About Pencil
Pencil — Pencil is an agent-driven Multi-Channel Platform (MCP) canvas designed to fundamentally increase engineering speed by integrating design directly into the preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such as VSCode and Cursor. It promotes 'Design right where you code' by utilizing an open design format that lives within the codebase. Pencil offers an infinite design canvas, AI multiplayer capabilities for parallel screen generation, precision tools for prompting, and a vector-to-code workflow to ship pixel-perfect, production-ready applications where code and design are always aligned and versioned with Git.
Top use cases
- Designing new products and features with pixel-perfect precision without leaving the development environment.
- Eliminating design handoffs by having design and code live under one roof.
- Accelerating workflow by using AI multiplayer to generate UI components and flows.
- Shipping production-ready apps with guaranteed code-design alignment.
- Integrating existing design systems directly from the codebase.

Frequently asked questions
What is the core philosophy behind Pencil?
Pencil's core philosophy is 'Design on canvas. Land in code.' It aims to fundamentally increase engineering speed by bringing designing directly into your preferred IDE, eliminating handoffs, and ensuring pixel-perfect code alignment.
How does Pencil handle design files?
Pencil uses a fully open file format, allowing users to read, debug, or extend design files. These files live directly in your code repository, enabling them to be versioned, branched, and merged using Git, just like regular development code.
Which IDEs is Pencil compatible with?
Pencil is available to add to Cursor and VSCode, and it is also listed on OPENVSX.
