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 allenai2014/pencil-ui-design at 666fa7a6a7.

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

About this skill

The pencil-ui-design skill enables AI agents to generate and refine user interface layouts using a specialized design tool. It supports creating responsive web components, adjusting color schemes, and iterating on visual designs based on specific feedback.

When to use it

  • Rapidly prototyping new dashboard or landing page layouts before handing them off to developers.
  • Iterating on UI elements like buttons or cards to match a brand's specific aesthetic guidelines.
  • Generating accessible color palettes and ensuring contrast ratios meet WCAG standards automatically.
  • Creating mobile-first responsive designs that adapt seamlessly to different screen sizes.

Key capabilities

  • Generates complete HTML/CSS structures for various UI components.
  • Adjusts layout responsiveness across desktop, tablet, and mobile views.
  • Applies custom color themes and typography styles directly within the design environment.
  • Provides visual feedback loops to refine designs based on user requirements.

Example prompts

  • "Create a responsive navigation bar with a hamburger menu for mobile devices using modern CSS."
  • "Design a product card layout that highlights an image, title, price, and 'Add to Cart' button."
  • "Refine the color scheme of this dashboard to use a dark mode theme with high-contrast text."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide clear context about the target device or screen size when requesting specific layouts. While the tool generates code, always review the output for semantic correctness before deployment.
