uCharts Design System Initializer
Constraint: Only use this skill when the user explicitly mentions "Pencil" and "uCharts" (or "qiun-data-charts") or when orchestrating a Pencil design system initialization task for charts.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when you need to initialize a chart/design system based on uCharts specifications in a .pen file: set up chart theme colors and create placeholder frames for chart types (line, bar, pie, etc.).
How to use this skill
This skill outputs a PENCIL_PLAN. The Agent then calls Pencil MCP tools in order: open_document, set_variables, batch_design, optionally get_screenshot.
Step 1: Initialize Variables (set_variables)
Use mcp__pencil__set_variables to register uCharts-related design tokens (chart theme colors, font). Follow .pen file schema.
Chart colors (series)
ucharts-color-1: #1890ff
ucharts-color-2: #52c41a
ucharts-color-3: #faad14
ucharts-color-4: #f5222d
ucharts-color-5: #722ed1
Axis / grid
ucharts-axis-color: #e8e8e8
ucharts-text-color: #666666
ucharts-font-size: 12px
Fill from uCharts theme docs if more tokens are needed.
Step 2: Create Component Overview Structure (batch_design)
Use mcp__pencil__batch_design to create a "Charts Overview" frame with placeholder sections for chart types (data-viz components):
- Basic Charts (基础图表)
- Line, Area, Column, Bar, Pie, Ring, Radar, Scatter
- Combined / Advanced (组合与进阶)
- Mix (mixed charts), Funnel, Candlestick, Heatmap, Gauge, WordCloud
- Containers (容器)
- Chart container placeholder, Legend placeholder
Organize frames using Auto Layout. Keep each batch_design call to maximum 25 operations.
Best Practices
- Verify token values against uCharts theme documentation.
- Use
set_variables with replace: false unless a full reset is requested.
- Chart "components" here are placeholder frames for layout; actual chart config is code-side.

能力边界
✅ 适用场景
- 当你需要使用此技能对应的技术栈时
- 当项目需要遵循最佳实践时
- 当需要快速上手或深入理解核心概念时
⚠️ 需要注意
- 复杂业务逻辑需要结合具体场景调整
- 性能优化需要根据实际数据量评估
❌ 不适用场景
常见陷阱 (Gotchas)
- 版本兼容性:注意框架版本与依赖库的兼容性,不同版本 API 可能有差异
- 配置文件格式:配置文件格式错误是最常见的问题,建议使用编辑器的语法检查
- 环境变量:确保所有必要的环境变量已正确设置,敏感信息不要硬编码
- 依赖冲突:多版本共存时注意依赖冲突,使用 lock 文件锁定版本
- 性能陷阱:大数据量场景下注意性能优化,避免 N+1 查询等常见问题
