Creative Visual Production

Umbrella skill for visual and motion output. Pick the subsection by artifact class, load supporting references only when needed, and verify the produced file or render.

Text and ASCII visuals

• ascii-art: banners, cowsay/boxes, image-to-ASCII stills.
• ascii-video: colored ASCII MP4/GIF, terminal-style animations, audio-reactive ASCII.
• pretext: DOM-free text layout, kinetic typography, text-as-geometry browser demos.

Diagrams and sketches

• excalidraw: hand-drawn .excalidraw architecture, flow, and sequence diagrams.
• sketch: throwaway HTML mockups with 2–3 variants for comparison.
• claude-design: one-off polished HTML artifacts, landing pages, decks, prototypes.
• design-md: DESIGN.md design-token specs for coding agents.
• popular-web-designs: real brand/style templates for web UI direction.

Illustration and comics

• baoyu-article-illustrator: article illustrations with type × style × palette consistency.
• baoyu-comic: knowledge comics, educational explainers, biographies, tutorials.
• pixel-art: retro pixel-art conversion/generation using era palettes.

Programmatic animation and media generation

• p5js: creative coding, canvas, interactive visualization, shaders, WebGL.
• manim-video: mathematical/algorithmic explainers and 3Blue1Brown-style animations.
• comfyui: image/video/audio generation via ComfyUI workflows and API.

Verification

• For files: confirm output exists and has the expected extension/size.
• For browser demos: open or render a screenshot if possible.
• For generated media: report exact path(s), workflow used, and any model/API limitations.

Common pitfalls

• Do not flatten large package references; preserve support files under this skill if absorbed.
• Avoid one giant prompt for multi-frame/multi-scene work; separate style, storyboard, and render parameters.
• If a generator or dependency is unavailable, state the blocker and offer a fallback artifact type.
