When to use this skill
Intent Recognition (CRITICAL)
Even if a trigger phrase matches, you must verify the user's intent:
- Is the user explicitly asking to use "Pencil"?
- Is the current conversation context clearly about "Pencil" design tasks?
If the answer is NO, do NOT use this skill. (e.g., "Get screenshot" might refer to a browser screenshot via Puppeteer).
CRITICAL PREREQUISITE: You must ONLY use this skill when the user EXPLICITLY mentions "Pencil".
ALWAYS use this skill when:
- You have completed a design operation (
batch_design) and need to verify the result in Pencil. - The user asks to "Show me" or "Take a look" at the Pencil design.
- You need to check for visual bugs (text overflow, alignment, contrast).
- This is the Verify step in the Design Loop.
Trigger phrases include:
- "Get Pencil screenshot" (获取 Pencil 截图)
- "Pencil visual check" (Pencil 视觉检查)
- "Verify Pencil design" (验证 Pencil 设计)
- "Show me the button in Pencil" (给我看 Pencil 里的那个按钮)
