Pencilino

Pencilino gives your clients a simple way to edit their website. They click Edit on the page, change a text or an image, and save. No dashboard, no pagebuilder, no way to break the design.

It is made for custom WordPress themes built by an AI coding agent such as Codex, Claude, Gemini or Cursor. Pencilino gives that agent the rules to build the theme properly, and gives your client the editing layer on top.

For your clients

• Edit text, rich text, buttons and images right on the page, with the Edit button
• Images sit in fixed frames, so a new image never breaks the layout
• Content from other plugins (WordPress, ACF, JetEngine, WooCommerce) opens its own edit screen in a popup, with the clicked field highlighted
• Private comments on any part of the page, with pins and an inbox
• Focus mode for the users you choose: a simple top bar and a start on the website instead of the dashboard

For you as the developer

• AI instructions: default rules for front-end editing, templates, content, design system, mobile, speed, safety, SEO and checks. Add your own rules per topic. A connected agent reads everything itself with the pencilino/get-instructions ability.
• Clean-up prompt: one prompt that makes your agent check the whole site against the instructions and fix what slipped, ending with a short summary in plain words
• Dev mode: inspect the classes on any element, spot hard-coded values and adjust spacing with your own design system
• Templates: see every template of the theme and where it is used
• Change log: who changed what, where and when, with before and after
• Access: choose which user roles may edit on the website
• A simple SEO title and description box when no SEO plugin is active

Good to know

• Your website stays fast. Pencilino only loads for people who are logged in and allowed to edit. Visitors never load it.
• Turning Pencilino off is safe. Your agent builds a normal WordPress theme, so every page keeps showing its content without Pencilino.
• A theme you can hand over. One design system, real WordPress pages and images in the Media Library, so another developer can keep building.

Pencilino does not make an existing pagebuilder site or block theme editable. It works with themes built to use its helpers.
