≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Banner Design - Multi-Format Creative Banner System

Design banners across social, ads, web, and print formats. Generates multiple art direction options per request with AI-powered visual elements. This skill handles banner design only. Does NOT handle video editing, full website design, or print production.

When to Activate

User requests banner, cover, or header design
Social media cover/header creation
Ad banner or display ad design
Website hero section visual design
Event/print banner design
Creative asset generation for campaigns

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Requirements (AskUserQuestion)

Collect via AskUserQuestion:

Purpose — social cover, ad banner, website hero, print, or creative asset?
Platform/size — which platform or custom dimensions?
Content — headline, subtext, CTA, logo placement?
Brand — existing brand guidelines? (check docs/brand-guidelines.md)
Style preference — any art direction? (show style options if unsure)
Quantity — how many options to generate? (default: 3)

Step 2: Research & Art Direction

Activate ui-ux-pro-max skill for design intelligence

Use Chrome browser to research Pinterest for design references:

Navigate to pinterest.com → search "[purpose] banner design [style]"
Screenshot 3-5 reference pins for art direction inspiration

Select 2-3 complementary art direction styles from references: references/banner-sizes-and-styles.md

Step 3: Design & Generate Options

For each art direction option:

Create HTML/CSS banner using frontend-design skill
- Use exact platform dimensions from size reference
- Apply safe zone rules (critical content in central 70-80%)
- Max 2 typefaces, single CTA, 4.5:1 contrast ratio
- Inject brand context via inject-brand-context.cjs

Generate visual elements with ai-artist + ai-multimodal skills

a) Search prompt inspiration (6000+ examples in ai-artist):

python3 .claude/skills/ai-artist/scripts/search.py "<banner style keywords>"

b) Generate with Standard model (fast, good for backgrounds/patterns):

.claude/skills/.venv/bin/python3 .claude/skills/ai-multimodal/scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
  --task generate --model gemini-2.5-flash-image \
  --prompt "<banner visual prompt>" --aspect-ratio <platform-ratio> \
  --size 2K --output assets/banners/

c) Generate with Pro model (4K, complex illustrations/hero visuals):

.claude/skills/.venv/bin/python3 .claude/skills/ai-multimodal/scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
  --task generate --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview \
  --prompt "<creative banner prompt>" --aspect-ratio <platform-ratio> \
  --size 4K --output assets/banners/

When to use which model:

Use Case	Model	Quality
Backgrounds, gradients, patterns	Standard (Flash)	2K, fast
Hero illustrations, product shots	Pro	4K, detailed
Photorealistic scenes, complex art	Pro	4K, best quality
Quick iterations, A/B variants	Standard (Flash)	2K, fast

Aspect ratios: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:4, 4:3, 2:3, 3:2 Match to platform - e.g., Twitter header = 3:1 (use 3:2 closest), Instagram story = 9:16

Pro model prompt tips (see ai-artist references/nano-banana-pro-examples.md):

Be descriptive: style, lighting, mood, composition, color palette
Include art direction: "minimalist flat design", "cyberpunk neon", "editorial photography"
Specify no-text: "no text, no letters, no words" (text overlaid in HTML step)

Compose final banner — overlay text, CTA, logo on generated visual in HTML/CSS

Step 4: Export Banners to Images

After designing HTML banners, export each to PNG using chrome-devtools skill:

Serve HTML files via local server (python http.server or similar)

Screenshot each banner at exact platform dimensions:

# Export banner to PNG at exact dimensions
node .claude/skills/chrome-devtools/scripts/screenshot.js \
  --url "http://localhost:8765/banner-01-minimalist.html" \
  --width 1500 --height 500 \
  --output "assets/banners/{campaign}/{variant}-{size}.png"

Auto-compress if >5MB (Sharp compression built-in):

# With custom max size threshold
node .claude/skills/chrome-devtools/scripts/screenshot.js \
  --url "http://localhost:8765/banner-02-gradient.html" \
  --width 1500 --height 500 --max-size 3 \
  --output "assets/banners/{campaign}/{variant}-{size}.png"

Output path convention (per assets-organizing skill):

assets/banners/{campaign}/
├── minimalist-1500x500.png
├── gradient-1500x500.png
├── bold-type-1500x500.png
├── minimalist-1080x1080.png    # if multi-size requested
└── ...

Use kebab-case for filenames: {style}-{width}x{height}.{ext}
Date prefix for time-sensitive campaigns: {YYMMDD}-{style}-{size}.png
Campaign folder groups all variants together

Step 5: Present Options & Iterate

Present all exported images side-by-side. For each option show:

Art direction style name
Exported PNG preview (use ai-multimodal skill to display if needed)
Key design rationale
File path & dimensions

Iterate based on user feedback until approved.
