Work with Pencil .pen design files via the Pencil MCP (batch_design, variables, guidelines). Use when creating or editing .pen files, exploring UI layouts in Pencil, generating wireframes for EduHub, or when the user mentions Pencil, .pen, or the highagency Pencil extension.
Inspect UI via cursor-ide-browser (Cursor Browser tab); fall back to user-playwright if internal browser MCP is unavailable. Use for @Browser, open tab, layout checks, localhost — or when user explicitly asks for Playwright.
Use this skill to generate well-branded interfaces and assets for EduHub by opencampus.sh, either for production or throwaway prototypes/mocks/etc. Contains essential design guidelines, colors, type, fonts, assets, and UI kit components for prototyping.
Draft and review EduHub commit messages using the repository's conventional-commit and semantic-release workflow. Use when writing commit messages, choosing feat vs fix vs chore, deciding whether a body is needed, preparing merge commit messages, or explaining release impact.
Create a GitHub issue on eduhub-org/eduhub and add it to the "EduHub Development" project board with a chosen Status (Backlog / Todo / In Progress / Done). Use when the user asks to "create an issue", "file a ticket", "add to backlog", or otherwise wants a new issue tracked on the project board.
Create and review EduHub Hasura schema migrations. Use when adding tables, columns, constraints, relationships, or other database schema changes, and when coordinating the required metadata, query, type-generation, and function follow-up steps.
Apply EduHub frontend conventions for components, layout, translations, TableGrid usage, and responsive behavior. Use when creating or refactoring frontend components or pages in the Next.js app.

.pen files with the Read or Grep tools — they are encrypted/binary; use Pencil MCP tools only.batch_design.json); parameters must match exactly./home/steffen/git/eduhub/design/<name>.pen. Open with open_document using that path or "new", then save from Pencil if the file should live in git.get_editor_state — see active document and top-level node IDs.open_document — pass an absolute .pen path or "new" if nothing is open.get_guidelines — list guides/styles; load Web App, Design System, Table, etc. as needed for the task.get_variables — if {} or missing keys, tokens like $--background resolve to black (#000000) in the canvas.batch_design — insert/update frames and content; max ~25 operations per call; every I/C/R needs a binding name; follow property rules in the tool description (e.g. alignItems only start/center/end, no invalid node props).batch_get — inspect nodes; use resolveVariables: true to see resolved colors (when variables are defined).set_variables — define colors/strings/numbers before or after designs; variable names without $ (e.g. --background); reference in nodes as $--background. For theme-aware colors, use the { value, theme } array form from set_variables docs.replace_all_matching_properties — bulk fix baked colors (e.g. replace #000000 fills) under chosen parent node IDs.get_screenshot — verify layout after substantive changes when needed.On a new or empty-variable document, $--* fills and text often resolve to black. Before or right after building screens:
set_variables with at least --background, --foreground, --muted-foreground, --card, --border, --primary, --secondary (and --radius-m / --radius-pill if used in cornerRadius), orbatch_design U(...) / I(...) (e.g. fill: "#EBEBEB") for wireframes that must always read clearly.If nodes already show black, use replace_all_matching_properties (fillColor, textColor, strokeColor) from #000000 to intended values under the screen parent IDs, then fine-tune with U(...).
When designing screens that will be implemented in the app, cross-check frontend-nx/apps/edu-hub/.cursor/rules/theme-and-styling.mdc for semantic tokens (e.g. brand green, label/fill/border roles). Pencil variables can mirror those roles even if hex values are approximations for the design file.
Use the Pencil MCP server enabled in Cursor (e.g. user-highagency.pencildev-extension-pencil). Tool names include: get_editor_state, open_document, get_guidelines, get_variables, set_variables, batch_get, batch_design, snapshot_layout, get_screenshot, find_empty_space_on_canvas, search_all_unique_properties, replace_all_matching_properties, export_nodes.
