What it does
Chardesk is an agent skill from Sayhi-bzb/CharDesk. Use CharDesk when work belongs on a shared spatial Canvas or Slide scene that humans and agents need to inspect, compose, or edit together.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/cli.md` and `references/connections.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A Unicode canvas for humans and AI. Draw diagrams, interfaces, and slides as editable text. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts
- “/chardesk”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed636ea. 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
Chardesk loads about 509 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 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.

- description
- Use CharDesk when work belongs on a shared spatial Canvas or Slide scene that humans and agents need to inspect, compose, or edit together.
CharDesk
CharDesk is the shared spatial workspace between humans and agents. It turns generated material, structured findings, and visual composition into a readable Canvas or Slide scene that both sides can inspect and edit. The rendered Cell surface is the working result; user direction and the existing document establish the scene, so stay on the requested target.
Use CharDesk when the task benefits from spatial organization, visible composition, or a persistent shared scene—when relationships, placement, or simultaneous inspection matter and the result should be read as a surface rather than as a one-dimensional file. Use ordinary file or shell tools when the task is only to generate or transform source material; pass an existing artifact into Canvas by reference when it is ready for projection.
Editable Freeform and native Slide pages own rendered Cell content. Canvas writes render input into Cells; Markdown and ANSI are input materials, not retained source documents. Native Slides are created and edited through MCP; do not author a Slide by writing a structured file from the Agent side.
Routing
- Create or style content with materials.
- Read, search, or edit the current live surface with Canvas tools.
- Create local artifacts or edit existing files with the CLI.
- Manage native Slide pages through the MCP lifecycle in Slides.
- Discover or repair tool access with connections.
Stay on the requested target. New local documents default to one Freeform
.chardesk file. Do not create Blackboard packages or substitute a new Canvas
for a requested edit.
Delivery
Perform available Agent actions. Hand off the result and only permission or restart actions that require the human.
