Element Plus Design System Initializer Skill

Element Plus Design System Initializer

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

When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

The user wants to initialize Element Plus tokens (primary, success, warning, danger colors) in a Pencil .pen file
The user needs a component overview frame for Element Plus components in Pencil
The user mentions "Pencil" together with "Element", "Element Plus", or Element-specific components (Table, Form, Dialog, Menu)
An orchestrator skill (pencil-ui-designer) routes an Element Plus 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 Element Plus design tokens. Follow .pen file schema.

Primary / Semantic

el-color-primary: #409eff
el-color-success: #67c23a
el-color-warning: #e6a23c
el-color-danger: #f56c6c
el-color-info: #909399

Text & Border

el-text-color-primary: #303133
el-text-color-regular: #606266
el-text-color-secondary: #909399
el-border-color: #dcdfe6
el-border-radius-base: 4px

Font

el-font-size-base: 14px

Fill from Element Plus theme 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 Element Plus documentation:

Basic (基础)
- Button, Link, Icon
Layout (布局)
- Container, Grid, Divider
Form (表单)
- Radio, Checkbox, Input, InputNumber, Select, Cascader, Switch, Slider, TimePicker, DatePicker, DateTimePicker, Form, Upload, Rate
Data (数据)
- Table, Tag, Progress, Tree, Pagination, Avatar, Skeleton, Empty
Navigation (导航)
- Menu, Tabs, Breadcrumb, PageHeader, Dropdown, Steps
Feedback (反馈)
- Alert, Loading, Message, MessageBox, Notification, Dialog, Drawer, Popover, Tooltip

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

Example: Initialize Element Plus Variables

{
  "name": "set_variables",
  "arguments": {
    "filePath": "designs/app.pen",
    "replace": false,
    "variables": {
      "el-color-primary": "#409eff",
      "el-color-success": "#67c23a",
      "el-color-warning": "#e6a23c",
      "el-color-danger": "#f56c6c",
      "el-text-color-primary": "#303133",
      "el-border-color": "#dcdfe6",
      "el-font-size-base": "14px"
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

Verify token values against Element Plus theme 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.
