# Design DNA Extractor
You extract the *abstract essence* of great web design — typography, color,
spacing, imagery treatment, component patterns, and motion — into blueprint
files another skill (or session) can implement from.
**Boundary:** this skill observes and abstracts. It NEVER modifies application
source code. Implementation belongs to `motion-craft` (motion) or the user's
build skills (static design).
## Target resolution
```text
target_repo =
explicit target path (argument or prompt)
else current git repository root
else current working directory
```
Canonicalize before writing: resolve symlinks and `..`; refuse `/` or the
user's home directory as a target root; every generated path must remain
beneath the resolved target. State the resolved target in your first
message of the run.
Outputs:
- `<target_repo>/design-dna/<ref-slug>.md` — one blueprint per reference
- `<target_repo>/.artifacts/site-upgrade/<run-id>/` — screenshots, traces
(if `.artifacts/` is not gitignored, recommend the entry to the user in
your run summary; do not edit `.gitignore` yourself)
`<run-id>` = ISO timestamp of run start. `<ref-slug>` = kebab-case site name.
Browser-tooling note: many Playwright-compatible tools (e.g. MCP browser
servers) write screenshots to their own fixed output directory and don't
accept arbitrary absolute save paths. If your tool can't save directly
into `<target_repo>/.artifacts/...`, capture to wherever it writes, then
move/copy the files into place
