At a glance

Create, export, and manage Canva designs via the Connect API.

  • Works in 3 steps: Create a Canva Integration → Set Environment Variables → Authenticate (first time)
  • Tasks that involve Social media posts
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Prerequisites, API Base URL and Authentication, plus 8 more sections
  • Calls curl and jq; reaches api.canva.com; needs ACCESS_TOKEN and CANVA_CLIENT_SECRET

What it does

Canva is an agent skill from NeverSight/learn-skills.dev. Create, export, and manage Canva designs via the Connect API. Generate social posts, carousels, and graphics programmatically.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files (for example `stats.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Social media posts. It works with Canva and Instagram. The repository describes itself as: Curated high-quality AI Agent Skills. Search, install, copy and share. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other AI coding tools.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Social media posts

Example prompts

  • “/canva”

Requirements

  • A credential in CANVA_CLIENT_SECRET
  • A credential in ACCESS_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create a Canva Integration
  2. Set Environment Variables
  3. Authenticate (first time)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08f9d22. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.canva.com

    Also links to:

    • canva.dev
    • canva.com
    • github.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ACCESS_TOKEN
    • CANVA_CLIENT_SECRET

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

Context cost

Canva loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 311 words (~1,148 tokens).
