What it does

Generate Social is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Generates platform-sized, on-brand social templates as SVG from the active brand profile, with editable headline, subhead, and call-to-action zones. Vector output needs no account, key, or network. Use when a user asks for an Instagram post or story, an Open Graph or social card, a YouTube thumbnail, or a banner. Trigger with "make an Instagram post", "social card", or "/brand-make social".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/platform-sizes.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Social media graphics. It works with Instagram and YouTube. 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

  • A user asks for an Instagram post
  • A YouTube thumbnail
  • With make an Instagram post
  • /brand-make social

Example prompts

  • “make an Instagram post”
  • “social card”
  • “/brand-make social”
  • “/generate-social”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Glob, Bash(node:*)

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run /brand-status to confirm the active brand; if none exists, tell the user to run /brand-new and stop.
  2. Use Glob to locate the active brand directory, then Read and validate the profile with validateProfile. Stop with the offending field if…
  3. Choose the platform preset — instagram-square (default), instagram-story, og-card, or youtube-thumb. Ask the user when unspecified.
  4. Generate the template by running the node generator
  5. Write the result with the Write tool to output/[slug]-[platform].svg.
  6. Hand the file to the visual-guardian subagent for a palette, contrast, and type pass; apply its fixes or surface its flags.
  7. Report the saved path and point out the editable zones so the user can customize or adapt the copy: id="headline", id="subhead", and…

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
    • Write
    • Glob
    • Bash(node:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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):

    • ogp.me
    • code.claude.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

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Generate Social loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 561 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Generate Social

Generates a platform-sized, on-brand social template as SVG from the active brand profile, with editable text zones the user can tweak afterward.

Overview

The generate-social skill turns a headline (and optional subhead and call-to-action) into a correctly sized social graphic that uses the brand's palette and fonts. Output is vector SVG, so it scales cleanly and needs no account, key, or network call. The generator (lib/social.mjs) lays out a brand band, a wrapped headline, an optional subhead, and an optional accent pill; the skill resolves the active profile, picks the platform, runs the generator, and saves the file. For a photographic background behind the template, the raster path lives in the generate-graphic skill.

Prerequisites

  • An active brand profile created with /brand-new (a brand/ directory, or brands/[slug]/). Read loads its color-system.json and typography.json.
  • Node.js on the PATH — the generator runs as node lib/social.mjs.
  • Write access to an output/ directory in the working repository.
  • A headline string; subhead and call-to-action are optional parameters.

Instructions

  1. Run /brand-status to confirm the active brand; if none exists, tell the user to run /brand-new and stop.

  2. Use Glob to locate the active brand directory, then Read and validate the profile with validateProfile. Stop with the offending field if validation fails.

  3. Choose the platform preset — instagram-square (default), instagram-story, og-card, or youtube-thumb. Ask the user when unspecified.

  4. Generate the template by running the node generator:

    js
    import { loadProfile } from '../../lib/brand.mjs';
    import { buildSocial } from '../../lib/social.mjs';
    const profile = loadProfile(activeDir);
    const { svg, platform } = buildSocial(profile, {
      platform: 'instagram-square',
      headline: 'We just raised our Series A',
      subhead: 'Building the future of logistics',
      cta: 'Read the story',
    });
  5. Write the result with the Write tool to output/[slug]-[platform].svg.

  6. Hand the file to the visual-guardian subagent for a palette, contrast, and type pass; apply its fixes or surface its flags.

  7. Report the saved path and point out the editable zones so the user can customize or adapt the copy: id="headline", id="subhead", and id="cta".

Output

One SVG file under output/, named for the slug and platform:

text
output/northwind-instagram-square.svg
  • Sized to the chosen platform (for example 1080×1080 for instagram-square).
  • Text sits in editable zones — id="headline", id="subhead", id="cta" — that wrap automatically.
  • All copy is HTML-escaped before it enters the markup; colors come from the palette only. No raster is produced.

Error Handling

ConditionBehavior
No active brand profileStop and direct the user to /brand-new.
Profile fails validateProfileReport the offending field and stop.
Headline missingAsk the user for the headline before generating.
Unknown platform requestedList the four supported presets and ask the user to pick one.
Headline too long for the canvasThe generator wraps text; verify the result and shorten copy if the guardian flags overflow.

To troubleshoot a clipped layout, verify the copy length against references/platform-sizes.md, then re-run and re-check with the guardian.

Examples

Example — launch announcement post

/brand-make an instagram post announcing our Series A

Builds a 1080×1080 square with the brand band, a wrapped headline, and an accent call-to-action, saved as output/northwind-instagram-square.svg.

Example — link card

/brand-make an og card for the blog post

Generates a 1200×630 Open Graph card sized for link previews and hands it to the guardian.

Example — story cover

/brand-make an instagram story

Produces a 1080×1920 story, insetting text clear of the platform's top and bottom safe zones.
