Penpot Uiux Design

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Creating new UI/UX designs for web
• Desktop applications
• Building design systems with components and tokens
• Designing dashboards

Example prompts

• “design a UI”
• “create interface”
• “build layout”
• “/penpot-uiux-design”

Requirements

• Node.js

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Try calling a tool first: Attempt mcppenpotpenpot_api_info - if it succeeds, the server is running and connected. No setup needed.
2. 2If the tool fails, ask the user
3. 3Only proceed with setup instructions if the user confirms the server is not installed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm
  • git

  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:

  • github.com

  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

Penpot Uiux Design loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,036 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~172

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~12k

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

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.

// Discover existing design patterns in current file
const allShapes = penpotUtils.findShapes(() => true, penpot.root);

// Find existing colors in use
const colors = new Set();
allShapes.forEach(s => {
  if (s.fills) s.fills.forEach(f => colors.add(f.fillColor));
});

// Find existing text styles (font sizes, weights)
const textStyles = allShapes
  .filter(s => s.type === 'text')
  .map(s => ({ fontSize: s.fontSize, fontWeight: s.fontWeight }));

// Find existing components
const components = penpot.library.local.components;

return { colors: [...colors], textStyles, componentCount: components.length };

// Find all existing boards and calculate next position
const boards = penpotUtils.findShapes(s => s.type === 'board', penpot.root);
let nextX = 0;
const gap = 100; // Space between boards

if (boards.length > 0) {
  // Find rightmost board edge
  boards.forEach(b => {
    const rightEdge = b.x + b.width;
    if (rightEdge + gap > nextX) {
      nextX = rightEdge + gap;
    }
  });
}

// Create new board at calculated position
const newBoard = penpot.createBoard();
newBoard.x = nextX;
newBoard.y = 0;
newBoard.resize(375, 812);
