Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned chiroro-jr/pencil-design-skill at 9c459a4a3c.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The Pencil Design skill enables AI agents to design user interfaces (UIs) in Pencil and generate corresponding code from those designs. It focuses on producing high-quality UIs while adhering to best practices for design system reuse, variable usage, layout correctness, visual verification, and ensuring a smooth design-to-code workflow. The generated code supports React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and HTML/CSS.

When to use it

  • Designing screens, pages, or components within Pencil files (.pen).
  • Generating code (React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, HTML/CSS) from existing Pencil designs.
  • Building or expanding a design system using Pencil.
  • Synchronizing design tokens between Pencil and code (Tailwind v4 @theme, shadcn/ui tokens).
  • Importing existing code into Pencil designs.

Key capabilities

  • Design creation in the Pencil application.
  • Code generation for React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and HTML/CSS.
  • Integration with design systems through component reuse (using pencil_batch_get).
  • Variable usage for consistent styling (using pencil_get_variables).
  • Layout verification to prevent text and content overflow (using pencil_snapshot_layout).
  • Support for Pencil MCP tools like pencil_batch_design and pencil_batch_get.

Example prompts

  • "Create a button component in Pencil, reusing existing design system components."
  • "Generate React code from this Pencil design file."
  • "Import this HTML/CSS code into my Pencil project."

Tips & gotchas

  • Design System Reuse is Mandatory: Always check for and reuse existing components before creating new ones using pencil_batch_get.
  • Variable Usage is Required: Avoid hardcoding values; use design tokens obtained with pencil_get_variables instead.
  • Visual Verification is Crucial: Regularly verify the layout to prevent text or content overflow using pencil_snapshot_layout.
