SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill helps you produce original, design-forward visual artwork such as posters and static art pieces without copying existing artists' work, guiding the creation process through a structured design philosophy. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Philosophy Generation: Writes a named aesthetic movement manifesto as a Markdown file that drives the visual direction of the artwork. - Canvas Artwork Creation: Expresses the philosophy as a single-page, highly visual PNG or PDF composition with minimal, integrated typography. - Bundled Font Library: Ships a canvas-fonts directory of SIL Open Font License typefaces (e.g., Bricolage Grotesque, Jura, Gloock) for design-forward typography. - Use Case: Ask for a poster for a jazz night; the Skill first writes a design philosophy .md file, then produces a polished single-page PDF poster with subtle conceptual references woven into the composition. ## Quick Start Create a museum-quality poster about ocean conservation as a PDF using the canvas-design skill.
