# Layui Design System Initializer

**Constraint**: Only use this skill when the user explicitly mentions "Pencil" and "Layui" (or "layui-vue") or when orchestrating a Pencil design system initialization task.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to initialize a new design system based on Layui specifications, specifically to set up the global color palette and create the initial component library frames in a .pen file.

## 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 Layui design tokens. Follow .pen file schema.

**Primary / Theme**
- `layui-primary`: `#1e9fff` (Layui default blue)
- `layui-normal`: `#1e9fff`
- `layui-warm`: `#ffb800`
- `layui-danger`: `#ff5722`

**Text & Border**
- `layui-text`: `#333333`
- `layui-border`: `#e6e6e6`

**Font & Radius**
- `layui-font-md`: `14px`
- `layui-radius`: `2px` (Layui default)

Fill from official Layui 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 Layui documentation:

1. **Basic (基础)**
   - Button, Form, Input, Textarea, Select, Checkbox, Radio, Switch
2. **Layout (布局)**
   - Container, Grid, Card
3. **Data (数据)**
   - Table, Tree, Pagination, Badge, Tag
4. **Feedback (反馈)**
   - Alert, Message, Modal, Drawer, Loading
5. **Navigation (导航)**
   - Menu, Tabs, Breadcrumb, Dropdown
6. **Other (其他)**
   - Icon, Divider, Timeline

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

## Best Practices

- Verify token values against Layui official documentation.
- Use `set_variables` with `replace: false` unless a full reset is requested.
- Use Auto Layout for component overview frames.

## 能力边界

### ✅ 适用场景
- 当你需要使用此技能对应的技术栈时
- 当项目需要遵循最佳实践时
- 当需要快速上手或深入理解核心概念时

### ⚠️ 需要注意
- 复杂业务逻辑需要结合具体场景调整
- 性能优化需要根据实际数据量评估

### ❌ 不适用场景
- 不相关的技术栈或框架
- 需要完全自定义的特殊场景

## 常见陷阱 (Gotchas)

1. **版本兼容性**：注意框架版本与依赖库的兼容性，不同版本 API 可能有差异
2. **配置文件格式**：配置文件格式错误是最常见的问题，建议使用编辑器的语法检查
3. **环境变量**：确保所有必要的环境变量已正确设置，敏感信息不要硬编码
4. **依赖冲突**：多版本共存时注意依赖冲突，使用 lock 文件锁定版本
5. **性能陷阱**：大数据量场景下注意性能优化，避免 N+1 查询等常见问题
