What canvas-design does

canvas-design creates visual artwork in PNG and PDF, including posters, illustrations, and other static pieces. Its description focuses on design philosophy and aesthetic principles. It does not spell out specific image-making steps.

The catalogue entry helps an agent discover the skill during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original scripts, assets, and references, install the bundle in the active agent's skills directory. The catalogue entry alone does not provide that full workflow.

For Claude Code, run npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill canvas-design -a claude-code. The skill file is located at ~/.claude/skills/canvas-design/SKILL.md. Then ask the agent to invoke canvas-design by name, or request a poster or illustration directly.

What it helps with

  • create a poster as a PNG
  • prepare an illustration as a PDF
  • make a static visual piece from a prompt

Example prompts for the agent

  • Use `canvas-design` to create a poster as a PNG.
  • Make an illustration and prepare it as a PDF.
