SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @pen.dev/cli, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Design sprint teams need a realistic, testable prototype in a single day without writing production code, and this Skill provides the workflow to build disposable clickable facades matched to the uncertainty being tested. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dual-Fidelity Prototyping: Build low-fidelity clickable wireframes on tldraw Desktop or high-fidelity pixel-perfect screens via Google Stitch MCP with responsive HTML/CSS output. - Pencil.dev Exploration: Generate Crazy 8s concept boards and reconstruct existing iOS app UIs as editable layers using the headless pen CLI with design-system constraints from DESIGN.md. - Sprint Role Orchestration: Coordinate Maker, Stitcher, Writer, and Asset Collector roles with a zero Lorem Ipsum rule and a mandatory 15:00 Trial Run QA audit. - Use Case: On Thursday of a design sprint, generate a 12-screen checkout flow facade with authentic copy, wire the navigation links, and rehearse the full golden path before Friday's user interviews. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to build a Thursday Goldilocks prototype facade for your storyboard using Stitch MCP or tldraw, with authentic copy and a 15:00 trial run QA check.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a clickable prototype for a design sprint in one day?▼

Choose a fidelity tier based on what you are testing: use tldraw Desktop for schematic clickable wireframes or Google Stitch MCP for pixel-perfect HTML/CSS screens. Divide work across Maker, Stitcher, Writer, and Asset Collector roles, then run a 15:00 Trial Run QA before testing.

tldraw vs Google Stitch for rapid prototyping?▼

Use tldraw when testing rough layout, information architecture, and structural navigation with fast clickable frames. Use Google Stitch MCP when testing visual appeal, branding, conversion, or emotional resonance with pixel-perfect responsive HTML/CSS.

Can Pencil.dev recreate an existing iOS app UI?▼

Pencil.dev cannot pull a running native app into editable layers directly. Capture Simulator screenshots with xcrun simctl, import them as locked reference layers, and have the agent recreate the SwiftUI or UIKit views as editable Pencil layers using the source code as structural truth.

What are the requirements for using the Pencil pen CLI?▼

Install the CLI with npm install -g @pen.dev/cli, confirm Node.js 22.19 or later, and authenticate with pen login or PEN_CLI_KEY. You must also import the .lib.pen library and attach DESIGN.md to prompts so generated screens follow the design system.

When should I not use a prototype facade?▼

Do not use this workflow for storyboarding or feature decisions, writing production backend APIs or databases, or conducting 5-Act user interviews. The facade is a disposable testing artifact, not a production implementation.
