SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Design assets often get produced without a format-aware plan, leading to cropped text, wrong ratios, unreadable social posts, and unapproved claims. This Skill enforces a surface-specific architecture derived from a canonical design.md before any asset is created. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Output Mode Selection: Choose from 20 predefined ratios and formats including social-square, story-reel, deck-wide, A4 print, and web breakpoints. - Surface Architecture Template: Generate a structured specification covering hierarchy, safe areas, grid, typography limits, CTA placement, motion adaptation, and export format. - Platform QA Gate: Validate ratio correctness, safe-area compliance, text readability, claim approval status, and alignment with design.md before production. - Use Case: Before designing an Instagram carousel and a 16:9 pitch deck for a product launch, use this Skill to define each surface's grid, safe areas, copy density, and export rules so both assets stay on-brand and readable. ## Quick Start Define the platform output architecture for a 4:5 Instagram portrait post and a 16:9 launch deck using the rules in design.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about platform-output-architecture

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a design layout before creating assets?▼

Start from a canonical design.md, select the output ratio and format, then fill a surface architecture template covering grid, margins, safe areas, hierarchy, typography limits, and export rules. Validate the result against a platform QA checklist before production.

What aspect ratios should I use for social media posts?▼

Use 1:1 for square feed posts, 4:5 for portrait feed posts, 9:16 for stories and reels, and 1.91:1 for link previews. Stories and reels require larger type than feed posts to remain readable on mobile.

Can I crop one aspect ratio directly into another?▼

No. The rules prohibit direct cropping between ratios when recomposition is required. Each format needs its own layout adaptation so critical text stays inside safe areas and hierarchy remains intact.

What happens if design.md is missing or outdated?▼

Work stops and returns to the master or context architect to create or update design.md first. Surface architecture must derive from a current canonical source, so stale or contradicted inputs block production.

Does this workflow handle print formats like A4?▼

Yes. A4 portrait and landscape are supported output modes. Print outputs require print-safe margins and high contrast, while claim-heavy outputs additionally need documented approval status.
