sideform-dev-mode

sideform-dev-mode is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dan-rozhkov/pen-editor-plugin. It costs 68 tokens per session (945 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only workflow that turns an existing Sideform design into frontend code. It reads the design's structure, layout, style values, and screenshot so the implementation can match it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a Sideform component or screen in a code repository, including its layout, colours, text, and other visible styling.
Why use it?
It removes the need to inspect a design by hand before building its equivalent markup and CSS. It does not edit the Sideform design itself.

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-dev-mode 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 15d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 33 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sideform dev mode

You are translating a live Sideform design into code. This is a read-only task against the design: gather everything you need, then write code in the target codebase. Do not call batch_design or set_variables — reading a design in order to implement it is not a license to edit it. If the user actually wants the design itself changed, that's the sideform-design skill, not this one.

All Sideform tools below run against the user's editor. In clients that support MCP Apps, call open_canvas first; otherwise the user needs https://app.sideform.pro/app open and signed in in a browser tab. If a call errors because no editor is open, see sideform-connect (30s timeout).

Workflow

  1. get_editor_state — active file, selection, top-level nodes, available components. Establishes what you're implementing and its scope.
  2. batch_get — pull the actual subtree you're implementing (by nodeIds or a search patterns match), with enough readDepth/searchDepth to see every descendant that matters. This is the node model: types, layout/fills/strokes/effects/cornerRadius, text content, etc.
  3. snapshot_layout — the fidelity-critical step. This returns computed rectangles (positions/sizes) after Sideform's layout engine has run — not the raw authored properties. Use these numbers, not eyeballed guesses, for spacing, sizing, and any absolutely-positioned children. problemsOnly: true surfaces clipping/overflow you should account for in the implementation.
  4. get_variables — read the design's tokens and map them onto the codebase's own design tokens (CSS variables, Tailwind theme values, etc.) rather than hardcoding hex values pulled off a node. If a fill/stroke references $--some-token, your code should reference the codebase's equivalent token, not a literal color.
  5. get_screenshot — visual reference while translating, and again afterward to compare your built component against the design.

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.
