What it does

Imagine is an agent skill from Joangeldelarosa/pxlkit. Use when building a new pixel-art or retro frontend with pxlkit (@pxlkit/ui-kit) — landing, dashboard, portfolio, game UI. Composes from the real component API instead of freehand JSX.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Design systems, React components and Sprites and pixel art. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: Free to Use Retro React UI kit & pixel art icon library. Includes 40+ React components, 200+ hand-crafted SVG pixel icons (static & animated), and a visual builder. Built with…

When your agent uses it

  • Building a new pixel-art
  • Retro frontend with pxlkit (@pxlkit/ui-kit) — landing

Example prompts

  • “/imagine”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ground yourself in the real project
  2. Decide the structure before touching code
  3. Budget the composition, in writing, before any code
  4. Write it
  5. Validate
  6. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b8e4669. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Imagine loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 817 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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: 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: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

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 817 words (~1,563 tokens).

“The failure mode this skill exists to prevent is generic React wearing a retro colour scheme: eight components used repeatedly, hand-rolled divs where the kit has a component, and Tailwind greys that ignore the theme. Everything below serves the opposite…”
