live-canvas

live-canvas is a command for Claude Code from hamr0/agentic-toolkit. It costs 46 tokens per session (9,979 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of live-canvas, Apache-2.0.

A browser-based workflow for exploring and refining user-interface designs through interviews, generated variations, and click-to-annotate feedback. Feedback is sent into the active work session as the design is reviewed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare interface variations, collect precise visual feedback, refine a design, preview it, and finalize it.
Why use it?
It keeps design decisions and visual feedback connected to the editing session instead of leaving comments in a separate place.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash packages/claude/plugins/live-canvas-marketplace/setup.sh.

Good fit Use it to compare interface variations, collect precise visual feedback, refine a design, preview it, and finalize it.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

live-canvas 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 yesterday.

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.

Live Canvas Skill

This skill implements a complete design exploration workflow: interview, generate variations, collect feedback, refine, preview, and finalize.

CRITICAL: Cleanup Behavior

All temporary files MUST be deleted when the process ends, whether by:

  • User confirms final design → cleanup, then generate plan
  • User aborts/cancels → cleanup immediately, no plan generated

Never leave .claude-design/ or __live_canvas routes behind. If the user says "cancel", "abort", "stop", or "nevermind" at any point, confirm and then delete all temporary artifacts.


Feedback Modes — always ask the user

Live Canvas supports two feedback transports. The user picks every time — never auto-select.

  • Live channel (Claude Code only): the overlay POSTs each Save to a local MCP channel server; feedback arrives in the active session as a <channel source="live-canvas" ...> tag. Requires the session was launched with live-claude (or claude --dangerously-load-development-channels plugin:live-canvas-channel@live-canvas-marketplace) — channels are still an experimental Claude Code feature and a plain claude session silently drops the notifications. Any qualifying session can claim the channel by calling mcp__live-canvas__channel_open; only one holds it at a time.
  • JSON file (universal): each Save accumulates locally; Submit writes .claude-design/feedback.jsonl (or downloads the JSON). User says "check" or pastes the file when ready. Works in any host.

Host detection — do this first

This SKILL.md is the Claude Code variant of the skill. Same content is mirrored as docs for Droid/Amp/Opencode under packages/<tool>/ beside the other capabilities, but those tools don't support the MCP channel.

If running under Droid, Amp, or Opencode (not Claude Code):

  • Skip the mode question entirely.
  • Announce: 📝 JSON mode (Live channel requires Claude Code).
  • Proceed to Phase 1 with channelUrl omitted in the overlay init.
  • Never mention the channel plugin.

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.
