Ant Design System Initializer Skill

Ant Design System Initializer

Constraint: Only use this skill when the user explicitly mentions "Pencil" and "Ant Design" (or "antd") or when orchestrating a Pencil design system initialization task.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

The user wants to initialize Ant Design tokens (colors, typography, radius) in a Pencil .pen file
The user needs a component overview frame for antd components in Pencil
The user mentions "Pencil" together with "Ant Design", "antd", or antd-specific components (Button, Table, Modal, Form)
An orchestrator skill (pencil-ui-designer) routes an antd initialization request

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 Ant Design design tokens. Follow .pen file schema.

Primary / Semantic

ant-primary: #1677ff
ant-primary-hover: #4096ff
ant-success: #52c41a
ant-warning: #faad14
ant-error: #ff4d4f
ant-info: #1677ff

Neutral / Text

ant-text: #000000e0
ant-text-secondary: #00000073
ant-border: #d9d9d9
ant-bg: #ffffff

Font & Radius

ant-font-size-base: 14px
ant-border-radius: 6px

Fill from Ant Design token docs if more tokens are needed.

Step 2: Create Component Overview Structure (batch_design)

Use mcp__pencil__batch_design to create a "Components Overview" frame with sections based on Ant Design documentation:

General (通用)
- Button, Icon, Typography
Layout (布局)
- Grid, Divider, Space
Navigation (导航)
- Affix, Breadcrumb, Dropdown, Menu, Pagination, Steps, Tabs
Data Entry (数据录入)
- AutoComplete, Cascader, Checkbox, DatePicker, Form, Input, InputNumber, Radio, Rate, Select, Slider, Switch, TimePicker, Transfer, Upload
Data Display (数据展示)
- Avatar, Badge, Calendar, Card, Carousel, Collapse, Descriptions, Empty, Image, List, Popover, Statistic, Table, Tabs, Tag, Timeline, Tooltip, Tree
Feedback (反馈)
- Alert, Drawer, Message, Modal, Notification, Progress, Result, Skeleton, Spin

Organize frames using Auto Layout. Keep each batch_design call to maximum 25 operations.

Example: Initialize Ant Design Variables

{
  "name": "set_variables",
  "arguments": {
    "filePath": "designs/app.pen",
    "replace": false,
    "variables": {
      "ant-primary": "#1677ff",
      "ant-success": "#52c41a",
      "ant-warning": "#faad14",
      "ant-error": "#ff4d4f",
      "ant-text": "#000000e0",
      "ant-border": "#d9d9d9",
      "ant-font-size-base": "14px",
      "ant-border-radius": "6px"
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

Verify token values against Ant Design token documentation.
Use set_variables with replace: false unless a full reset is requested.
Use Auto Layout for component overview frames.
Keep each batch_design call to maximum 25 operations; split by category if needed.
