This skill directs Claude to produce original static visual artwork, such as posters or art pieces, delivered as PDF or PNG files. According to the SKILL.md instructions, the process has two stages: first writing a short design philosophy document (an aesthetic direction expressed in prose) as a Markdown file, and then translating that philosophy into a visual composition where text is kept minimal and information is conveyed through space, color, and form. The instructions call for a single cohesive page by default, with careful attention to margins and non-overlapping elements, and allow for optional multi-page output. Fonts are selected from a local canvas-fonts directory rather than default typesetting. The instructions also explicitly state that existing artists' work should not be copied, and include a refinement pass focused on polishing the existing composition rather than adding new elements.
What you can do with canvas-design
- Generate a written design philosophy as a Markdown file describing an aesthetic direction
- Produce a single-page visual artwork as a PDF or PNG based on that philosophy
- Request multi-page output bundled into one PDF or as multiple PNG files
- Have typography drawn from a local canvas-fonts directory rather than default fonts
- Ask for a refinement pass that tightens an existing composition instead of adding new elements
