What it does

Design And Templates is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The reusable on-brand template-SYSTEM skill -- build a brand kit + a small set of reusable templates so a non-designer can produce consistent on-brand graphics fast across formats. Use when someone wants templates, a brand kit, a consistent visual system, or help choosing/using a design tool (Canva/Adobe Express/Figma). For social, consistency + speed beat bespoke. Uses the BRAND framework. Reads brand-profile first. The agent designs the SYSTEM (brand-kit tokens, template set, hierarchy rules, workflow); a…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/building-the-system.md` and `references/design-tools-2026-reality.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Brand strategy and identity. It works with Canva, Figma and Pinterest. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone wants templates
  • A consistent visual system
  • Help choosing/using a design tool (Canva/Adobe Express/Figma)

Example prompts

  • “/design-and-templates”

Workflow steps

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

  1. brand-profile — the identity source this operationalizes.
  2. the recurring content needs — what you actually post.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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.

    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

Design And Templates loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 244 tokens; SKILL.md has 682 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~244
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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.

design-and-templates

The reusable on-brand template-system skill — a brand kit + a small set of reusable templates + the rules + the workflow that let a non-designer ship consistent on-brand graphics fast. The agent designs the system; a design tool or the image tools produce the graphics; the finished asset enters the WoopSocial flow.

The POV: consistency + speed beat bespoke

For social, the win isn't one beautiful design — it's six versions that still look like the same campaign, produced fast by a non-designer. The lever is a small reusable template system anchored in a brand kit, which prevents both brand drift and generic "template energy." Brand-kit-first makes the first draft ~80% on-brand instead of ~20%. The honest ceiling: tools get you ~70–80% on-brand — a human eye finishes the hero work. The agent designs the system; a design tool (Canva/Adobe Express/ Figma) or the image tools produce the graphics; WoopSocial publishes the finished asset.

Read these first

  1. brand-profile — the identity source this operationalizes.
  2. the recurring content needs — what you actually post.

The framework: BRAND

(Depth: references/the-brand-framework.md.)

  • B — Build the brand kit: lock the tokens (colors, fonts, logo, spacing) — the consistency anchor (brand-kit-first = ~80% on-brand drafts).
  • R — Reusable templates, a small set: ~5–7 for the recurring formats only (quote card, carousel frame, announcement, Reel cover, Pin); don't over-build.
  • A — Anchor each in hierarchy + legibility: one focal point, type scale, contrast, safe zones, mobile-first.
  • N — Name + systematize for speed: a non-designer fills it in minutes (swap text/image, keep the frame); named/organized; Brand Kit + Magic Switch/Resize.
  • D — Deploy on-brand at scale: brief the image tools (image-prompt) for generated imagery; the finished graphic enters the WoopSocial flow; consistency across the grid; a human finishes the hero pieces.

The reality (verify-quarterly)

Design fundamentals (hierarchy/contrast/legibility) are timeless; the tools move. Canva (Magic Studio) = social-first default (Brand Kit, Magic Design, Magic Switch/Resize, Dream Lab, Bulk Create; Pro ~$15/mo; ~70% "Canva-style" ceiling + AI credit limits; raw AI generally not copyrightable; Canva Shield indemnification Enterprise-only). Adobe Express+Firefly = premium, brand-safe licensed AI + IP indemnification. Figma = master design systems/governance (not daily social). Combine by strength zone; brief the image tools (image-prompt) or Dream Lab/Firefly for generated imagery: references/design-tools- 2026-reality.md. The brand-kit spec, the starter template set + specs, the hierarchy/legibility rules, the production workflow + worked examples: references/building-the-system.md.

Honest scope (never violate)

  • The agent designs the system (brand-kit tokens, the template set, hierarchy rules, the workflow) — it specs/advises, it doesn't render.
  • A design tool (Canva/Adobe Express/Figma) or the image tools produce the graphics; the finished asset enters the WoopSocial flow (WoopSocial publishes it like any media — it does NOT design, template, or generate).
  • Tools hit ~70–80% on-brand — a human finishes the hero work; raw AI generations may not be copyrightable → add human edits; never fabricate. (Scope, distinctions + connections: references/scope-and-connections.md.)

Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)

design-and-templates (this) = the reusable template SYSTEM + brand kit · brand-profile = the identity source it operationalizes · thumbnail-design / pinterest-pin-design = single asset types (templates in the system) · carousel-writer = the copy/narrative (this is the visual frame) · image-prompt + the image tools = generation (this is layout/templates) · profile-optimization = the profile assets.

Where this connects

Reads first: brand-profile + the recurring content needs. Feeds the format siblings: thumbnail- design, pinterest-pin-design, instagram-reels-publishing (cover), carousel-writer (the frame its copy fills), story-writer — each a template in the system. Briefs for imagery: image-prompt → ideogram/flux/nano-banana (or Dream Lab/Firefly). Publishes via: the finished asset → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (post/Pin/cover/carousel media). Design + generation stay in the design tool / image tools; WoopSocial only publishes.

Definition of done

A reusable system: a brand kit (locked colors/fonts/logo/spacing) plus a small set (~5–7) of named templates mapped to the real recurring formats, each with one focal point, a clear type scale, contrast, safe zones, and mobile-first legibility; a non-designer production workflow (swap text/image → resize → export → into the WoopSocial flow) using the right tool for the team (Canva default / Adobe Express+Firefly for premium, indemnified imagery / Figma for the master system), with generated imagery briefed to the image tools via image-prompt; the honest ceiling stated (tools hit ~70–80% on-brand, a human finishes the hero work, raw AI generations may not be copyrightable); the finished assets published via WoopSocial; nothing fabricated; correctly distinguished from brand-profile, thumbnail-design/pinterest-pin-design, carousel-writer, and image-prompt.
