Overview

This skill generates platform-optimized social media graphics and post layouts to maximize engagement across Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, and Pinterest. It combines platform specifications, visual design rules, and message integration so graphics look native and perform well. Use it to produce ready-to-publish assets with correct sizes, composition, and CTAs.

How this skill works

The skill inspects target platform requirements (dimensions, orientation, and common trends) and applies a three-layer methodology: platform optimization, visual design, and message integration. It builds prompts and design specs—color palette, typography, composition, and text overlay rules—so image-generation tools and designers can produce polished assets. It includes prompt templates and checklist steps for final testing and publishing.

When to use it

• Creating campaign assets tailored to a specific platform (feed, story, pin, or thumbnail).
• Repurposing a single message across multiple platforms with native layouts.
• Designing promotional posts with clear CTAs for product launches or events.
• Preparing vertical video thumbnails and social-ready images for TikTok or Reels.
• Generating inspiration pins and lifestyle visuals for discovery-driven platforms.

Best practices

• Match exact platform dimensions and orientation to avoid cropping or quality loss.
• Use a consistent color palette and typography to maintain brand recognition.
• Prioritize high contrast and large, readable headlines (5–10 words max).
• Keep composition simple: clear focal point, rule of thirds, and adequate negative space.
• Test variations and measure engagement; adapt to trending aesthetics per platform.
