Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads canvas-design automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Canvas Design
Create visually striking static designs using HTML Canvas or Python imaging libraries.
Design Principles
Composition
- Rule of Thirds: Place key elements along grid lines
- Visual Hierarchy: Size, color, and position indicate importance
- White Space: Embrace negative space for elegance
- Balance: Symmetrical for formal, asymmetrical for dynamic
Color Theory
- Complementary: Colors opposite on wheel (high contrast)
- Analogous: Adjacent colors (harmonious)
- Triadic: Three equidistant colors (vibrant)
- Limit palette to 3-5 colors
Typography
- Pair one display font with one body font
- Maintain consistent hierarchy
- Ensure readability (contrast, size)
Python Canvas (Pillow + Cairo)
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
import cairo
# Create canvas
width, height = 1200, 800
surface = cairo.ImageSurface(cairo.FORMAT_ARGB32, width, height)
ctx = cairo.Context(surface)
# Background gradient
pattern = cairo.LinearGradient(0, 0, 0, height)
pattern.add_color_stop_rgb(0, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2)
pattern.add_color_stop_rgb(1, 0.05, 0.05, 0.1)
ctx.set_source(pattern)
ctx.paint()
# Draw shapes
ctx.set_source_rgba(1, 0.3, 0.3, 0.8)
ctx.arc(600, 400, 150, 0, 2 * 3.14159)
ctx.fill()
# Add text
ctx.set_source_rgb(1, 1, 1)
ctx.select_font_face("Sans", cairo.FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD)
ctx.set_font_size(48)
ctx.move_to(400, 600)
ctx.show_text("Hello Design")
# Save
surface.write_to_png("design.png")
HTML Canvas to Image
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = 1200;
canvas.height = 800;
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// Draw
ctx.fillStyle = '#1a1a2e';
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 1200, 800);
ctx.fillStyle = '#e94560';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(600, 400, 150, 0, Math.PI * 2);
ctx.fill();
// Export
const dataUrl = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
Design Styles
- Minimalist: Limited colors, lots of whitespace, clean lines
- Brutalist: Raw, bold typography, stark contrasts
- Glassmorphism: Frosted glass effects, subtle borders
- Retro/Vintage: Muted colors, textures, classic typography
- Abstract: Geometric shapes, gradients, artistic composition

Popular ai & agents skills
google-agents-cli-publish
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
google-agents-cli-eval
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
