"],
  "numbers": ["…"],
  "emails": ["…"],
  "links": ["…"],
  "sourceHex": ["#6B3A2A"],
  "counts": { "paragraphs": 4, "listItems": 16 }
}
```

`--full` adds `paragraphs` and `items` (the raw prose arrays).

## Procedure

1. Run it before any redesign when the user asks "what would you even use
   from this page?" — the JSON answers with the engine's actual inputs.
2. To audit honesty: every `dates`, `numbers`, `emails`, and `links` entry
   must be findable in the source. Nothing else is allowed to appear.
