design-blog-hero

design-blog-hero is a skill for Claude Code from slogsdon/skills-design. It costs 119 tokens per session (2,430 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that creates two matching blog-header graphics: an Open Graph card for social link previews and a wide hero for the article page. Open Graph is the metadata format used by sites to display preview images when links are shared.

In plain words
What is it for?
It creates both canvases from a post title and optional supporting details such as a category, date, or accent word.
Why use it?
It avoids designing separate social-preview and article-header images for the same post.

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

design-blog-hero 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 12d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill: blog-hero

Produces a single self-contained HTML file containing TWO pixel-exact canvases:

  1. OG card (1200×630) — Open Graph / Twitter card dimensions for social link unfurls
  2. In-page hero (1440×600) — wide format for the article's header section on the site

The same headline + meta render in both canvases at appropriate proportions. Screenshot each canvas separately for its respective use.

When to use

  • Publishing a blog post / field note that needs both an OG meta image and a page header asset
  • A DESIGN.md exists for the brand

Inputs

  • Required: brand slug, post title / hero headline (1 sentence, ending in period per brand voice)
  • Optional: dek (1 supporting sentence), category label, dateline, optional type-accent word (one word in the headline to set in --color-accent)

Output

./design/<brand-slug>/artifacts/blog-hero-YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.html — single file, two canvases stacked vertically with a labeled header above each so it's clear which to screenshot for which use.

Steps

1. Verify brand exists

test -f ./design/<brand-slug>/tokens.css

If missing, stop and tell the user to run /design-system <brand-slug> first.

2. Gather the brief

Ask in one message:

1. Hero headline — the post's title, sentence-case ending in period (max ~12 words for legibility at OG thumbnail size)
2. Optional dek — 1 supporting sentence (max ~18 words)
3. Category label — short string (e.g. "field notes", "strategic insights")
4. Dateline — YYYY.MM.DD
5. Optional type-accent word — one word from the headline to set in the brand's accent color

3. Pick variation — ARCHITECTURE FIRST

Pick ONE archetype that applies to BOTH canvases (consistency between OG and in-page hero is important for brand recognition):

  • chrome-led — eyebrow + headline + dateline + category. Use cautiously — it's the AI-editorial default.
  • type-only — headline only at maximum scale; nothing else. Strongest for short titles.
  • inverse-text — body copy fills surface; headline carved out of the type wall.
  • object-of-content — looks like a fragment of the actual article (excerpt, pull-quote pattern, transcript line).
  • pattern-led — typographic pattern fills surface; headline is the punctum.

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.
