  • Hand-writing request types
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Prerequisites, Instructions and Authentication, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Canva SDK Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement a narrow typed Canva Connect REST adapter from a pinned OpenAPI contract. Use when generating or hand-writing request types, response validation, error classification, and tenant-safe client boundaries. Trigger with: "Canva SDK pattern", "generate Canva client", "type Canva API".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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: Requires a pinned Canva OpenAPI snapshot and a backend credential/policy service; generated code is application-owned.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering OpenAPI specifications. It works with Canva and OpenAPI. 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

  • Hand-writing request types
  • Response validation
  • Error classification
  • Tenant-safe client boundaries

Example prompts

  • “Canva SDK pattern”
  • “generate Canva client”
  • “type Canva API”
  • “/canva-sdk-patterns”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a pinned Canva OpenAPI snapshot and a backend credential/policy service; generated code is application-owned.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Select the minimal surface
  2. Pin generation inputs
  3. Define adapter interfaces
  4. Keep policy outside
  5. Handle responses safely
  6. Constrain retries
  7. Test contract drift

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. 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
    • github.com

    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

    Requires a pinned Canva OpenAPI snapshot and a backend credential/policy service; generated code is application-owned.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Canva SDK Patterns loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 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
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
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 Typed REST Adapter

Overview

Treat the adapter as a transport boundary, not an authorization oracle or official Canva SDK. Keep policy and token rotation outside generic request methods, and tolerate documented non-breaking response additions.

Prerequisites

  • Language/runtime, package policy, and required operations
  • Pinned OpenAPI bytes/checksum and generation configuration
  • Authorization, token, data, retry, and test boundaries

Instructions

Step 1: Select the minimal surface

Use Read and Grep to list only required operations, scopes, request/response shapes, async job states, and preview flags.

Step 2: Pin generation inputs

Store or checksum the OpenAPI contract and generator version. Review endpoint, scope, enum, validation, and preview changes before regeneration.

Step 3: Define adapter interfaces

Use Write or Edit to expose explicit operation methods, normalized errors, response validation, timeout context, and opaque request/job metadata.

Step 4: Keep policy outside

Require an already-authorized tenant/resource decision and token lease. Do not let a generic client select roles, broaden scopes, refresh concurrently, or log bodies.

Step 5: Handle responses safely

Validate required fields, accept additive unknown fields where the contract allows, reject unsafe type/status drift, and model in-progress/success/failed without exhaustive assumptions about preview enums.

Step 6: Constrain retries

Retry only classified safe reads or reconciled operations under a bounded policy. Return authorization and throttling facts to their owning layers.

Step 7: Test contract drift

Exercise fixtures for success, provider errors, unknown fields, changed enums, malformed bodies, timeouts, duplicate prevention, and redaction.

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 generated TypeScript transport covers users, designs, and exports, but an application service still owns tenant authorization, refresh serialization, operation identity, and result retention.
