live-canvas

live-canvas is a skill for Claude Code from hamr0/agentic-toolkit. It costs 50 tokens per session (9,947 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of live-canvas, Apache-2.0.

A browser-based workflow for exploring UI designs, generating variations, and collecting click-based feedback during an interactive design session.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps conduct design interviews, compare interface variations, annotate previews, refine designs, and finalize a chosen direction.
Why use it?
It keeps rapid design feedback connected to the editing session instead of relying on separate, delayed review steps.

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (templates/overlay-vanilla.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to live-canvas — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,084 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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>/commands/live-canvas/, 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.
