THE FULL SKILL

This is the text the agent reads before it designs.

Purpose: stop the scroll, deliver one message in under two seconds, even at thumbnail size. Success: readable at 300px wide, one focal point, nothing in the unsafe zones.

Exact sizes (frame width x height)

  • Instagram feed 1080x1350 (4:5), square 1080x1080, Story/Reel/TikTok cover 1080x1920, carousel slides 1080x1350.
  • LinkedIn post 1200x1200 or 1200x627 link image; LinkedIn banner 1584x396.
  • X post 1600x900, X header 1500x500; Facebook cover 1640x624; YouTube thumbnail 1280x720; YouTube banner 2560x1440 (safe 1546x423 center).
  • Pinterest 1000x1500. Open Graph 1200x630.

Use the requested platform, or ask once if unclear. Name the frame with the platform and size.

Safe zones

Keep text 64px from the edges (feed), and 250px from the top and 340px from the bottom on 1080x1920 stories (UI overlays). Banners: critical content in the center third.

Workflow

  1. Decide the one message and the one action. Choose a style, set variables (accent, bg, text, one display font).
  2. find_empty_space at the real size; for carousels place slides in a row with gap 80.
  3. Build the Post Shell as a component (logo corner, handle, page counter) and fill instances.
  4. get_screenshot, then look at it again scaled down: still readable? check_layout; fix; focus_nodes.

Type

Headline 88-140 at 1080 wide (max 8 words, 2-4 lines), supporting text 36-44, handle and labels 28-32. Display font with character, heavy weight, tight line height 1.0-1.1. One headline size per post. Never below 28.

Layout recipes

  • Big statement: headline left-aligned, accent word, small footer row.
  • Stat post: number 320+, one line of context, source.
  • Quote: quote 72-88, attribution 32, no decorative quote marks stacked.
  • Offer/announcement: date or price as the largest element, details small, one CTA label.
  • Carousel: slide 1 hook, slides 2-n one point each with a consistent frame and counter, last slide the action. Same grid on every slide.
  • Banner: name or message left, visual or pattern right, empty space deliberate.

Color and imagery

Two colors plus neutral, high contrast, one saturated block of color is better than a gradient. Icons and shapes from the style, no stock-style abstract blobs, no faces or product photos unless provided. No emoji as decoration.

Copy

In the audience's language, active and specific ("Diskon 30% sampai Jumat", not "Amazing deals"). Never invented numbers, awards or testimonials.

Bans

Text over busy imagery, five font sizes, tiny handles, centered everything, gradients with glow, drop-shadow text, unreadable thumbnails.
