What it does
Pinepaper is an agent skill from madhvantyagi/Gnos. Build and check Pinepaper MCP diagrams, charts, motion, and interactive models when a lesson needs linked visual states or a changing quantity.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/charts-and-quantities.md`, `references/diagrams.md` and `references/interaction-and-export.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Teaching harness , help you to learn anything , It teaches like real teacher , design curriculum , generate videos , simulations , images , pdfs , tracks your learning style etc. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts
- “/pinepaper”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Write a short scene brief: claim, objects, source of quantities, units,
- Read the current tool schema. Use pinepaper_tool_guide for a tool family
- Call pinepaper_agent_start_job with the canvas preset and a description

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e42b62. 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.
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
Pinepaper loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 532 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 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.

Pinepaper
Use the pinepaper MCP server for a composed diagram or scene whose parts
must stay linked or change together. For a mathematical curve or coordinate
construction, follow the graph rules in
representation choices
and use JSXGraph when they fit.
Start with the selected subject guide and the block brief.
Name the question the learner should answer from the scene. Keep the same
objects, symbols, units, and example as the surrounding lesson.
Choose the visual job
- For a fixed relationship or boundary, read diagrams. Use Excalidraw when a quick static sketch is enough.
- For a plotted quantity, curve, or linked numerical view, read charts and quantities. Keep exact values in a table or reproducible calculation.
- For ordered states, physical motion, waves, or a model such as heat transfer, read motion and models.
- For learner controls or any finished file, read interaction and export. Choose the export before building features that the format cannot preserve.
One lesson may combine a diagram, graph, and motion around the same state. Each view must reveal a different part of the explanation. Do not make the learner infer which curve, arrow, or moving object corresponds to a number in the text.
Build through the MCP server
- Write a short scene brief: claim, objects, source of quantities, units, what changes, and the expected output file. Decide what the learner will predict or compare.
- Read the current tool schema. Use
pinepaper_tool_guidefor a tool family orpinepaper_query_capabilitiesfor a specific missing capability. The server schema wins over examples in these files. - Call
pinepaper_agent_start_jobwith the canvas preset and a description of the teaching claim. Plan positions and labels at the size the learner will see in the course viewer. - Use one
pinepaper_agent_batch_executefor the base scene when its operations cover the job. Reuse its$0,$1, and later item references. Call a specialized tool, such aspinepaper_create_chart,pinepaper_equation_path, orpinepaper_physics, when the scene needs that capability. Do not approximate a chart or physical rule with decorative movement. Check the returned result of every operation. - Run
pinepaper_validate_scene. Inspect the initial state and a meaningful changed state with a screenshot or playback. Check labels, scales, arrow meanings, clipping, and whether the graph and motion agree. Repair failed operations or unwired relations before finishing. - Call
pinepaper_agent_end_job, inspect its final image, then export throughpinepaper_agent_exportor the specialized export tool required by the deliverable. Open the exported file. A correct editor scene is not proof that its export works.

Use named tools for ordinary production. Use pinepaper_execute_custom_code
only for a bounded scene behavior the tool surface cannot express, and check
the generated values against the lesson's model. A visually plausible model
is still a model. Label measured data, sourced data, assumptions, and simulated
outputs distinctly.
Hand off a checked artifact
Return the file, MIME type, title, purpose, source or model assumptions, and one learner question to the lesson coordinator. The coordinator alone updates the lesson and registers the artifact. Check the export in the course viewer before calling it ready. If the server is unavailable, use its diagnostic report when available, make one error-based correction, and report the remaining limitation. Never describe an unmade scene as finished.

Run `npx skills add madhvantyagi/Gnos --skill pinepaper -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pinepaper in madhvantyagi/Gnos) into .agents/skills/pinepaper in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Pinepaper in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add madhvantyagi/Gnos --skill pinepaper -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pinepaper, .gemini/skills/pinepaper, .github/skills/pinepaper and .opencode/skills/pinepaper in your project.
What does Pinepaper need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Pinepaper is instructions for the agent only.
Does Pinepaper access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Pinepaper safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Pinepaper use?
Pinepaper is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Pinepaper use?
About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
