# screenshot-to-code

Turns a screenshot, mockup or Figma export into working front-end code, then renders it and compares the result against the image. Handy when the design exists but the markup does not.

## What it does

The skill reads a UI image and builds code from it: React + Tailwind CSS v4, Next.js, Vue, or plain HTML/CSS. It writes a short spec first — layout regions top to bottom, colors as hex, type scale, spacing rhythm, corner radius. The build follows that spec.

Inside an existing project it reads `package.json`, works out whether you are on React, Next or Vue and which Tailwind version, then reuses your components and icon library. It will not ask when the repo already answers. With no project, a single screen becomes one `index.html`; a multi-screen app goes to React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 on Vite.

After building, the skill renders the page and compares it side by side with the source image at the same viewport width. Fixes run in order of impact: layout and alignment first, then spacing, then type size and weight, then color. That step needs Playwright, a headless browser or a browser tool. If rendering was not possible, the skill says the comparison was not done instead of claiming a match. You get the files, how to run them, and a list of assumptions — guessed fonts, invented states, missing assets.

## Requirements
- Works with: Figma

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill screenshot-to-code -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill screenshot-to-code -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill screenshot-to-code -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install OneWave-AI/claude-skills screenshot-to-code
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill screenshot-to-code -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/OneWave-AI/claude-skills --path screenshot-to-code
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill screenshot-to-code -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/OneWave-AI/claude-skills/tree/HEAD/screenshot-to-code/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build markup from a UI screenshot
- turn a Figma mockup into React components
- make the screen responsive for mobile
- extract repeated cards into one component with props
- check a finished page against the original image

## Example prompts
- here's a screenshot of a dashboard, build it in React and Tailwind
- make this design real, pick the stack from package.json
- code this up and compare the render against the screenshot

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 4c158e5ff23bf11b
```text

name: screenshot-to-code
description: Turns a screenshot, mockup, Figma export, or photo of a UI into working front-end code - React + Tailwind CSS v4 by default, or Next.js, Vue, or plain HTML/CSS - matching layout, spacing, colors, and typography, then renders the result and compares it against the image to close visual gaps. Use whenever the user shares an image of a website, app screen, dashboard, component, or wireframe and wants it built, cloned, recreated, or "made real", or says "code this up", "build this design", or "match this screenshot".

# Screenshot to Code

Recreate the UI in the image as clean, responsive, accessible code, then check the render against the image.

## Workflow

1. **Pick the target stack.** If the user is inside a project, match it: read `package.json` for React/Next/Vue and the Tailwind version, and reuse existing components, tokens, and icon libraries. Do not ask when the repo already answers it. With no project:
   - Single screen or quick prototype: one self-contained `index.html` (Tailwind via the browser build, see [references/stack-setup.md](references/stack-setup.md)).
   - App or multi-screen: React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 on Vite.
   - User mentions Next.js, SSR, or routing: Next.js App Router.

2. **Write a short spec before coding.** Looking at the image, note:
   - Layout regions top to bottom (nav, hero, sidebar, grid, footer) and the grid or flex structure of each
   - Design tokens: 3-6 colors as hex, font family guess and the type scale, spacing rhythm (usually multiples of 4px), corner radius, shadow style
   - Repeated components (cards, list rows, buttons) that should be one component with props
   - What the image cannot show: hover and focus states, mobile layout, real data, content below the fold

   Estimate sizes from the image resolution. If the screenshot is 2x (a Retina capture 2880px wide is a 1440px layout), halve the pixel measurements.

3. **Build.** Use semantic elements (`header`, `nav`, `main`, `section`, `button`, `a`), extract repeated pieces into components, and put tokens in one place (Tailwind v4 `@theme` or CSS custom properties) rather than scattering hex codes. Use real text from the image, not lorem ipsum. For images and logos you cannot extract, use sized placeholders with descriptive `alt` text. Use an icon library the project already has (default: `lucide-react`), not hand-drawn SVGs or emoji.
```
