Copies 1 skill into each app's skills folder (Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills), after checking every file against anthropics/skills at commit 3337550. Nothing else on your computer changes. To undo it, run the terminal command with --uninstall at the end; that also removes what the app added.

Then start a new session in your AI app and ask for the work in plain words; it picks the skill from its description. In Claude Code you can also type /anthropic-canvas-design:canvas-design.

See it in use

One real session, replayed step by step: the request, each step at the moment it happened, and the answer, unedited. Long waits are shown faster, with the real time in the corner. Sample poster brief invented for this example: Fernhill Print Studio is a fictional community printmaking studio.
The result
poster.svgWhat the session produced: poster.svg, the file the session saved, opened in a browser.

A poster file plus a short design note, with any detail in the brief that does not add up flagged for you to confirm.

Try it

After installing, start a new session and say: Make a poster for our event from the details in brief.md. Save it as poster.svg and check the details before you put them on it. Don't ask me anything first.

What else it can do, and its limits
  • Posters, art prints and other single page visual pieces from a short brief, mostly shape and color with little text
  • Writes a design philosophy first, a named visual style, then builds the piece from it
  • Ships 30 open licensed fonts to use on the canvas, and can make a multi page set in one style
  • Makes original work and avoids copying existing artists
  • Its own steps render PNG or PDF by running code, which needs a terminal; without one, as in this run, it drew an SVG file and did not view the result

Sample input Recorded Oct 24, 2026 in Claude Code 2.1.308 with Sonnet 5.5. The video replays that session; nothing in it was acted or edited.
