# Style Extraction Command
## Overview
Extract design style elements from reference images or text prompts using Claude's built-in analysis capabilities. Generates a single, comprehensive `style-cards.json` file containing multiple design variants with complete token proposals.
## Core Philosophy
- **Claude-Native**: 100% Claude-driven analysis, no external tools
- **Single Output**: Only `style-cards.json` with embedded token proposals
- **Sequential Execution**: Generate multiple style variants in one pass
- **Flexible Input**: Images, text prompts, or both (hybrid mode)
- **Reproducible**: Deterministic output structure
## Execution Protocol
### Phase 0: Parameter Detection & Validation
```bash
# Detect input source
IF --images AND --prompt:
input_mode = "hybrid" # Text guides image analysis
ELSE IF --images:
input_mode = "image"
ELSE IF --prompt:
input_mode = "text"
ELSE:
ERROR: "Must provide --images or --prompt"
# Detect session mode and generate run ID
run_id = "run-" + timestamp()
IF --session:
session_mode = "integrated"
session_id = {provided_session}
base_path = ".workflow/WFS-{session_id}/design-{run_id}/"
ELSE:
session_mode = "standalone"
base_path = ".workflow/.design/{run_id}/"
# Set variant count
variants_count = --variants provided ? {count} : 1
VALIDATE: 1 <= variants_count <= 5
```
### Phase 1: Input Loading & Validation
```bash
# Expand and validate inputs
IF input_mode IN ["image", "hybrid"]:
expanded_images = Glob({--images pattern})
VERIFY: expanded_images.length > 0
FOR each image IN expanded_images:
image_data[i] = Read({image_path}) # Load for analysis
IF input_mode IN ["text", "hybrid"]:
VALIDATE: --prompt is non-empty string
prompt_guidance = {--prompt value}
# Create output directory
CREATE: {base_path}/style-extraction/
```
### Phase 1.5: Design Trend Research (Exa MCP)
```bash
# Step 1: Load project context to inform search queries
project_context = ""
IF exists({base_path}/.brainstorming/synthesis-specification.md):
project_context = Read({base_path}/.brainstorming/synthesis-specification.md)
ELSE IF exists({base_path}/.brainstorming/ui-designer/analysis.md):
project_context = Read({base_path}/.brainstorming/ui-designer/analysis.md)
# Extract hints from context and prompt
search_hints = []
IF prompt_guidance:
search_hints.append(extract_design_keywords(prompt_guidance)) # e.g., "minimalist", "dark theme", "Linear.app"
IF project_context:
search_hints.append(extract_project_type(project_context)) # e.g., "dashboard", "SaaS", "blog"
# Step 2: Search for design trends using Exa MCP
REPORT: "🔍 Researching modern design trends and color theory..."
# Build comprehensive search query
exa_queries = [
"modern UI design color palettes trends 2024 2025 {search_hints}",
"typography web design best practices system fonts {search_hints}",
"design system color theory accessibility WCAG {search_hints}",
"UI spacing rhythm layout patterns {search_hints}"
]
design_trends = {}
FOR query IN exa_queries:
category = identify_category(query) # "colors", "typography", "layout", "accessibility"
design_trends[category] = mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(
query=query,
tokensNum="dynamic"
)
REPORT: "✅ Design research complete. Found trends for: colors, typography, layout, accessibility"
```
### Phase 2: Unified Style Analysis (Claude with Design Trends)
This is a single-pass analysis that replaces all external tool calls.
**Analysis Prompt Template**:
```
Analyze the following design references and generate {variants_count} distinct design style proposals informed by current design trends.
INPUT MODE: {input_mode}
{IF input_mode IN ["image", "hybrid"]}
VISUAL REFERENCES: {list of loaded images}
Identify: color palettes, typography patterns, spacing rhythms, visual hierarchy, component styles
{ENDIF}
{IF input_mode IN ["text", "hybrid"]}
TEXT GUIDANCE: "{prompt_guidance}"
Use this to guide the aesthetic direction and feature requirements
{ENDIF}
DESIGN TRENDS RESEARCH (from web, 2024-2025):
COLOR TRENDS:
{design_trends.colors}
TYPOGRAPHY TRENDS:
{design_trends.typography}
LAYOUT PATTERNS:
{design_trends.layout}
ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES:
{design_trends.accessibility}
TASK: Generate {variants_count} design style variants that:
1. Each have a distinct visual identity and design philosophy
2. Incorporate modern design trends from the research above (2024-2025)
3. Balance trend awareness with timeless design principles
4. Use OKLCH color space for all color values
5. Include complete, production-ready design token proposals
6. Are semantically organized (brand, surface, semantic colors)
7. Apply current accessibility best practices from WCAG guidelines

// Repeat for variants_count total
]
}
RULES:
- Each variant must be distinct in visual character
- Incorporate insights from DESIGN TRENDS RESEARCH into color, typography, and spacing choices
- Balance modern trends with timeless design principles
- All colors MUST use OKLCH format: oklch(L C H / A)
- Token structures must be complete and production-ready
- Use semantic naming throughout (e.g., "brand-primary" not "color-1")
- Ensure accessibility (WCAG AA contrast ratios: 4.5:1 text, 3:1 UI) using guidelines from research
- Apply modern typography trends (variable fonts, system font stacks, optical sizing)
- Include complete token categories for each variant
- Reference specific trends or patterns from the research when making design decisions
```

**Key Points**:
- Each variant has complete, independent token proposals
- All colors use OKLCH format for perceptual uniformity
- Token structures are production-ready (no placeholders)
- Variants have distinct visual identities and philosophies
## Error Handling
- **No images found**: Report glob pattern and suggest corrections (e.g., "Pattern '*.png' matched 0 files in current directory")
- **Invalid prompt**: Require non-empty string for text mode
- **Claude JSON parsing error**: Retry with stricter format instructions and explicit structure requirements
- **Invalid session**: Create standalone session automatically in `.workflow/.scratchpad/`
- **Invalid variant count**: Clamp to 1-5 range and warn user
## Key Features
1. **Trend-Aware Style Generation** 🆕
- Uses Exa MCP to research current design trends (2024-2025)
- Searches for color theory, typography trends, layout patterns, and accessibility guidelines
- Generates style variants informed by modern best practices
- Balances innovation with timeless design principles
2. **Zero External Dependencies for Analysis**
- No `gemini-wrapper`, no `codex` for style synthesis - pure Claude
- Single-pass comprehensive analysis with trend integration
3. **Streamlined Output**
- Single file (`style-cards.json`) vs. multiple scattered files
- Eliminates `semantic_style_analysis.json`, `design-tokens.json`, `tailwind-tokens.js` clutter
- Each variant contains complete token proposals embedded
4. **Flexible Input Modes**
- Image-only: Analyze visual references
- Text-only: Generate from descriptions
- Hybrid: Text guides image analysis
- All modes enhanced with web-based design research
5. **Context-Aware Research**
- Extracts design keywords from user prompts (e.g., "minimalist", "Linear.app")
- Considers project type from brainstorming artifacts
- Customizes search queries based on project context
6. **Reproducible Structure**
- Same inputs = same output structure
- Deterministic JSON schema

## Integration Points
- **Input**: Reference images (PNG, JPG, WebP) via glob patterns, or text prompts
- **Output**: `style-cards.json` for `/workflow:ui-design:consolidate`
- **Context**: Optional brainstorming artifacts (`synthesis-specification.md`, `ui-designer/analysis.md`)
- **Auto Integration**: Automatically triggered by `/workflow:ui-design:auto` workflow
- **Next Step**: `/workflow:ui-design:consolidate --session {session_id} --variants {count}` (or `--keep-separate` for matrix mode)
