pencil-design-bridge

pencil-design-bridge is a skill for Codex from sergekostenchuk/ui-ux-agent-skill-system. It costs 77 tokens per session (669 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow bridge between approved user-interface plans and Pencil, an editable design workspace. It prepares design handoffs and reviews Pencil results without treating .pen files as ordinary text files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create Pencil-ready briefs, hand work to Pencil tools, check tool availability, review Pencil output, or prepare designs for Figma or implementation.
Why use it?
It keeps design work aligned with the approved product direction, accessibility, search visibility, branding, and implementation limits. It also clarifies how to pass work between Pencil, Figma, and code.

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

pencil-design-bridge 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 12d 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.

Pencil Design Bridge

This skill is the Pencil layer in the UI/UX Agent Skill System. Pencil is a design-tool bridge and editable design workspace, not the central architect and not a plain-file parser.

Operating Modes

  • brief: turn an approved direction brief into a Pencil-ready design brief.
  • canvas-handoff: prepare instructions for Pencil MCP/tools or a Pencil-capable agent.
  • review-output: review Pencil output against UX, SEO/LLM, accessibility, brand, and implementation constraints.
  • figma-code-handoff: prepare Pencil results for Figma or code implementation.
  • config-check: check whether Pencil tools are available in the current runtime without reading .pen files directly.

Required Workflow

  1. Read references/pencil-bridge-contract.md.
  2. Confirm the source brief was approved by senior-ui-ux-orchestrator or came from an explicit user decision.
  3. Confirm inputs:
    • product/UX journey;
    • SEO/LLM constraints for public pages;
    • ui-ux-pro-max design intelligence;
    • optional Stitch output or Figma constraints;
    • required assets and forbidden claims.
  4. Use assets/pencil-handoff.template.md for handoff packets.
  5. Access .pen documents only through Pencil MCP/tools. Do not use shell reads, grep, cat, or ad hoc JSON parsing on .pen files.
  6. Treat Pencil output as a candidate design artifact. It still needs review before Figma, code, or production use.

Safety Rules

  • Do not store API keys, tokens, cookies, private URLs, private screenshots, or .env values in Pencil handoffs.
  • Do not claim a Pencil tool ran unless a callable Pencil tool was used and an artifact path or tool response exists.
  • If Pencil tooling is unavailable, produce a manual handoff and mark execution as Skipped or Planned.
  • If Pencil output conflicts with accessibility, visible facts, SEO/LLM structure, or implementation feasibility, route to council.

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.
