extract

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 $ARGUMENTS. 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

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

Next step: /tokens — lift the values you just centralized into the token spine (rung 2).
