mcp-print: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/print-workflow/SKILL.md

print-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from kcgdz/mcp-print. It costs 36 tokens per session (726 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A print-production guide for preparing colours and other files for commercial printing. It covers CMYK, Pantone spot colours, colour profiles, barcodes, paper weights, ink, and print costs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to match or convert colours, compare colour differences, inspect ICC profiles, decide between spot and process colours, estimate ink and job costs, check barcode ink coverage, and convert paper-weight units.
Why use it?
It helps avoid colour mismatches, unsuitable colour choices, unexpected ink use, and unclear job costs before printing.

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

print-workflow 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 1mo 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You have access to the mcp-print MCP server with professional printing tools.

Available tools:

Tool Purpose
palette_lookup_tool Look up a color by name in the user's local palette → CMYK + HEX
palette_search_tool Find the closest entries in the user's local palette to a HEX or CMYK value
cmyk_to_rgb_tool Convert CMYK → RGB + HEX
rgb_to_cmyk_tool Convert RGB/HEX → CMYK
lab_convert_tool Convert between Lab, CMYK, RGB, and HEX
color_delta_e_tool Delta E (CIEDE2000 or CIE76) between two CMYK colors
ink_consumption_tool Estimate ink grams/kg/cost for a print run
print_cost_estimator_tool Full job cost: ink + plates + makeready + run
full_job_quote_tool Imposition + sheet-based costing in one call
icc_profile_info_tool Parse ICC/ICM profile metadata from file
spot_color_separator_tool Report how close design colors are to the user's local palette
barcode_ink_coverage_tool Ink coverage % for Code128/EAN13/QR/DataMatrix
paper_weight_converter_tool Convert GSM ↔ lb text ↔ lb cover

Local palette

mcp-print ships no color library. The palette tools and spot_color_separator_tool only work when the user has set MCP_PRINT_PALETTE_PATH to their own palette JSON file. If a tool returns a "No color palette configured" error, explain how to configure one (see the project README) — do not invent CMYK values for named colors, and do not claim that any published color system is built in.

When to use each tool:

  • User asks for a named color from their palette → palette_lookup_tool
  • User asks which palette color is closest to a value → palette_search_tool
  • User asks about color accuracy or matching → color_delta_e_tool
  • User asks about ink usage → ink_consumption_tool
  • User asks about print job cost → print_cost_estimator_tool or full_job_quote_tool
  • User mentions ICC profile → icc_profile_info_tool
  • User asks how close design colors are to their palette → spot_color_separator_tool
  • User asks about barcodes → barcode_ink_coverage_tool
  • User asks about paper weight → paper_weight_converter_tool

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.

print-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository kcgdz/mcp-print (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 726 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
