Visual Style Reference
Display resolution guidelines for different publishing platforms and curated style-modifier vocabulary to enhance visual prompts.
When to use
- User is planning a project and wants platform-specific resolution specs
- User is writing a prompt and wants style modifiers for professional, technical, editorial, or friendly aesthetics
- User wants to ensure visuals are correctly sized for their target platform
Inputs to gather
Optional: user can ask about a specific platform or style category. If none provided, display full reference.
Procedure
-
Determine user need. If user asks about a platform (web, print, social, presentation, whitepaper), show resolution guidelines for that platform. If asking about style (professional, technical, editorial, friendly), show vocabulary for that category.
-
Display resolution guidelines. Show the reference table:
Platform Recommended Resolution Notes
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Web/Blog 1920x1080 or 1200x800 Optimize for fast loading
Print Magazine 300 DPI, actual size Request CMYK-friendly colors
Social Media Platform-specific Square (1080x1080) works broadly
Presentation 1920x1080 16:9 aspect ratio
Whitepaper 1200x800 or full-page Balance quality and file size
-
Display style modifier vocabulary. Show categories with examples:
Professional / Corporate
• "clean, modern design"
• "professional color palette"
• "minimal, elegant composition"
• "corporate aesthetic"
• "sleek and polished"
Technical / Detailed
• "technical illustration style"

• "inviting and approachable"
• "personable and relatable"
-
Provide usage tips. Explain that these modifiers can be mixed and combined in prompts to achieve a specific aesthetic (e.g., "professional + modern + warm" for a friendly corporate context).
-
Answer follow-up questions. If user asks for clarification on a platform or style, expand with additional examples or context.
Output / side effects
- Reference tables and vocabulary displayed to user
- No files created or modified
- User has guidelines to make informed resolution and style choices for prompts and projects
Safety / constraints
- This is a reference-only skill; no generation or file operations.
- Provide accurate, current platform specifications (may need periodic review as social platforms update specs).
