sideform-design

sideform-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dan-rozhkov/pen-editor-plugin. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,535 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating or changing designs in Sideform, a visual design editor, through its MCP connection. It supports new screens and edits to existing screens, following the editor's prototype or presentation guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build, edit, restyle, or extend Sideform screens, pages, applications, or presentations.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a defined process for working on a live design canvas rather than writing frontend code. It also distinguishes design changes from code implementation.

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

sideform-design 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sideform design

You are driving a live Sideform document through the sideform MCP server. Design tools run against the user's editor. Start with open_canvas when your client supports MCP Apps: it shows the live canvas in the chat and connects the design tools to it. In clients without MCP Apps, the user must have https://app.sideform.pro/app open and signed in in a browser tab. If a call errors because no editor is open, stop and use the sideform-connect skill instead of retrying blindly. Calls time out after 30s if the editor is unresponsive.

Decision procedure

  1. open_canvas first in apps-capable clients (once per conversation).
  2. New screen, page, app or deck: load_skill("prototype") (or load_skill("slides") for a presentation) and follow it. It holds the full rules for fonts, icons, photos, sizing and taste. Do not rebuild those rules from memory. Load the skill before the first batch_design call.
  3. get_editor_state — active file, selection, top-level nodes, variables.
  4. find_empty_space_on_canvas for the first screen's position, then place each next screen at x = previous x + previous width + ~120.
  5. batch_design — one screen per call. Then verify (see bottom).

New screens are ONE top-level embed

The server rejects top-level native creates (frame, rect, text, ...) on /mcp. Every NEW screen or page is exactly one top-level embed node whose htmlContent is a complete, self-contained HTML document:

  • Sizes: mobile 390×844, tablet 768×1024, desktop 1440×1024 (slides: see the slides skill).
  • Fonts through @import in <style>. Icons: Phosphor through @import from unpkg. Photos: picsum.photos URLs. No JavaScript.
  • Fit to canvas: all content must fit the declared width and height. The embed does not scroll.
  • One screen per batch_design call. Several screens: one call each, in order.

Example (the HTML is shortened here; write the full markup as one string):

screen=I(document, {type:"embed", name:"Login", x:0, y:0, width:390, height:844, htmlContent:"<!doctype html><html>…</html>"})

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.
