create-visual-card

Creates one decorative, single-frame visual card from supplied content as self-contained HTML and a shareable PNG. Use for information, quote, knowledge, social, summary, or cover cards, including “把要点做成一张图” and “做张卡片”. Use hai-visual-report for multi-section or scroll-length reports; use an available frontend or document-design skill for interactive pages or print artifacts.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by hylarucoder on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Create Visual Card AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hylarucoder/hai-stack.git /tmp/hai-stack
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/hai-stack/skills/create-visual-card .claude/skills/create-visual-card

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Create Visual Card in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Create Visual Card on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Create Visual Card is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Create Visual Card

Generate magazine-quality visual information cards as self-contained HTML files, then render them to a shareable PNG.

Output

A single .html file with embedded CSS, rendered to a .png. Start from assets/card-template.html; its --card-width value is the canonical width and the screenshot script reads the rendered element width automatically.

For the final handoff format, read references/output-template.md after generating and checking the card, and fill every field it lists.

Design System

The font link, color variables, width, and noise texture live in assets/card-template.html. The guidance below covers only choices that vary by content.

Type Scale

Role	Size	Weight	Notes
Super title	72-84px	900	Core visual hook, lh: 1.0, ls: -0.04em
Section	56px	700	lh: 1.1
Sub section	32px	700	lh: 1.2
Body	18-20px	400	lh: 1.6, color: #1a1a1a
Caption	15-16px	400	lh: 1.5, color: #555
Tag/meta	13px	700	ls: 0.15em, uppercase

Spacing

Container padding: 40-50px
Paragraph gap: ≤ 1.5em
Component gap: 30-40px

Visual Decorations

Noise texture: SVG data-URI at 4% opacity (in skeleton)
Heavy divider: 4-6px solid bar in accent color, width ~100px
Background blocks: rgba(0,0,0,0.03)
Base background: #f5f3ed (warm paper)

Layout Strategy

Pick layout by content density — this drives the whole composition:

Low density (few key points): "Big character" — blow up titles to 80px+, core data to 120px+. Let typography be the design.

Medium density: Balanced sections with accent bars and background blocks.

High density (lots of data): Multi-column newspaper grid, 2-3 columns, vertical dividers.

Workflow

Analyze content density (high/medium/low) in one sentence.
Choose layout strategy based on density (see Layout Strategy above).
Copy assets/card-template.html to the requested workspace location and fill in the content.
Screenshot the .card element using the bundled script (path is relative to this skill's directory):
```
bash
node scripts/screenshot.mjs <file>.html .card
```
It uses Playwright to open the file directly, reads the rendered card width, renders at 2x DPR, writes <file>.png next to the HTML, and prints that path. If Chromium is missing, run npx playwright install chromium first.
Present the PNG to the user inline and provide the absolute HTML and PNG paths.
Self-check against the four QA items in references/output-template.md (screenshot generated, body text ≥ 18px, mobile readability, visual hierarchy) — it is the single source of truth for the handoff.

Design Philosophy

Swiss internationalism structure + modern magazine visual impact. Rigorous grid, bold typography, warm paper texture. Every element earns its space.

Use a different skill when

The user wants a multi-section / scroll-length report (idea, PRD, plan, review turned into a presentation-like web page) → use hai-visual-report, not a single card.
The user wants an interactive page, app, or reusable UI component → use an available frontend-building skill.
The user wants a print poster or document artifact → use an available document or image-design skill.

Keep create-visual-card scoped to one decorative, single-frame card image.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Create Visual Card AI skill do?

Why use Create Visual Card on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Create Visual Card is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Create Visual Card in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/hylarucoder/hai-stack/tree/main/skills/create-visual-card. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Create Visual Card?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Create Visual Card?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Create Visual Card with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Create Visual Card AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by hylarucoder. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
