Full-stack-skills pencil-ui-design-system-bootstrap

Initialize Bootstrap design tokens and component overview frames in a Pencil .pen file. Use when the user mentions Pencil with Bootstrap, needs to set up Bootstrap color palette and typography variables, or wants to create component library frames for Grid, Card, Modal, Navbar, and other Bootstrap components.

Bootstrap Design System Initializer

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

When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

  • The user wants to initialize Bootstrap tokens (primary, secondary, danger, warning colors) in a Pencil .pen file
  • The user needs a component overview frame for Bootstrap components in Pencil
  • The user mentions "Pencil" together with "Bootstrap" or Bootstrap-specific components (Card, Modal, Navbar, Grid)
  • An orchestrator skill (pencil-ui-designer) routes a Bootstrap 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 Bootstrap design tokens. Follow .pen file schema.

Primary / Semantic

  • bs-primary
    :
    #0d6efd
  • bs-secondary
    :
    #6c757d
  • bs-success
    :
    #198754
  • bs-danger
    :
    #dc3545
  • bs-warning
    :
    #ffc107
  • bs-info
    :
    #0dcaf0
  • bs-light
    :
    #f8f9fa
  • bs-dark
    :
    #212529

Body & Border

  • bs-body-color
    :
    #212529
  • bs-border-color
    :
    #dee2e6
  • bs-border-radius
    :
    0.375rem
    (6px)

Font

  • bs-font-size-base
    :
    1rem
    (16px)

Fill from Bootstrap Sass variables / CSS variables 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 Bootstrap documentation:

  1. Layout
    • Container, Grid, Stack
  2. Content
    • Typography, Images, Tables
  3. Forms
    • Form, Input, Select, Checkbox, Radio, Switch, Range
  4. Components
    • Accordion, Alert, Badge, Breadcrumb, Buttons, Button group, Card, Carousel, Close button, Collapse, Dropdowns, List group, Modal, Navbar, Offcanvas, Pagination, Placeholders, Popovers, Progress, Scrollspy, Spinners, Toasts, Tooltips
  5. Utilities
    • Borders, Colors, Display, Flex, Float, Spacing

Organize frames using Auto Layout. Keep each

batch_design
call to maximum 25 operations.

Example: Initialize Bootstrap Variables

{
  "name": "set_variables",
  "arguments": {
    "filePath": "designs/app.pen",
    "replace": false,
    "variables": {
      "bs-primary": "#0d6efd",
      "bs-secondary": "#6c757d",
      "bs-success": "#198754",
      "bs-danger": "#dc3545",
      "bs-warning": "#ffc107",
      "bs-body-color": "#212529",
      "bs-border-color": "#dee2e6",
      "bs-border-radius": "6px"
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

  • Verify token values against Bootstrap docs (Sass/CSS variables).
  • 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.
