## What it does

The skill plans static graphics for Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, and Pinterest. It determines dimensions and drafts copy with headlines under ten words alongside a short call to action. All details are organized into a structured Social Graphic Spec.

Rendering runs through `docs/creative_cli.py` using `fal-ai/nano-banana-pro`. Direct image creation requires `FAL_API_KEY` or `FAL_KEY`. Without credentials, the skill outputs a ready-to-run terminal command instead.

Because `nano-banana-pro` renders complex lettering poorly, prompts explicitly reserve empty space for adding final text overlays in an external tool.

## Requirements
- Works with: LinkedIn

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sanky369/vibe-building-skills --skill social-graphics -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/social-graphics/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/social-graphics/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sanky369/vibe-building-skills --skill social-graphics -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/social-graphics/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add sanky369/vibe-building-skills --skill social-graphics -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/social-graphics/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**

```bash
npx skills add sanky369/vibe-building-skills --skill social-graphics -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

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

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/sanky369/vibe-building-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/creative/social-graphics/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- calculate exact image dimensions and aspect ratios across social networks
- draft concise overlay copy with headlines and action-focused CTAs
- build structured generation prompts with reserved negative space
- adapt a single creative concept to multiple platform formats

## Example prompts
- Draft a product launch graphic for Instagram feed and LinkedIn
- Create a Pinterest pin and a TikTok cover for my new tutorial
- Adapt this announcement banner into a 4:5 Instagram carousel

description: "Produce platform-correct social media graphics: pick the right dimensions and layout per platform, write the headline/body/CTA copy, build the generation prompt, and generate the image via the repo's FAL.ai pipeline. Use whenever the user wants a social post visual, Instagram post/story/carousel, LinkedIn graphic, Twitter/X image, TikTok thumbnail, Pinterest pin, launch announcement graphic, or 'something to post about X' — even if they never name a platform. Also use to adapt one design across several platforms. Produces a Social Graphic Spec per asset (platform, dimensions, layout, copy, full generation prompt) plus generated images when FAL_API_KEY is available."

# Social Graphics

Turn a message and a platform into ready-to-post graphics. For each asset you produce a **Social Graphic Spec** — platform, exact dimensions, layout, overlay copy, and a complete generation prompt — then generate the image through the repo pipeline (`docs/creative_cli.py`, model `fal-ai/nano-banana-pro`). The governing principle: **a social graphic is read for under two seconds** — one message, one focal point, one CTA; if a viewer can't get the point from a thumbnail-sized glance, the design fails regardless of how good it looks full-size.

## When to use / when not to

- Use for platform-bound static visuals: feed posts, stories, pins, link-preview images, announcement graphics, quote cards, carousels.
- Logos, icons, patterns, brand marks → `skills/creative/brand-asset`.
- Standalone product hero shots (no platform framing, no overlay copy) → `skills/creative/product-photography`.
- Motion content → `skills/creative/product-video` (product-led) or `skills/creative/talking-head` (person-led).
- No brand style yet and the user wants a consistent look → run `skills/creative/creative-strategist` first; its style guide feeds this skill.
- If the visual language itself feels generic and needs an original identity → `skills/creative/original-design` first.

## Intake

Ask in one tight batch, only what's missing:

1. **Message** — what is this post saying, in one sentence? What should the viewer do (CTA)?
2. **Platform(s) and format** — Instagram feed/story/carousel, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, Pinterest? One platform or a multi-platform set?
3. **Brand constraints** — style guide from `skills/creative/creative-strategist`, brand colors/fonts, product imagery to feature?
4. **Tone** — professional, trendy, minimalist, playful?

Infer instead of asking: tone from the platform (LinkedIn → professional; TikTok → energetic), colors from any brand materials in the project. **Don't stall:** with a clear message and platform, state assumptions for the rest and proceed.

## Platform specifications (source of truth for dimensions)

| Platform | Format | Pixels | CLI aspect-ratio | Design posture |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instagram | Feed post | 1080×1080 | `1:1` | vibrant, high contrast, trending aesthetic |
```
