Extract Color Data

Interpretation-only companion to create-color. This skill does not extract data from Figma. It reads {cachePath}/{componentSlug}-_base.json (produced by the uSpec Extract Figma plugin), applies the same reasoning layer as create-color, and writes the finalized color dataset (either ColorAnnotationData or ConsolidatedColorAnnotationData) to disk for the create-component-md orchestrator.

Quality contract: every reasoning step (axis classification review, boolean enrichment, mode detection, container detection, composite breakdown, strategy selection, variant reduction plan, audit) mirrors create-color/SKILL.md. Any improvement to color-extraction quality must be made in both places.

Batch-mode contract. This skill MUST NOT call AskQuestion, prompt for confirmation, or pause for user input. On ambiguous rendering-strategy or container-detection decisions, pick the most defensible option based on the evidence and record the reasoning in generalNotes or _containerRerunHint. No mid-interpretation clarifications.

Invocation Contract

The orchestrator calls this skill with these inputs (already resolved — do NOT re-parse URLs or re-read uspecs.config.json):

• componentSlug — filename-safe slug
• cachePath — cache directory, typically .uspec-cache/{componentSlug}/
• optionalContext — free-form string from the user (may be "none")
• mcpProvider — figma-console or figma-mcp (only used if a Step 3-delta escape hatch fires)
• deltaAvailable — boolean derived from _base.json._meta.fileKey + nodeId. Plugin exports normally make this true; a separately-passed figmaLink is not required.
• apiDictionaryPath — absolute or workspace-relative path to {cachePath}/{componentSlug}-api-dictionary.json. Optional. When present, the file is the canonical vocabulary for axis/value/sub-component/state naming (see Step 2.5). When absent, the skill continues with _dictionaryUnavailable: true in its output envelope.
• evidencePath — optional. Path to {cachePath}/{componentSlug}-evidence-color.json from CLI prepare. When present and hash-valid, use data as the Step 3 working evidence set.
