Hey HN! I built Pluck — a free Chrome extension that lets you click any component on any website and copy it as a structured prompt for AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, v0, Bolt, etc.). You can also export directly into Figma!

It (should) work on any page, including ones behind auth, since it runs entirely in your browser.

Tech stack for the curious: Plasmo for the extension, Next.js + Hono + tRPC for the web/API, Drizzle + Postgres for the DB, all in a Turborepo monorepo.

Free tier gives you 50 captures/month (should be plenty). Unlimited is $10/mo.

Would love feedback — especially on the capture quality and whether the prompts it generates actually produce good results in your tool of choice.

This sounds like a copyright violation machine.

I say that both as someone who writes vooyrighted code and someone responsible for ensuring my company’s code doesn’t violate anyone else’s copyright.

does this handle complex tailwind layouts or just

Nice idea.

Is 'plucking' something and pasting the prompt into Claude the same as taking a screenshot and uploading it to Claude?

I tend to upload screenshots a lot. If 'plucking' essentially does the same thing, without cluttering my desktop with screenshots, I'd be interested in trying it out.
