What it does

Pinterest Pin Design is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The Pinterest pin design skill -- the visual half that pairs with pinterest-seo's keyword layer. Use when someone wants to design a pin, a Pinterest pin image, a pin text overlay, fresh pin variations for an existing URL, or board covers. Designs and briefs the 2:3 (1000x1500) vertical pin: one focal point, a keyword text overlay readable at feed size, brand-consistent template, safe zones, and 3-5 visually distinct FRESH designs per destination URL. Uses the SAVED framework. Reads brand-profile + the destination…

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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/design-and-variant-recipes.md` and `references/pin-design-2026-reality.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation. It works with Pinterest, Canva and Google Gemini. 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 to design a pin
  • A Pinterest pin image
  • A pin text overlay
  • Fresh pin variations for an existing URL

Example prompts

  • “/pinterest-pin-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. brand-profile — palette/fonts/style (pins are a brand surface that must stay recognizable).
  2. the destination — the page the pin links to (the visual must promise what the page delivers).
  3. the keyword — from pinterest-seo (it goes in the overlay and the title).

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

Pinterest Pin Design loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 255 tokens; SKILL.md has 880 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~255
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.7k

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.

The Pinterest pin design skill -- the visual half that pairs with pinterest-seo's keyword layer. Use when someone wants to design a pin, a Pinterest pin image, a pin text overlay, fresh pin variations for an existing URL, or board covers. Designs and briefs the 2:3 (1000x1500) vertical pin: one focal point, a keyword text overlay readable at feed size, brand-consistent template, safe zones, and 3-5 visually distinct FRESH designs per destination URL. Uses the SAVED framework. Reads brand-profile + the destination + the pinterest-seo keyword first. A HUMAN or an image/design tool (ideogram/canva/nano-banana/a designer) creates the final raster; WoopSocial publishes the finished pin image + title + description + board + link. No misleading pins, no repin-as-fresh dupes, engagement never fabricated. Distinct from pinterest-seo (the keyword layer -- they PAIR), pinterest-growth (the strategy), design-and-templates (the template system), and ideogram/canva (render the raster this briefs).
version
1.0.0

pinterest-pin-design

A design-craft skill — design the pin's concept + composition + overlay, produce the brief, and plan the fresh-pin variants. The agent designs + briefs + critiques; a human or image tool makes the raster; WoopSocial publishes the finished pin (image + title + description + board + link).

The POV: a search result, not a post — designed to be found, saved, and clicked

A pin is a search result in a two-column mobile feed, competing at roughly half a phone screen wide (~236px in the desktop grid). Its job is the save and the outbound click, and it keeps doing that job for months (~4-month lifespan) — so a pin is an asset, not a post. Two rules anchor everything: the visual and the keyword are one unit (this skill owns the visual; pinterest-seo owns the keyword — the keyword goes in the overlay AND the title), and fresh beats frequent reposting — a "fresh pin" is a new image/layout/overlay for the same URL, not a repin, and fresh designs drive ~90% of Pinterest website traffic. Design mobile-first at feed size, always in 2:3 (1000×1500) — other ratios are penalized.

Read these first

  1. brand-profile — palette/fonts/style (pins are a brand surface that must stay recognizable).
  2. the destination — the page the pin links to (the visual must promise what the page delivers).
  3. the keyword — from pinterest-seo (it goes in the overlay and the title).

The framework: SAVED

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

  • S — Stop the scroll on a 2:3 canvas: 1000×1500, 2:3 mandatory (other ratios penalized/cropped); one focal point; vertical composition; lifestyle/in-context imagery beats sterile product-on-white; parseable at feed size.
  • A — Anchor the keyword overlay: the pinterest-seo keyword rendered large on the image (Pinterest OCR-reads it); ≤~6 words, bold, high contrast, readable at ~236px; top-third or center; not a caption duplicate.
  • V — Visual brand system: a pin template family (from design-and-templates) — consistent fonts/ palette/layout; subtle logo/URL, never bottom-right (Pinterest's own icons overlay that corner).
  • E — Every URL gets fresh variants: 3–5 visually distinct designs per destination (different image
    • layout + overlay angle — not a color swap); each is a new chance to rank.
  • D — Decide the format + hand off: static pin = the traffic workhorse (has the link); video pin (9:16, 6–15s) = engagement; multi-slide/idea-style = awareness (historically no outbound link); board covers set the shelf aesthetic; brief → image tool → WoopSocial publishes.

The reality (verify-quarterly)

Feed-size mobile-first (two-column feed, ~236px, ~85% mobile); 2:3 1000×1500 mandatory (other ratios penalized, tall pins truncated); overlay text OCR-read (keyword on the image); lifestyle/in-context imagery; faces optional (product/idea is usually the hero — unlike YouTube thumbnails); safe zones (margins, logo not bottom-right, nothing critical in the bottom of extra-tall pins); fresh-pin economics (~90% of traffic, 3–5 distinct designs/URL, few-day test window); video 9:16 6–15s; idea pins folding into the unified format; brand consistency without clone-stamping: references/pin-design-2026-reality.md. The pin brief template, design checklist, spec block, fresh-variant plan + worked examples: references/design-and-variant-recipes.md.

Honest scope (never violate)

  • The agent designs the concept/composition/overlay text, writes the brief, plans the fresh variants, and can critique a mockup — but a HUMAN or an image/design tool (ideogram for in-image text / canva / nano-banana / a designer) creates the final raster.
  • WoopSocial publishes the finished pin — image + title + description + board (pinterestBoardId) + link — it does NOT design, render, or generate the visual, and analytics are native Pinterest Analytics, not WoopSocial.
  • No misleading pins — the visual must promise what the page delivers (Pin → Board → Page must match; long clicks rank you, bounces punish you). No repin-as-fresh dupes (a color swap is not a fresh pin). Disclose AI imagery (Pinterest lets users filter GenAI). Never fabricate saves/clicks/ impressions.

Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)

pinterest-pin-design (this) = the pin's VISUAL craft + brief + fresh-variant plan · pinterest-seo = the keyword/search-RANKING layer (they PAIR — the keyword goes in the overlay AND the title) · pinterest-growth = the account strategy/cadence (boards, 72h same-URL spacing, seasonal timing) · design-and-templates = the brand template SYSTEM (the pin template is one asset in it) · ideogram/ canva/nano-banana = render the raster this briefs · thumbnail-design = the same craft for YouTube's 16:9 click decision (different job: click-to-watch vs save-and-click-out).

Where this connects

Reads first: brand-profile + the destination + the keyword from pinterest-seo. Pairs with: pinterest-seo (keyword in the overlay + title), image-prompt → ideogram (in-image overlay text)/ nano-banana/flux (backgrounds), canva (template production), ai-image-editing (crops/cleanup), design-and-templates (the pin template in the brand system). Routes to/from: pinterest-growth (strategy/cadence), content-recycling (which URLs deserve fresh variants), seasonal-and-moment-marketing (45–90-day seasonal lead). Publishes via: scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (image + title + description

  • board + link) + platform-specs-and-validation. Measures with: native Pinterest Analytics + analytics-and-reporting (saves, outbound clicks, impressions). The raster stays with the image tools/ designer; the words stay with pinterest-seo.

Definition of done

A 2:3 (1000×1500) vertical concept with one focal point in lifestyle/in-context imagery, parseable at feed size; the pinterest-seo keyword rendered as a bold, high-contrast overlay (≤~6 words, OCR-readable, no caption duplicate); brand-consistent template (fonts/palette/layout) with the logo out of the bottom-right; safe margins and nothing critical lost to tall-pin truncation; 3–5 visually distinct fresh designs planned per destination URL (new image + layout + overlay angle, never a repin/color swap); the right format chosen (static for traffic, video 9:16 6–15s for engagement, multi-slide for awareness) and board covers consistent; the raster briefed to an image tool/designer and the finished pin published via WoopSocial (image + title + description + board + link); the visual honest to the destination; AI imagery disclosed; no fabricated engagement; correctly paired with pinterest-seo and distinguished from pinterest-growth, design-and-templates, and the image tools.
