What it does

Paint is an agent skill from AThevon/genjutsu. Paint a complete visual universe with genjutsu - art direction brainstorm, design system, implementation, audit. Anti-AI-slop design pipeline. Adapts to Web, Android (Compose), Apple (SwiftUI).

Its SKILL.md is about 17k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Brainstorming, iOS development and Design systems. It works with SwiftUI and Android. The repository describes itself as: Creative coding skills for Claude Code, claude.ai and Cowork. Motion, micro-interactions and design systems across Web (GSAP, Motion, Three.js, CSS), Android (Jetpack Compose)…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Brainstorming
  • Tasks that involve iOS development
  • Tasks that involve Design systems

Example prompts

  • “/paint”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, Artifact

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. BRAINSTORM (mandatory, never skip)
  2. THESIS (define direction, get validation)
  3. DESIGN SYSTEM
  4. IMPLEMENT
  5. AUDIT (never skip)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f518a7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • WebSearch
    • Artifact

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • git
    • tsc
    • npm
    • xcodebuild

    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:

    • genjutsu.athevon.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

Paint loads about 17k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 8,526 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~17k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, Artifact

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 8,526 words (~16,667 tokens).
