What it does

Duotone Design is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Web and App implementation guide for Duotone Design. Trigger when user wants two-color schemes, striking imagery, and Spotify-like playlist aesthetics.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Spotify and React Native. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants two-color schemes
  • Striking imagery
  • Spotify-like playlist aesthetics

Example prompts

  • “/duotone-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Two Colors Only: The entire design is mapped to a dark color (replacing blacks/shadows) and a light color (replacing whites/highlights).
  2. Treated Imagery: All photos MUST be processed into the duotone palette.
  3. Bold, Flat Typography: Text is usually massive, solid, and uses one of the two colors.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are css, swift, dart, javascript and kotlin).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

Context cost

Duotone Design loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 357 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

Duotone Design

"Striking contrast. Photography and UI stripped down to exactly two clashing or complementary colors."

When to Use

Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the design-it skill and is not meant to be triggered directly.

Core Principles

  1. Two Colors Only: The entire design is mapped to a dark color (replacing blacks/shadows) and a light color (replacing whites/highlights).
  2. Treated Imagery: All photos MUST be processed into the duotone palette.
  3. Bold, Flat Typography: Text is usually massive, solid, and uses one of the two colors.

Visual DNA

  • Colors: Very high contrast pairs. Navy and Peach, Deep Purple and Neon Green, Crimson and Cream. Look at Industrial Chic for inspiration.
  • Typography: Heavy, condensed sans-serifs (e.g., League Gothic, Oswald).
  • Imagery: High-contrast, gritty photography works best when mapped to duotone.

Web Implementation

  • Modern CSS can achieve image duotone effects without Photoshop, using mix-blend-mode and filters.
  • CSS Example:
css
:root {
  --duo-dark: #1E0045; /* Deep Purple */
  --duo-light: #CCFF00; /* Neon Lime */
}

body {
  background-color: var(--duo-dark);
  color: var(--duo-light);
}

/* CSS Duotone Image Effect */
.duotone-container {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 400px;
  background-color: var(--duo-light); /* Base color */
}

.duotone-container img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
  /* Convert image to grayscale, increase contrast */
  filter: grayscale(100%) contrast(1.5); 
  /* Multiply the grayscale image against the light background */
  mix-blend-mode: multiply;
}

.duotone-container::after {
  /* Overlay the dark color using screen/lighten */
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0;
  background-color: var(--duo-dark);
  mix-blend-mode: screen;
}

.duotone-btn {
  background: var(--duo-light);
  color: var(--duo-dark);
  border: none;
  font-weight: 900;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  padding: 16px 32px;
}

App Implementation

SwiftUI
swift
struct DuotoneImage: View {
    let duoDark = Color(red: 0.12, green: 0.0, blue: 0.27)  // #1E0045
    let duoLight = Color(red: 0.8, green: 1.0, blue: 0.0)   // #CCFF00
    
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            // Background base color
            duoLight.ignoresSafeArea()
            
            // Image processing
            Image("sample_photo")
                .resizable()
                .scaledToFill()
                .grayscale(1.0)
                .contrast(1.5)
                .colorMultiply(duoLight) // Multiplies the light color into the grays
            
            // Dark color overlay
            duoDark
                .blendMode(.screen) // Equivalent to CSS screen blend mode
                .allowsHitTesting(false)
        }
        .frame(height: 400)
        .clipped()
    }
}
  • Real-time image processing is easy in SwiftUI.
  • Convert to .grayscale(), boost .contrast(), then use .colorMultiply() and .blendMode(.screen) layers to map the two colors exactly like CSS mix-blend-mode.
Flutter
dart
class DuotoneImage extends StatelessWidget {
  final Color duoDark = const Color(0xFF1E0045);
  final Color duoLight = const Color(0xFFCCFF00);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      height: 400,
      width: double.infinity,
      color: duoLight,
      child: Stack(
        fit: StackFit.expand,
        children: [
          // 1. Grayscale & Contrast (using ColorFilter matrix)
          // 2. Light Color Multiply
          ColorFiltered(
            colorFilter: ColorFilter.mode(duoLight, BlendMode.multiply),
            child: ColorFiltered(
              // Simple grayscale matrix
              colorFilter: const ColorFilter.matrix([
                0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722, 0, 0,
                0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722, 0, 0,
                0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722, 0, 0,
                0,      0,      0,      1, 0,
              ]),
              child: Image.asset('assets/sample_photo.jpg', fit: BoxFit.cover),
            ),
          ),
          // 3. Dark Color Screen Overlay
          ColorFiltered(
            colorFilter: ColorFilter.mode(duoDark, BlendMode.screen),
            child: Container(color: Colors.transparent), // Applies filter to stack below
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
  • Flutter requires stacking ColorFiltered widgets.
  • Use a ColorFilter.matrix to convert the image to grayscale first.
  • Apply BlendMode.multiply with the light color, then overlay the dark color using BlendMode.screen.

React Native
jsx
// Real-time CSS-like blend modes do NOT exist natively in React Native.
// You must use react-native-skia or pre-process images.

import { Canvas, Image, useImage, ColorMatrix } from "@shopify/react-native-skia";

const DuotoneImage = () => {
  const image = useImage(require('./sample_photo.jpg'));
  
  if (!image) return null;

  // Skia allows custom SVG/CSS style color matrices.
  // Building a true duotone matrix requires math mapping black to duoDark
  // and white to duoLight.
  
  return (
    <View style={{ height: 400, backgroundColor: '#CCFF00' }}>
      <Canvas style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        <Image image={image} x={0} y={0} width={400} height={400} fit="cover">
          {/* Note: In production, you would construct a specific 
              ColorMatrix to map the luminance to the two hex colors. */}
          <ColorMatrix
            matrix={[
              -1, 0, 0, 0, 255,
              0, -1, 0, 0, 255,
              0, 0, -1, 0, 255,
              0, 0, 0, 1, 0,
            ]}
          />
        </Image>
      </Canvas>
    </View>
  );
};
  • Critical Limitation: Standard React Native <Image> cannot do duotone blending.
  • Solution 1: Use @shopify/react-native-skia to apply low-level color matrices and blend modes.
  • Solution 2: Pre-process all imagery in Photoshop/Figma before importing into the app. This is the safest and most performant route.
Jetpack Compose
kotlin
@Composable
fun DuotoneImage() {
    val duoDark = Color(0xFF1E0045)
    val duoLight = Color(0xFFCCFF00)

    // A ColorMatrix to map luminance to the two colors is required for true duotone.
    // For simplicity, we use BlendModes here to approximate the CSS multiply/screen effect.
    Box(modifier = Modifier
        .fillMaxWidth()
        .height(400.dp)
        .background(duoLight)
    ) {
        Image(
            painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.sample_photo),
            contentDescription = null,
            contentScale = ContentScale.Crop,
            modifier = Modifier.matchParentSize(),
            colorFilter = ColorFilter.colorMatrix(ColorMatrix().apply { 
                setToSaturation(0f) // Grayscale
            })
        )
        
        // Multiply light color
        Spacer(modifier = Modifier
            .matchParentSize()
            .background(duoLight)
            .graphicsLayer { blendMode = BlendMode.Multiply }
        )
        
        // Screen dark color
        Spacer(modifier = Modifier
            .matchParentSize()
            .background(duoDark)
            .graphicsLayer { blendMode = BlendMode.Screen }
        )
    }
}
  • Use ColorFilter.colorMatrix with setToSaturation(0f) to make the image grayscale.
  • Use Spacer overlays with Modifier.graphicsLayer { blendMode = BlendMode... } to apply the dual color mapping.
  • Similar to Flutter, layer Multiply (light) and Screen (dark) to achieve the effect.

Do's and Don'ts

  • DO: Ensure the dark color is dark enough to be legible when used as text against the light color.
  • DON'T: Add a third color. It instantly ruins the aesthetic.

Limitations

  • This is a styling reference and does not replace environment-specific validation, accessibility testing, or expert review.
  • Ensure appropriate contrast ratios and responsive behaviors are verified separately.
