# Canvas Poster

Create original static art. Philosophy first, then one canvas. 90 percent visual, 10 percent text.

Inspired by anthropics/skills canvas-design (Apache-2.0). This package is an original Grok remake. No vendor font folder. No copied manifesto examples.

Read `references/craft.md` before the first canvas. Read `references/second-pass.md` before you call it done.

## When to use
- Poster, print, album cover, event flyer as art
- "make a visual philosophy and a canvas"
- User wants PNG or single-page PDF art

## When NOT to use
- Slides, long reports, or word-heavy one-pagers (use a doc skill)
- Copy a living artist, brand, or copyrighted key art
- Seeded p5 loops (use seeded-art)

## Inputs
- Subject, mood, or event (can be subtle)
- Size and format (default 2400x3000 PNG)
- Optional locked colors or words that must appear

## Procedure
1. Name a 1-2 word movement. Write a 4-6 paragraph philosophy covering space, color, scale, rhythm, hierarchy. Text is a visual accent, not an essay.
2. Deduce a quiet conceptual thread from the request. Weave it into form. Do not label it on the canvas.
3. Build ONE canvas (PNG or single-page PDF) from that philosophy. Limited palette. Nothing overlaps. Margins hold. Type is sparse and designed, not dumped.
4. Follow `references/craft.md`. Look up real typefaces if you name them.
5. Do a second pass from `references/second-pass.md`. Refine what is there. Do not add more objects.
6. Deliver philosophy.md plus the image/PDF.

## Output format
- philosophy.md (movement name + 4-6 paragraphs)
- one PNG or PDF
- two lines: format/size, and what you refined in pass two

## Safety
- Original work only. No living-artist clones. No real-person deepfakes.
- No tracking pixels. No secrets on the canvas.
- Not medical, legal, or exploit advice.

## Stop conditions
- Philosophy + canvas + second pass delivered, or refused for copyright
