Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Primary is purple hsl(257 74% 57%) / #8142E3 — the shipping value from packages/web/src/styles.css. Not the #9747FF swatch some Figma…
  2. Body text is 14px (text-sm), not 16. Activepieces feels dense and tool-like. Headings use -0.01em to -0.02em tracking. The agent editor's…
  3. Sentence case everywhere: headings, buttons, menu items, page titles. Proper nouns only for feature names (Flows, Runs, Pieces, MCP…
  4. Lucide icons only, 1.5–2px stroke, rounded caps. Default size 16 (size-4). Icon + text → gap-2 (8px). No emoji in the product UI. No…
  5. Borders are 1px, color neutral-200 (light) / white/14 (dark). Never thicker. (Note: repo ships white/10 in dark — we bump to 14% so…
  6. No negative margins. Use gap-*, p-*, space-*. Explicitly banned in the repo's AGENTS.md.
  7. Cards: white fill, 1px border, radius-lg (10px), NO shadow by default. Shadows only on floating surfaces (popovers, menus, dialogs). One…
  8. Main content is a floating card: the sidebar blends with the outer shell (neutral-50 in light, neutral-950 in dark); the content area sits…
  9. Builder canvas has the dotted look — background #FBFBFB (light) / #171717 (dark), radial-gradient dots #b2b2b2 1px at 16px 16px. This is…
  10. Hover states darken only — primary buttons go to /90, secondary /80, ghost bg-gray-300/30. No scale, no translate, no elevation change on…
  11. Focus-visible is a 3px ring at ring-color/50 — accessibility-first, very visible.
  12. Disabled: opacity: 0.5; pointer-events: none. No greyed-out variant.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8656fb8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are css and html).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • unpkg.com

    Also links to:

    • lucide.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Activepieces Design System loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,613 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,613 words (~3,579 tokens).

“You are designing for Activepieces — an open-source AI automation platform where users assemble triggers + actions from 280+ "pieces" into automated flows. Every piece doubles as an MCP server.”
