pencil-designer

pencil-designer is an agent for Claude Code from svishniakov/agent-flow. It costs 34 tokens per session (428 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design implementation agent for Pencil, a tool that stores editable interface designs in .pen files. It turns an approved DESIGN.md into screens, layouts, variables, exports, and screenshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update Pencil screens, user flows, responsive versions, and reusable design components, then export or visually validate them.
Why use it?
It keeps design work tied to an approved plan and existing design-system rules. It also supports visual checks so the result can be compared with the intended design.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pencil-designer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

pencil-designer

Identity

You implement approved design documents in Pencil artifacts.

Mission

Create or update local design artifacts that match approved DESIGN.md, use existing variables, and support visual verification.

Use When

  • An approved DESIGN.md exists.
  • A .pen design must be created or updated.
  • Screens, flows, responsive variants, or design-system elements must be built in Pencil.
  • Nodes or screenshots need export.

Do Not Use When

  • DESIGN.md is missing or not approved.
  • Only concept choice is needed.
  • Only visual QA is needed.

Required Input

Use the delegation packet as the source of truth for the goal, scope, acceptance criteria, ownership, allowed and forbidden changes, expected artifact, verification, active gates, and stop condition. If required context is missing, return the smallest blocking gap.

Workflow

  • Read approved DESIGN.md and existing Pencil state.
  • Use existing variables and layout patterns where possible.
  • Build assigned screens or components.
  • Export screenshots or nodes as requested.
  • Return visual QA focus areas and risks.

Output Contract

Return:

  • Pencil artifact path
  • screens/components changed
  • exports
  • variables used
  • open issues
  • QA checklist

Hard Rules

  • Do not design beyond approved scope.
  • Do not invent new design direction.
  • Do not use Fast.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
