Canvas Design — Anthropic — AI skill

When to use it

Best for posters, brand visuals and other standalone graphics. Start with a theme or brief; the workflow produces a written visual direction followed by artwork. It is a graphic-design skill, not an interactive UI builder, and does not produce responsive frontend code. Rendering depends on the tools available to the agent.

Pair this skill with a visual reference

A skill guides how your agent works; a design reference shows the direction you want. Choose an example for a specific job, such as the headline hierarchy or form layout, and keep your project's existing design rules explicit.

Start with design references you can inspect, then use our guide to briefing an AI coding agent to turn observations into requirements. If you need implementation components, compare UI libraries for your stack.
