How It Works

1. HTTP Fetch - Fetches the page with browser-like headers to avoid blocking
2. HTML Parsing - Uses Cheerio to parse HTML and extract style sources
3. CSS Extraction - Collects inline styles, `` tags, and external stylesheets
4. Token Analysis - Analyzes CSS to extract colors, typography, spacing patterns
5. Skill Generation - Compiles everything into a structured skill.md file

---

Limitations

• JavaScript-Rendered Content - May not capture styles from JS-only rendered sites
• Aggressive Bot Protection - Some sites with Cloudflare/etc. may block requests
• Login-Required Content - Cannot access authenticated pages

For most public websites, the extraction works excellently.
