pencil-extract

pencil-extract is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tedydonel/Heisenberg. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for turning a design from Pencil into reusable Heisenberg Blade components. Pencil is the design tool, and Blade is a template system used to build web pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract reusable interface pieces, editor pages, styles, and scripts from a Pencil design into a Heisenberg Blade project.
Why use it?
It keeps extracted components in the expected project locations and avoids treating exported HTML as finished production code. It also requires checking responsive behavior and the result in a browser.

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-extract 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 11d 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.

Heisenberg Pencil Extraction

Purpose

Extract the active Pencil design into Heisenberg Blade without treating exported HTML as production code. The source of truth is Pencil MCP node data; HTML exports are structural references only.

Placement

Read docs/file-structure.md before editing.

  • Low-level reusable primitives go in resources/views/components/ui/.
  • Editor pages, fixtures, layouts, and page composition go in resources/views/editor/.
  • Editor CSS goes in resources/css/editor/.
  • Editor JavaScript goes in resources/js/editor/.
  • Never create an improvised extraction folder.
  • ui primitives are leaves: no dependencies on Editor composition, backend services, or future live components.

Pencil reading protocol

  1. Call mcp__pencil__get_editor_state({include_schema:true}) first.
  2. Confirm the active file is the requested Heisenberg .pen file.
  3. Locate frames with shallow batch_get searches.
  4. Read exact reusable nodes and at least one instance at readDepth: 2–3.
  5. Use get_screenshot for visual truth.
  6. Never read .pen files through filesystem tools. filePath is only a hint and cannot switch the active document.

If the active document is wrong, stop and ask the user to open the correct file. Never reconstruct a design from memory.

Token discipline

Heisenberg has no CSS build step. There is no Tailwind, no PostCSS, nothing to compile. Styling is plain, hand-written CSS.

Do not hardcode design colors, spacing, radii, font sizes, or borders in extracted output. Every design value must reference the matching custom property from resources/css/tokens.css via var(--hb-x, fallback), where the fallback literal matches that token's current value in tokens.css (resilience if the stylesheet fails to load, not an excuse to skip the variable). For example: border-radius: var(--hb-radius-md, 5px);, color: var(--hb-text-primary, #0A0A0A);.

Never emit a bare literal (border-radius: 5px;, color: #0A0A0A;) for a value that has a matching token. If Pencil has a value without a matching token in tokens.css, stop and report it; do not invent a token or silently substitute a raw value.

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.
