pretext-art (MOVED TO skills/amw-pretext/)
Overview
Deprecated redirect stub. All pretext-art capability (kinetic typography, shaped containers, calligrams, wavy baseline, text-on-path, poster grids, typographic ASCII, and ~70 additional pretext techniques) has been consolidated into skills/amw-pretext/. Any request landing here is routed immediately to that skill.
Prerequisites
Standard plugin runtime — no skill-specific prerequisites beyond the global plugin dependencies.
Instructions
- Recognize that this skill is a redirect stub — it contains no operational logic and emits no artifacts.
- Re-route the incoming request immediately to SKILL.
- In that skill, identify the matching
category: art technique from the 78-technique catalog (kinetic typography, shaped containers, calligrams, wavy baseline, text-on-path, poster grid, typographic ASCII, and all other pretext effects).
- Follow the TECH reference file for the selected technique (found under
skills/amw-pretext/references/).
Route every art-focused pretext request to SKILL and pick the matching category: art technique from its catalog.
Examples
Concrete example — kinetic typography request:
- Input: "make the heading shrink and reflow as the user resizes the window" (legacy
pretext-art phrasing).
- Operation: redirect stub recognizes the request, routes immediately to SKILL. Decision tree there points at
TECH-33-kinetic-width-animation.md.
- Output: the redirect emits no artifact itself; the chosen TECH file's "Minimal example" section produces a runnable JS module that drives the kinetic reflow.
Concrete example — calligram request:
- Input: "render the word DRAGON in the shape of a dragon" (creative-text intent that lands here by legacy trigger).
- Operation: redirect to
skills/amw-pretext/; choose TECH-38-calligram-shape.md (or TECH-39-glyph-mask-calligram.md / TECH-44-outline-calligram.md depending on visual brief).
- Output: SVG calligram emitted by the destination TECH file's example pipeline. This stub itself emits nothing.
See SKILL for the full 78-technique catalog with minimal runnable examples in each TECH file.
Output
This stub produces no artifacts — it redirects. All output is produced by skills/amw-pretext/.
Error Handling
If this stub is invoked instead of amw-pretext: re-route the request to SKILL. This file contains no operational logic.
Resources
- SKILL — the unified pretext skill (all techniques)
- SKILL — orchestrator
The full pretext capability — Canvas / SVG creative text effects AND all API / measurement / layout / integration / tables / 3D / workflow / consult techniques — now lives at:
SKILL
The original 8 pretext-art effects (kinetic / shaped / wavy / tapering / poster-grid / custom / text-on-path / per-line-metrics) are catalogued as TECH files inside skills/amw-pretext/references/, alongside ~70 other techniques. See SKILL and its references catalog for the routing decision tree.
Activation
No dedicated slash command and no active implementation — this skill is a redirect stub only. Any request landing here is routed immediately to SKILL, which is invoked by the design-principles orchestrator during Phase B for all creative text / kinetic typography / calligram deliverables.
This skill is autonomous and self-contained — any agent (the main-agent, a sub-agent, or an external orchestrator) can use it by reading this SKILL.md and its references. The skill's techniques are NOT limited to what matching commands expose.
Action required
Route every art-focused pretext request to SKILL and pick the matching category: art technique from its catalog.
