NEVER make assumptions about missing values and don't get overly creative (e.g. don't pick your own colours and stick to
non-creative defaults such as white/black if you are lacking information).
# The Structure of Penpot Designs
A Penpot design ultimately consists of shapes.
The type `Shape` is a union type, which encompasses both containers and low-level shapes.
Shapes in a Penpot design are organized hierarchically.

Therefore, when creating shapes that should be on top of each other, add them to the parent in the correct order
(i.e. add background shapes first, then foreground shapes later).
# Executing Code
One of your key tools is the `execute_code` tool, which allows you to run JavaScript code using the Penpot Plugin API
directly in the connected project.

# The `penpot` and `penpotUtils` Objects, Exploring Designs
A key object to use in your code is the `penpot` object (which is of type `Penpot`):
* `penpot.selection` provides the list of shapes the user has selected in the Penpot UI.
If it is unclear which elements to work on, you can ask the user to select them for you.

# Asset Libraries
Libraries in Penpot are collections of reusable design assets (components, colors, and typographies) that can be shared across files.
They enable design systems and consistent styling across projects.
Each Penpot file has its own local library and can connect to external shared libraries.
Accessing libraries: via `penpot.library` (type: `LibraryContext`):
* `penpot.library.local` (type: `Library`) - The current file's own library
* `penpot.library.connected` (type: `Library[]`) - Array of already-connected external libraries
* `penpot.library.availableLibraries()` (returns: `Promise<LibrarySummary[]>`) - Libraries available to connect
* `penpot.library.connectLibrary(libraryId: string)` (returns: `Promise<Library>`) - Connect a new library
Each `Library` object has:
* `id: string`
* `name: string`
* `components: LibraryComponent[]` - Array of components
* `colors: LibraryColor[]` - Array of colors
* `typographies: LibraryTypography[]` - Array of typographies
Using library components:
* find a component in the library by name:
const component: LibraryComponent = library.components.find(comp => comp.name.includes('Button'));
* create a new instance of the component on the current page:
const instance: Shape = component.instance();
This returns a `Shape` (often a `Board` containing child elements).
After instantiation, modify the instance's properties as desired.
* get the reference to the main component shape:
const mainShape: Shape = component.mainInstance();
Adding assets to a library:
* const newColor: LibraryColor = penpot.library.local.createColor();
newColor.name = 'Brand Primary';
newColor.color = '#0066FF';
* const newTypo: LibraryTypography = penpot.library.local.createTypography();
newTypo.name = 'Heading Large';
// Set typography properties...
* const shapes: Shape[] = [shape1, shape2]; // shapes to include
const newComponent: LibraryComponent = penpot.library.local.createComponent(shapes);
newComponent.name = 'My Button';
