What it does

Editorial Design is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Web and App implementation guide for Editorial Design. Trigger when user wants a magazine-inspired layout, large headlines, and elegant typography pairing.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k 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 Typography. 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 a magazine-inspired layout
  • Large headlines
  • Elegant typography pairing

Example prompts

  • “/editorial-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Serif & Sans-Serif Pairing: The hallmark of editorial design. A beautiful, high-contrast serif for headings, paired with a clean…
  2. Large Drop Caps & Pull Quotes: Typographic flourishes that guide the eye and break up long blocks of text.
  3. Columnar Layouts: Content flows in distinct columns, often with fine lines (rules) separating them.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. 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

Editorial Design loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

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.

Editorial Design

"The digital magazine. Sophisticated typography pairings and deliberate, elegant pacing."

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. Serif & Sans-Serif Pairing: The hallmark of editorial design. A beautiful, high-contrast serif for headings, paired with a clean sans-serif for body copy.
  2. Large Drop Caps & Pull Quotes: Typographic flourishes that guide the eye and break up long blocks of text.
  3. Columnar Layouts: Content flows in distinct columns, often with fine lines (rules) separating them.

Visual DNA

  • Colors: Modern Editorial or Yacht Club. Warm, paper-like backgrounds with deep, ink-like blacks or navy blues.
  • Typography:
    • Headlines: Playfair Display, Merriweather, Bodoni.
    • Body: Lato, Open Sans, Source Sans Pro.
  • Borders: Thin, elegant horizontal lines (hairlines) used to separate sections.

Web Implementation

  • CSS Example:
css
body {
  background-color: #F9F9F9; /* Paper white */
  color: #121212; /* Ink black */
}

/* Typography Pairing */
.editorial-headline {
  font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif;
  font-size: 4rem;
  font-weight: 700;
  font-style: italic;
  margin-bottom: 24px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #121212;
  padding-bottom: 24px;
}

.editorial-body {
  font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.1rem;
  line-height: 1.8;
  column-count: 2; /* Magazine columns */
  column-gap: 40px;
}

/* Drop Cap */
.editorial-body::first-letter {
  font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif;
  font-size: 4rem;
  float: left;
  line-height: 0.8;
  padding-right: 12px;
  color: var(--cta-highlight);
}

.pull-quote {
  font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif;
  font-size: 2rem;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 48px 0;
  padding: 24px 0;
  border-top: 2px solid #121212;
  border-bottom: 2px solid #121212;
}

App Implementation

SwiftUI
swift
struct EditorialView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ScrollView {
            VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 24) {
                // Editorial Headline
                Text("The Digital\nMagazine")
                    .font(.custom("Playfair Display", size: 48))
                    .fontWeight(.bold)
                    .italic()
                    .foregroundColor(Color(white: 0.05))
                    .padding(.bottom, 16)
                
                Divider().background(Color.black)
                
                // Drop Cap and Body
                HStack(alignment: .top, spacing: 8) {
                    Text("I")
                        .font(.custom("Playfair Display", size: 64))
                        .foregroundColor(Color(red: 0.7, green: 0.2, blue: 0.2))
                        // Negative padding to pull the body text tighter to the drop cap
                        .padding(.top, -10) 
                    
                    Text("n an era of sterile, flat interfaces, the return to elegant typography feels like a breath of fresh air. The interplay of serif and sans-serif...")
                        .font(.custom("Lato", size: 16))
                        .lineSpacing(6)
                        .foregroundColor(Color(white: 0.1))
                }
                
                // Pull Quote
                VStack {
                    Divider().background(Color.black)
                    Text("“Sophistication is in the spacing.”")
                        .font(.custom("Playfair Display", size: 28))
                        .italic()
                        .multilineTextAlignment(.center)
                        .padding(.vertical, 24)
                    Divider().background(Color.black)
                }
                .padding(.vertical, 24)
            }
            .padding(24)
        }
        .background(Color(red: 0.98, green: 0.98, blue: 0.96)) // Warm paper white
    }
}
  • Extensive use of .font(.custom()) is mandatory. System fonts look too app-like.
  • Use Divider() to create the hairlines that are so common in print design.
  • A fake "drop cap" can be achieved with an HStack aligning top.
Flutter
dart
class EditorialScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  @override

          children: [
            const SizedBox(height: 40),
            const Text(

              style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'PlayfairDisplay', fontSize: 48, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontStyle: FontStyle.italic, height: 1.1),
            ),
            const SizedBox(height: 24),
            const Divider(color: Colors.black, thickness: 1),
            const SizedBox(height: 24),
            // Body with Drop Cap simulation using RichText is complex, 
            // a simpler Row approach works well enough for mobile.
            Row(
              crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
              children: [
                const Text(
                  'I',
                  style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'PlayfairDisplay', fontSize: 72, height: 1.0, color: Color(0xFF8B0000)),
                ),
                const SizedBox(width: 8),
                Expanded(
                  child: const Text(
                    'n an era of sterile, flat interfaces, the return to elegant typography feels like a breath of fresh air. The interplay of serif and sans-serif brings humanity back to the screen.',
                    style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Lato', fontSize: 16, height: 1.6, color: Colors.black87),
                  ),
                ),
              ],
            ),
            const SizedBox(height: 48),
            // Pull Quote
            const Divider(color: Colors.black, thickness: 2),
            const Padding(
              padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 32.0),
              child: Center(
                child: Text(
                  '“Sophistication is in the spacing.”',
                  textAlign: TextAlign.center,
                  style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'PlayfairDisplay', fontSize: 28, fontStyle: FontStyle.italic),
                ),
              ),
            ),
            const Divider(color: Colors.black, thickness: 2),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
  • Set height parameters in TextStyle (line-height). 1.6 is a good editorial body height.
  • Use Divider with thickness: 2 for the heavy rules around pull quotes.
React Native

const EditorialScreen = () => {
  return (

        </Text>
      </View>
      
      {/* Pull Quote */}
      <View style={{ 
        borderTopWidth: 2, borderBottomWidth: 2, borderColor: '#121212', 
        marginTop: 48, paddingVertical: 32

        <Text style={{

          “Sophistication is in the spacing.”
        </Text>
      </View>
    </ScrollView>
  );
};
  • Line heights and fonts are everything. You must have custom fonts linked in your React Native project for this style to work.
  • Use borderTopWidth and borderBottomWidth on a container View to create the pull quote styling.

        Spacer(Modifier.height(48.dp))
        
        // Pull Quote
        Divider(color = Color(0xFF121212), thickness = 2.dp)
        Text(
            text = "“Sophistication is in the spacing.”",
            fontFamily = playfair,
            fontSize = 28.sp,
            fontStyle = FontStyle.Italic,
            textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().padding(vertical = 32.dp)
        )
        Divider(color = Color(0xFF121212), thickness = 2.dp)
    }
}
  • Compose handles custom fonts and line heights (26.sp) very elegantly.
  • Use Divider() for the hairlines. Adjust thickness as needed for headers vs pull quotes.

Do's and Don'ts

  • DO: Treat the interface like a printed page. Margins should be generous.
  • DON'T: Clutter the UI with typical app components like floating action buttons or heavy navigation bars. Keep it clean.

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.
