Canvas Authoring

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:generator
Meta-knowledge for authoring canvases — the template + instructions pairs that govern artifacts produced by SDLC agents (specs, plans, reports, …). Covers the canvas concept, the canonical knob taxonomy, conversation modes (new / tune / reverse / validate / explain), the response scaffold, and the anti-pattern catalog. Use when authoring a new canvas, tuning an existing one, reverse-modeling a canvas from an example artifact, validating a canvas, or teaching the canvas system to a new contributor.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill is meta-knowledge: how to think about canvases, what knobs exist, what conversation patterns work, what to avoid. The actual authoring conversation is run by the [canvas-author](../../agents/canvas-author.md) agent, invoked via [/canvas](../../commands/canvas.md). This skill is its preloaded knowledge base.
