canvas-design

canvas-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,629 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for creating finished static visual designs such as posters, marketing graphics, brand assets, and PDF or PNG pieces. It focuses on the visual artifact itself rather than an interactive website or application screen.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for posters, covers, social graphics, and other fixed-size visual materials that need to be delivered as PDF or PNG files.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for turning a visual brief into a deliberate composition. It also sets expectations about formats, output location, and supporting image tools.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

canvas-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

When to use

Use when:

  • User asks for a poster, marketing visual, brand asset, social-media graphic, cover art
  • Output is a static .pdf or .png design piece (not a UI mockup, not a wireframe)
  • The deliverable is the visual artifact itself

Do NOT use when:

  • Designing a UI component or app screen → fe-design, ui-component-architect, react-shadcn-ui, blade-ui, flux
  • Tailwind / shadcn / Flux component styling → tailwind-engineer
  • Brand voice / tone definition → voice-and-tone-design
  • Release announcement copy → release-comms

Goal

Produce one finished visual artifact (.pdf or .png) backed by an original design philosophy. Both files ship together.

The work emphasizes: visual expression over text · original direction (no artist mimicry) · composition that looks deliberated, not generated.

Preconditions

  • Brief from user (theme, intent, occasion, target medium, size constraint)
  • Output directory: agents/design-assets/{slug}/ — create if missing
  • Image-generation tooling available (Python with Pillow / matplotlib / cairo, SVG → PNG conversion, or whatever the environment ships)

Procedure

1. Brief intake

One numbered-options block surfaces: theme / occasion · target medium + dimensions (web 1200×630? print A3? square 1080×1080?) · color & mood direction · hard constraints (logo required? color to avoid?) · single page or series.

If the brief says "in the style of [living artist]", flag the copyright risk and propose an original direction.

2. Design philosophy

Author agents/design-assets/{slug}/philosophy.md — 4–6 paragraphs naming:

  • Movement name — 1–2 words ("Chromatic Silence", "Brutalist Joy", "Analog Meditation")
  • Visual language — how the philosophy manifests through space, form, color, scale, composition, rhythm
  • Text role — sparse, accent only; never paragraphs
  • Craftsmanship anchor — visible deliberation, not template polish

Stay aesthetically specific but leave interpretive room for the canvas execution.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
