## What it does

This skill structures the workflow for text graphics and quote cards using the QUOTE framework. Instead of pasting full paragraphs onto an image, the agent selects one standalone line or verified stat, sets line breaks by meaning, and specs the visual hierarchy. The agent does not render images directly: it produces layout specs for tools like Canva, waits for human approval, and routes to publishing tools.

The process enforces clear mobile constraints: at most two brand fonts, high contrast, and a minimum text size around 24pt for thumb readability. Fictional quotes, unattributed lines, and stripped context are strictly barred.

npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill quote-cards-and-text-graphics -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- specify layout and typography for a standalone quote card
- format a single research stat as a high-contrast text card
- break long sentences into readable lines with clear emphasis
- verify quote attribution and consent before visual rendering

## Example prompts
- Turn the main takeaway from this draft into a quote card spec.
- Create a text card layout for this stat using the QUOTE framework.

  The craft of turning a single quote, line, or stat into a designed typographic graphic — quote
  cards, pull-quotes, text-on-image, stat cards, typography posts. Use when someone wants a quote card,
  a text graphic, a pull-quote, a stat card, or to turn a strong line into a shareable image. The
  design amplifies a strong line; it can't create one. Uses the QUOTE framework. Reads brand-profile +
  design-and-templates + voice-builder first, and pulls the line from hook-writer, storytelling, or
  data-and-original-research (a stat). The agent picks the line and specs the card; a design tool
  renders; the human approves;
  WoopSocial publishes the image (it does not generate media). NEVER fabricates a quote, attributes an
  invented line to a real person, or strips context; verifies wording + source; consent + likeness.
  Distinct from infographic-and-data-viz, design-and-templates, caption-writer, and
  social-proof-and-testimonials.

# quote-cards-and-text-graphics

The **typographic-graphic craft** — pick a quotable line, keep it undistorted + attributed, make one idea
outsized, type it on-brand, and ensure legibility. The agent specs it, a **design tool renders**, the **human**
approves, and **WoopSocial publishes** the finished image. (A lone big stat from `infographic-and-data-viz` lands
here.)

## The POV: a mini-billboard for one idea — that must stay honest
A quote card packages one idea into something people want to **save and re-share** — a mini-billboard for a single
thought. Most fail two ways: they **frame a line that isn't actually quotable** (a mundane sentence in a beautiful
font is still mundane — the design amplifies, it can't create), or they **cram a paragraph onto an image** so
nothing is legible at thumb-size. Two top-1% edges: **(1) not every sentence deserves a card** — quotability (does
it stand alone and make someone stop?) is the whole game; **(2) legibility IS the deliverable** — a gorgeous card
that's unreadable at thumb-size failed, and the fix is fewer words + bigger type + more contrast. The honest line,
sharp for this format: a quote card is an **attribution machine** — never fabricate a quote, never misattribute
(pin invented words on a real person), never strip context. **A misattributed quote card is misinformation with
nice typography.**

## Read these first
1. **brand-profile** + **design-and-templates** — the brand visual system.
2. **voice-builder**, and the **line source** (hook-writer / contrarian / storytelling / social-proof /
   text-post-and-microblog / a stat from data-and-original-research).

## The framework: QUOTE
