# Extract

> Refactoring pass — extracts repeated Tailwind class combos and markup into components, and lifts magic values into design tokens. Use when the codebase has obvious duplication, hardcoded hex values or pixel sizes, or when the user says "clean this up" / "extract components" / "tokenize styles". Invoke when the user asks for extract on their UI, or mentions 'extract' alongside design / UI / fronte…

## About

**Context:** this sub-skill is one lens of the broader `ui-craft` skill. If the `ui-craft` skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below.

Extract reusable pieces from the target the user described. Load the `ui-craft` skill.

**Step 1 — Scan the target for extraction candidates:**

- **Repeated Tailwind class combos** — any class string that appears ≥3 times becomes a component (or a `cva`/`tv` variant if the project uses one — check first).
- **Magic values** — hex colors, pixel sizes, shadow definitions, font sizes, z-index values appearing in literal form. Lift into CSS variables or `theme.extend`.
- **Repeated markup** — blocks that differ only by text/props collapse into a single component with props.

**Step 2 — Match the project's conventions, don't impose new ones:**

- **Naming** — look at neighboring components. PascalCase file? kebab-case file? Named export vs default export? Match exactly.
- **Location** — check `components/ui/`, `ui/`, `primitives/`, `src/components/` before creating a new directory. Reuse.
- **Tokens** — respect existing CSS variable naming (`--color-*`, `--space-*`, `--font-*`, `--radius-*`). Don't introduce a parallel system.

**Step 3 — Anti-Slop Test on every new component** (from SKILL.md):

- Component name must be domain-specific, not generic. `MetricCard` / `PricingTier` / `InviteRow` beats `Card` / `Box` / `Item`.
- If the component is generic ("a card with a title and description"), ask yourself whether it should instead be an inline composition — premature abstraction is worse than repetition.

**Step 4 — Update every call-site.** No half-migrations.

**Knob-agnostic** — DRY is not tunable.

**References to read**: `references/layout.md` (composition patterns), `references/typography.md` and `references/color.md` (token naming), plus the project's existing component library (scan before writing).

**Output**:
1. The new component file(s) + any token additions.
2. A table showing every call-site update:

| File | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |

3. A one-line delta: "Extracted N components, M tokens. Call-sites updated: X."
