OpenPencil Design

Generate production-quality vector designs by writing PenNode JSON trees. Use the op CLI or MCP tools to create, read, update, and delete nodes on the OpenPencil canvas.

When to Use

• Creating or modifying UI designs in .op files
• Using the op CLI to script design operations
• Designing via MCP tools (batch_design, insert_node, design_skeleton)
• Need reference for PenNode schema, roles, or layout rules
