Style Capture Support

Style Capture is a local-only Chrome extension for capturing a selected page subtree, extracting computed CSS, and copying a markdown export for Tailwind conversion or UI recreation.

What The Extension Does

• runs only after you click the toolbar icon
• lets you pick a DOM subtree on the current page
• captures sanitized subtree HTML and computed CSS locally
• copies the formatted result to your clipboard
• stores only capture settings in chrome.storage.local

Common Issues

The picker does not appear

Make sure you are on a normal webpage. Chrome blocks extension injection on restricted pages such as chrome://* pages and the Chrome Web Store.

Nothing was copied

After you select an element, paste into a text editor to confirm the export. If clipboard write fails on a page, try again on a standard webpage.

The capture has too much or too little detail

Open the options page and adjust:

• Capture mode
• Pseudo-elements
• Hidden elements

Why does the extension need these permissions?

• activeTab: run only on the tab you explicitly activate
• scripting: inject the picker, copy flow, and toast into that tab
• storage: save local capture defaults

When Reporting A Problem

Include:

• Chrome version
• extension version
• the site or app name where the issue happened
• what you expected
• what happened instead

Do not include sensitive captured page content unless you have reviewed and redacted it first.
