What it does
Pixelate is an agent skill from Joangeldelarosa/pxlkit. Use when converting existing React code to the pxlkit design system (@pxlkit/ui-kit), replacing the presentation layer while preserving routes, state, handlers and tests.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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. 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
- Converting existing React code to the pxlkit design system (@pxlkit/ui-kit)
- Replacing the presentation layer while preserving routes
- Handlers and tests
Example prompts
- “/pixelate”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

- Inventory
- The mapping table, shown before any edit
- Convert incrementally

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:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodenpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Pixelate loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 681 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 681 words (~1,259 tokens).
“You are replacing a presentation layer, not rewriting an application. Routes, state, event handlers, data fetching and existing aria-* attributes survive the conversion unchanged. What changes is what the user sees.”
