Danila Poyarkov a4b810620f Add Programmable docs section with CLI, JSX, MCP, AI, Collab
New top-level nav section documenting OpenPencil's programmability:
- CLI: inspecting, exporting, analyzing, scripting (eval)
- JSX Renderer: elements, style props, visual diffing
- MCP Server: moved from Reference (setup + tool list)
- AI Chat: setup, 87 tools, example prompts
- Collaboration: room sharing, cursors, follow mode

Restructured sidebar:
- Programmable added to nav bar (7 locales)
- Context Menu moved from User Guide to Reference
- MCP and eval-command removed from Reference

Analyzing Designs Audit colors, typography, spacing, and repeated patterns in .fig files.

Analyzing Designs

The analyze commands audit an entire design system from the terminal — find inconsistencies, extract the real palette, spot components waiting to be extracted.

Colors

open-pencil analyze colors design.fig

Finds every color in the file, counts usage, and shows a visual histogram:

#1d1b20  ██████████████████████████████ 17155×
#49454f  ██████████████████████████████ 9814×
#ffffff  ██████████████████████████████ 8620×
#6750a4  ██████████████████████████████ 3967×

Typography

open-pencil analyze typography design.fig

Lists every font family, size, and weight combination with usage counts. Useful for spotting one-off text styles that should be consolidated.

Spacing

open-pencil analyze spacing design.fig

Audits gap and padding values across auto-layout frames. Helps identify spacing scale inconsistencies — e.g. a stray 13px gap among otherwise 8/16/24 values.

Clusters

open-pencil analyze clusters design.fig

Finds repeated node patterns that could be extracted into components:

3771× frame "container" (100% match)
     size: 40×40, structure: Frame > [Frame]

2982× instance "Checkboxes" (100% match)
     size: 48×48, structure: Instance > [Frame]

JSON Output

All analyze commands support --json for machine-readable output:

open-pencil analyze colors design.fig --json

Pipe into jq, feed into CI checks, or use in scripts that enforce design token budgets.
