What it does

Canva Architecture Variants is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Choose a Canva Connect integration architecture from explicit trust, workload, and recovery constraints. Use when deciding between a backend monolith, service plus workers, or isolated multi-tenant services. Trigger with: "design Canva architecture", "scale Canva integration", "choose Canva topology".

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Architecture choices require a backend web application because Canva Connect secrets cannot be secured in browser-only clients.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Multi-tenancy. It works with Canva. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Deciding between a backend monolith
  • Service plus workers
  • Isolated multi-tenant services
  • With: design Canva architecture

Example prompts

  • “design Canva architecture”
  • “scale Canva integration”
  • “choose Canva topology”
  • “/canva-architecture-variants”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Architecture choices require a backend web application because Canva Connect secrets cannot be secured in browser-only clients.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Map trust boundaries
  2. Choose the base shape
  3. Design token rotation
  4. Design job reconciliation
  5. Design policy enforcement
  6. Record the decision

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • canva.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Architecture choices require a backend web application because Canva Connect secrets cannot be secured in browser-only clients.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Canva Architecture Variants loads about 998 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~998
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Canva Architecture Decision

Overview

Select the smallest topology that preserves backend OAuth, per-user token isolation, asynchronous job reconciliation, and policy-controlled data handling. Treat scale thresholds as measured local evidence, not Canva product limits.

Prerequisites

  • Expected operations, traffic shape, tenants, and recovery objectives
  • Data classification, retention policy, and secret backend
  • Current scopes, capabilities, preview dependencies, and deployment constraints

Instructions

Step 1: Map trust boundaries

Identify browser, backend, token store, job ledger, worker, data store, and Canva API boundaries. Mark every place customer content or credentials could cross.

Step 2: Choose the base shape

Use a backend monolith for one bounded service, a service plus worker when asynchronous jobs must outlive requests, or isolated services only when ownership and failure domains justify them.

Step 3: Design token rotation

Serialize refresh per Canva user, atomically replace the single-use refresh token, and separate access-token and refresh-token storage.

Step 4: Design job reconciliation

Persist opaque job identity before dispatch, poll with bounded backoff, and reconcile terminal state before repeating a mutating operation.

Step 5: Design policy enforcement

Resolve tenant, resource, explicit scope, capability, preview status, and data policy before dispatch rather than inside a generic HTTP client.

Step 6: Record the decision

Use Write or Edit to capture selected shape, rejected alternatives, assumptions, failure modes, rollback, and validation evidence.

Authentication

Canva Connect calls use Bearer access tokens obtained by a backend through OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with SHA-256 PKCE. Request explicit least-privilege scopes, keep client secrets and tokens out of browser-visible state, and serialize refresh so the replacement single-use refresh token is stored atomically.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep for discovery and evidence. Use Write or Edit only for the approved artifact, code, configuration, test, or receipt described by this workflow; do not make an unapproved Canva-side change.

Output

  • Scoped decision or implementation artifact
  • Redacted operation and validation receipt
  • Failure, rollback, and follow-up ownership record

Examples

A service exports designs asynchronously for multiple tenants. A backend owns OAuth and policy, a durable ledger owns job identity, and workers are partitioned by tenant without embedding user IDs in metrics.
