Layout Extraction Command

Overview

Extract structural layout information from reference images, URLs, or text prompts using AI analysis. This command separates the "scaffolding" (HTML structure and CSS layout) from the "paint" (visual tokens handled by style-extract).

Strategy: AI-Driven Structural Analysis

  • Agent-Powered: Uses ui-design-agent for deep structural analysis
  • Behavior: Generate N layout concepts → User multi-select → Generate selected templates
  • Output: layout-templates.json with DOM structure, component hierarchy, and CSS layout rules
  • Device-Aware: Optimized for specific device types (desktop, mobile, tablet, responsive)
  • Token-Based: CSS uses var() placeholders for spacing and breakpoints

Phase 0: Setup & Input Validation

Step 1: Detect Input, Mode & Targets

# Detect input source
# Priority: --urls + --images → hybrid | --urls → url | --images → image | --prompt → text

# Parse URLs if provided (format: "target:url,target:url,...")
IF --urls:
    url_list = []
    FOR pair IN split(--urls, ","):
        IF ":" IN pair:
            target, url = pair.split(":", 1)
            url_list.append({target: target.strip(), url: url.strip()})
        ELSE:
            # Single URL without target
            url_list.append({target: "page", url: pair.strip()})

    has_urls = true
ELSE:
    has_urls = false
    url_list = []

# Set variants count (default: 3, range: 1-5)
# Behavior: Generate N layout concepts per target → User multi-select → Generate selected templates
variants_count = --variants OR 3
VALIDATE: 1 <= variants_count <= 5

# Resolve targets
# Priority: --targets → url_list targets → prompt analysis → default ["page"]
IF --targets:
    targets = split(--targets, ",")
ELSE IF has_urls:
    targets = [url_info.target for url_info in url_list]
ELSE IF --prompt:
    # Extract targets from prompt using pattern matching
    # Looks for keywords: "page names", target descriptors (login, dashboard, etc.)
    # Returns lowercase, hyphenated strings (e.g., ["login", "dashboard"])
    targets = extract_from_prompt(--prompt)
ELSE:
    targets = ["page"]

# Resolve device type
device_type = --device-type OR "responsive"  # desktop|mobile|tablet|responsive

# Determine base path (auto-detect and convert to absolute)
relative_path=$(find .workflow -type d -name "design-run-*" -printf "%T@ %p\n" 2>/dev/null | sort -nr | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f2)
base_path=$(cd "$relative_path" && pwd)
bash(test -d "$base_path" && echo "✓ Base path: $base_path" || echo "✗ Path not found")
# OR use --base-path / --session parameters

Step 2: Load Inputs & Create Directories

# For image mode
bash(ls {images_pattern})  # Expand glob pattern
Read({image_path})  # Load each image

# For URL mode
# Parse URL list format: "target:url,target:url"
# Validate URLs are accessible

# For text mode
# Validate --prompt is non-empty

# Create output directory
bash(mkdir -p {base_path}/layout-extraction)

Step 2.5: Extract DOM Structure (URL Mode - Auto-Trigger)

# AUTO-TRIGGER: If URLs are available (from --urls parameter), automatically extract real DOM structure
# This provides accurate layout data to supplement visual analysis

# Check if URLs provided via --urls parameter
IF --urls AND url_list:
    REPORT: "🔍 Auto-triggering URL mode: Extracting DOM structure"

    bash(mkdir -p {base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis)

    # For each URL in url_list:
    FOR url_info IN url_list:
        target = url_info.target
        url = url_info.url

        IF mcp_chrome_devtools_available:
            REPORT: "   Processing: {target} ({url})"

            # Read extraction script
            script_content = Read(~/.claude/scripts/extract-layout-structure.js)

            # Open page in Chrome DevTools
            mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page(url=url)

            # Execute layout extraction script
            result = mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script(function=script_content)

            # Save DOM structure for this target (intermediate file)
            Write({base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis/dom-structure-{target}.json, result)

            REPORT: "   ✅ DOM structure extracted for '{target}'"
        ELSE:
            REPORT: "   ⚠️ Chrome DevTools MCP not available, falling back to visual analysis"
            BREAK

    dom_structure_available = mcp_chrome_devtools_available
ELSE:
    dom_structure_available = false

Extraction Script Reference: ~/.claude/scripts/extract-layout-structure.js

Usage: Read the script file and use content directly in mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script()

Script returns:

  • metadata: Extraction timestamp, URL, method, version
  • patterns: Layout pattern statistics (flexColumn, flexRow, grid counts)
  • structure: Hierarchical DOM tree with layout properties
  • exploration: (Optional) Progressive exploration results when standard selectors fail

Benefits:

  • Real flex/grid configuration (justifyContent, alignItems, gap, etc.)
  • Accurate element bounds (x, y, width, height)
  • Structural hierarchy with depth control
  • Layout pattern identification (flex-row, flex-column, grid-NCol)
  • Progressive exploration: Auto-discovers missing selectors

Progressive Exploration Strategy (v2.2.0+):

When script finds <3 main containers, it automatically:

  1. Scans all large visible containers (≥500×300px)
  2. Extracts class patterns matching: main|content|wrapper|container|page|layout|app
  3. Suggests new selectors to add to script
  4. Returns exploration data in result.exploration:
    {
      "triggered": true,
      "discoveredCandidates": [{classes, bounds, display}],
      "suggestedSelectors": [".wrapper", ".page-index"],
      "recommendation": ".wrapper, .page-index, .app-container"
    }
    

Using Exploration Results:

// After extraction, check for suggestions
IF result.exploration?.triggered:
    REPORT: result.exploration.warning
    REPORT: "Suggested selectors: " + result.exploration.recommendation

    // Update script by adding to commonClassSelectors array
    // Then re-run extraction for better coverage

Selector Update Workflow:

  1. Run extraction on unfamiliar site
  2. Check result.exploration.suggestedSelectors
  3. Add relevant selectors to script's commonClassSelectors
  4. Re-run extraction → improved container detection

Step 3: Memory Check

# 1. Check if inputs cached in session memory
IF session_has_inputs: SKIP Step 2 file reading

# 2. Check if output already exists
bash(find {base_path}/layout-extraction -name "layout-*.json" -print -quit | grep -q . && echo "exists")
IF exists: SKIP to completion

Phase 0 Output: input_mode, base_path, variants_count, targets[], device_type, loaded inputs

Phase 1: Layout Concept Generation

Step 1: Generate Layout Concept Options (Agent Task 1)

Executor: Task(ui-design-agent)

Launch agent to generate variants_count layout concept options for each target:

Task(ui-design-agent): `
  [LAYOUT_CONCEPT_GENERATION_TASK]
  Generate {variants_count} structurally distinct layout concepts for each target

  SESSION: {session_id} | MODE: explore | BASE_PATH: {base_path}
  TARGETS: {targets} | DEVICE_TYPE: {device_type}

  ## Input Analysis
  - Targets: {targets.join(", ")}
  - Device type: {device_type}
  - Visual references: {loaded_images if available}
  ${dom_structure_available ? "- DOM Structure: Read from .intermediates/layout-analysis/dom-structure-*.json" : ""}

  ## Analysis Rules
  - For EACH target, generate {variants_count} structurally DIFFERENT layout concepts
  - Concepts must differ in: grid structure, component arrangement, visual hierarchy
  - Each concept should have distinct navigation pattern, content flow, and responsive behavior

  ## Generate for EACH Target
  For target in {targets}:
    For concept_index in 1..{variants_count}:
      1. **Concept Definition**:
         - concept_name (descriptive, e.g., "Classic Three-Column Holy Grail")
         - design_philosophy (1-2 sentences explaining the structural approach)
         - layout_pattern (e.g., "grid-3col", "flex-row", "single-column", "asymmetric-grid")
         - key_components (array of main layout regions)
         - structural_features (list of distinguishing characteristics)

      2. **Wireframe Preview** (simple text representation):
         - ascii_art (simple ASCII box diagram showing layout structure)
         - Example:
           ┌─────────────────┐
           │     HEADER      │
           ├──┬─────────┬────┤
           │ L│  MAIN   │ R  │
           └──┴─────────┴────┘

  ## Output
  Write single JSON file: {base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis/analysis-options.json

  Use schema from INTERACTIVE-DATA-SPEC.md (Layout Extract: analysis-options.json)

  CRITICAL: Use Write() tool immediately after generating complete JSON
`

Step 2: Verify Options File Created

bash(test -f {base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis/analysis-options.json && echo "created")

# Quick validation
bash(cat {base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis/analysis-options.json | grep -q "layout_concepts" && echo "valid")

Output: analysis-options.json with layout concept options for all targets


Phase 1.5: User Confirmation (Optional - Triggered by --interactive)

Purpose: Allow user to select preferred layout concept(s) for each target before generating detailed templates

Trigger Condition: Execute this phase ONLY if --interactive flag is present

Step 1: Check Interactive Flag

# Skip this entire phase if --interactive flag is not present
IF NOT --interactive:
    SKIP to Phase 2

# Interactive mode enabled
REPORT: "🎯 Interactive mode: User selection required for {targets.length} target(s)"

Step 2: Load and Present Options

# Read options file
options = Read({base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis/analysis-options.json)

# Parse layout concepts
layout_concepts = options.layout_concepts

Step 2: Present Options to User (Per Target)

For each target, present layout concept options and capture selection:

📋 Layout Concept Options for Target: {target}

We've generated {variants_count} structurally different layout concepts for review.
Please select your preferred concept for this target.

{FOR each concept in layout_concepts[target]:
  ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
  Concept {concept.index}: {concept.concept_name}
  ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════

  Philosophy: {concept.design_philosophy}
  Pattern: {concept.layout_pattern}

  Components:
  {FOR each component in concept.key_components:
    • {component}
  }

  Features:
  {FOR each feature in concept.structural_features:
    • {feature}
  }

  Wireframe:
  {concept.wireframe_preview.ascii_art}

  ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
}

Step 3: Capture User Selection and Update Options File (Per Target)

// Use AskUserQuestion tool for each target (multi-select enabled)
FOR each target:
  AskUserQuestion({
    questions: [{
      question: "Which layout concept(s) do you prefer for '{target}'?",
      header: "Layout for " + target,
      multiSelect: true,  // Multi-selection enabled (default behavior)
      options: [
        {FOR each concept in layout_concepts[target]:
          label: "Concept {concept.index}: {concept.concept_name}",
          description: "{concept.design_philosophy}"
        }
      ]
    }]
  })

  // Parse user response (array of selections)
  selected_options = user_answer

  // Check for user cancellation
  IF selected_options == null OR selected_options.length == 0:
      REPORT: "⚠️ User canceled selection. Workflow terminated."
      EXIT workflow

  // Extract concept indices from array
  selected_indices = []
  FOR each selected_option_text IN selected_options:
      match = selected_option_text.match(/Concept (\d+):/)
      IF match:
          selected_indices.push(parseInt(match[1]))
      ELSE:
          ERROR: "Invalid selection format. Expected 'Concept N: ...' format"
          EXIT workflow

  // Store selections for this target (array of indices)
  selections[target] = {
    selected_indices: selected_indices,  // Array of selected indices
    concept_names: selected_indices.map(i => layout_concepts[target][i-1].concept_name)
  }

  REPORT: "✅ Selected {selected_indices.length} layout(s) for {target}"

// Calculate total selections across all targets
total_selections = sum([len(selections[t].selected_indices) for t in targets])

// Update analysis-options.json with user selection (embedded in same file)
options_file = Read({base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis/analysis-options.json)
options_file.user_selection = {
  "selected_at": "{current_timestamp}",
  "selection_type": "per_target_multi",
  "session_id": "{session_id}",
  "total_selections": total_selections,
  "selected_variants": selections  // {target: {selected_indices: [...], concept_names: [...]}}
}

// Write updated file back
Write({base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis/analysis-options.json, JSON.stringify(options_file, indent=2))

Step 4: Confirmation Message

✅ Selections recorded! Total: {total_selections} layout(s)

{FOR each target, selection in selections:
  • {target}: {selection.selected_indices.length} layout(s) selected
    {FOR each index IN selection.selected_indices:
      - Concept {index}: {layout_concepts[target][index-1].concept_name}
    }
}

Proceeding to generate {total_selections} detailed layout template(s)...

Output: analysis-options.json updated with embedded user_selection field

Phase 2: Layout Template Generation (Agent Task 2)

Executor: Task(ui-design-agent) × Total_Selected_Templates in parallel

Step 1: Load User Selections or Default to All

# Read analysis-options.json which may contain user_selection
options = Read({base_path}/.intermediates/layout-analysis/analysis-options.json)
layout_concepts = options.layout_concepts

# Check if user_selection field exists (interactive mode)
IF options.user_selection AND options.user_selection.selected_variants:
    # Interactive mode: Use user-selected variants
    selections_per_target = options.user_selection.selected_variants
    total_selections = options.user_selection.total_selections
ELSE:
    # Non-interactive mode: Generate ALL variants for ALL targets (default behavior)
    selections_per_target = {}
    total_selections = 0

    FOR each target in targets:
        selections_per_target[target] = {
            "selected_indices": [1, 2, ..., variants_count],  # All indices
            "concept_names": []  # Will be filled from options
        }
        total_selections += variants_count

# Build task list for all selected concepts across all targets
task_list = []
FOR each target in targets:
    selected_indices = selections_per_target[target].selected_indices  # Array
    concept_names = selections_per_target[target].concept_names        # Array

    FOR i in range(len(selected_indices)):
        idx = selected_indices[i]
        concept = layout_concepts[target][idx - 1]  # 0-indexed array
        variant_id = i + 1  # 1-based variant numbering

        task_list.push({
            target: target,
            variant_id: variant_id,
            concept: concept,
            output_file: "{base_path}/layout-extraction/layout-{target}-{variant_id}.json"
        })

total_tasks = task_list.length
REPORT: "Generating {total_tasks} layout templates across {targets.length} targets"

Step 2: Launch Parallel Agent Tasks

Generate layout templates for ALL selected concepts in parallel:

FOR each task in task_list:
    Task(ui-design-agent): `
      [LAYOUT_TEMPLATE_GENERATION_TASK #{task.variant_id} for {task.target}]
      Generate detailed layout template based on user-selected concept.
      Focus ONLY on structure and layout. DO NOT concern with visual style (colors, fonts, etc.).

      SESSION: {session_id} | BASE_PATH: {base_path}
      TARGET: {task.target} | VARIANT: {task.variant_id}
      DEVICE_TYPE: {device_type}

      USER SELECTION:
      - Selected Concept: {task.concept.concept_name}
      - Philosophy: {task.concept.design_philosophy}
      - Pattern: {task.concept.layout_pattern}
      - Key Components: {task.concept.key_components.join(", ")}
      - Structural Features: {task.concept.structural_features.join(", ")}

      ## Input Analysis
      - Target: {task.target}
      - Device type: {device_type}
      - Visual references: {loaded_images if available}
      ${dom_structure_available ? "- DOM Structure Data: Read from .intermediates/layout-analysis/dom-structure-{task.target}.json - USE THIS for accurate layout properties" : ""}

      ## Generation Rules
      - Develop the user-selected layout concept into a detailed template
      - Use the selected concept's key_components as foundation
      - Apply the selected layout_pattern (grid-3col, flex-row, etc.)
      - Honor the structural_features defined in the concept
      - Expand the concept with complete DOM structure and CSS layout rules
      ${dom_structure_available ? `
      - IMPORTANT: You have access to real DOM structure data with accurate flex/grid properties
      - Use DOM data as primary source for layout properties
      - Extract real flex/grid configurations (display, flexDirection, justifyContent, alignItems, gap)
      - Use actual element bounds for responsive breakpoint decisions
      - Preserve identified patterns from DOM structure
      ` : ""}

      ## Template Generation

      1. **DOM Structure**:
         - Semantic HTML5 tags: <header>, <nav>, <main>, <aside>, <section>, <footer>
         - ARIA roles and accessibility attributes
         - Use key_components from selected concept
         ${dom_structure_available ? "- Base on extracted DOM tree from .intermediates" : "- Infer from visual analysis"}
         - Device-specific optimizations for {device_type}

      2. **Component Hierarchy**:
         - Array of main layout regions
         - Derived from selected concept's key_components

      3. **CSS Layout Rules**:
         - Implement selected layout_pattern
         ${dom_structure_available ? "- Use real layout properties from DOM structure data" : "- Focus on Grid, Flexbox, position, alignment"}
         - Use CSS Custom Properties: var(--spacing-*), var(--breakpoint-*)
         - Device-specific styles (mobile-first @media for responsive)
         - NO colors, NO fonts, NO shadows - layout structure only

      ## Output Format
      Write single-template JSON object with:
      - target: "{task.target}"
      - variant_id: "layout-{task.variant_id}"
      - source_image_path (string): Reference image path
      - device_type: "{device_type}"
      - design_philosophy (string from selected concept)
      - dom_structure (JSON object)
      - component_hierarchy (array of strings)
      - css_layout_rules (string)

      ## Critical Requirements
      - ✅ Use Write() tool for {task.output_file}
      - ✅ Single template for {task.target} variant {task.variant_id}
      - ✅ Structure only, no visual styling
      - ✅ Token-based CSS (var())
      - ✅ Maintain consistency with selected concept
    `

Output: Agent generates multiple layout template files (one per selected concept)

Step 3: Verify Output Files

# Count generated files
expected_count = total_tasks
actual_count = bash(ls {base_path}/layout-extraction/layout-*.json | wc -l)

# Verify all files were created
IF actual_count == expected_count:
    REPORT: "✓ All {expected_count} layout template files generated"
ELSE:
    ERROR: "Expected {expected_count} files, found {actual_count}"

# Verify file structure (sample check)
bash(cat {base_path}/layout-extraction/layout-{first_target}-1.json | grep -q "variant_id" && echo "valid structure")

Output: All layout template files created and verified (one file per selected concept)

}

Requirements: Token-based CSS (var()), semantic HTML5, device-specific structure, accessibility attributes

Error Handling

Common Errors

ERROR: No inputs provided
→ Provide --images, --urls, or --prompt

ERROR: Invalid target name
→ Use lowercase, alphanumeric, hyphens only

ERROR: Agent task failed
→ Check agent output, retry with simplified prompt

ERROR: MCP search failed
→ Check network connection, retry command

Recovery Strategies

  • Partial success: Keep successfully extracted templates
  • Invalid JSON: Retry with stricter format requirements
  • Missing inspiration: Works without (less informed exploration)

Key Features

  • Auto-Trigger URL Mode - Automatically extracts DOM structure when --urls provided (no manual flag needed)
  • Hybrid Extraction Strategy - Combines real DOM structure data with AI visual analysis
  • Accurate Layout Properties - Chrome DevTools extracts real flex/grid configurations, bounds, and hierarchy
  • Separation of Concerns - Decouples layout (structure) from style (visuals)
  • Multi-Selection Workflow - Generate N concepts → User selects multiple → Parallel template generation
  • Structural Exploration - Enables A/B testing of different layouts through multi-selection
  • Token-Based Layout - CSS uses var() placeholders for instant design system adaptation
  • Device-Specific - Tailored structures for different screen sizes
  • Graceful Fallback - Falls back to visual analysis if Chrome DevTools unavailable
  • Foundation for Assembly - Provides structural blueprint for prototype generation
  • Agent-Powered - Deep structural analysis with AI

Integration

Workflow Position: Between style extraction and prototype generation

New Workflow:

  1. /workflow:ui-design:style-extract → Multiple style-N/design-tokens.json files (Complete design systems)
  2. /workflow:ui-design:layout-extract → Multiple layout-{target}-{variant}.json files (Structural templates)
  3. /workflow:ui-design:generate (Assembler):
    • Reads: All design-tokens.json files + all layout-{target}-{variant}.json files
    • Action: For each style × layout combination:
      1. Build HTML from dom_structure
      2. Create layout CSS from css_layout_rules
      3. Apply design tokens to CSS
      4. Generate complete prototypes
    • Output: Complete token-driven HTML/CSS prototypes

Input: Reference images, URLs, or text prompts Output: layout-{target}-{variant}.json files for downstream generation commands Next: /workflow:ui-design:generate
