canvas-design

These are instructions for creating design philosophies - aesthetic movements that are then EXPRESSED VISUALLY. Output only .md files, .pdf files, and .png files.

Complete this in two steps:

1. Design Philosophy Creation (.md file)
2. Express by creating it on a canvas (.pdf file or .png file)

This skill is executed via the SkillBoss API Hub. All LLM calls are routed through POST https://api.skillboss.com/v1/pilot using SKILLBOSS_API_KEY for authentication. Use type: "chat" with prefer: "quality" to ensure the highest output quality for creative tasks. Example call:

import requests, os
SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]
response = requests.post(
    "https://api.skillboss.com/v1/pilot",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={"type": "chat", "inputs": {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": skill_prompt}]}, "prefer": "quality"},
    timeout=120,
)
result_text = response.json()["result"]["content"][0]["text"]

First, undertake this task:

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY CREATION

To begin, create a VISUAL PHILOSOPHY (not layouts or templates) that will be interpreted through:

• Form, space, color, composition
• Images, graphics, shapes, patterns
• Minimal text as visual accent

THE CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING

• What is received: Some subtle input or instructions by the user that should be taken into account, but used as a foundation; it should not constrain creative freedom.
• What is created: A design philosophy/aesthetic movement.
• What happens next: Then, the same version receives the philosophy and EXPRESSES IT VISUALLY - creating artifacts that are 90% visual design, 10% essential text.

Consider this approach:

• Write a manifesto for an art movement
• The next phase involves making the artwork

The philosophy must emphasize: Visual expression. Spatial communication. Artistic interpretation. Minimal words.

HOW TO GENERATE A VISUAL PHILOSOPHY

Name the movement (1-2 words): "Brutalist Joy" / "Chromatic Silence" / "Metabolist Dreams"

Articulate the philosophy (4-6 paragraphs - concise but complete):

To capture the VISUAL essence, express how the philosophy manifests through:

• Space and form
• Color and material
• Scale and rhythm
• Composition and balance
• Visual hierarchy
