One-Ink Editorial Print Skill for Claude

A Claude agent skill that turns a theme, phrase, or photo into an original editorial image in one-ink or two-ink print style — halftone, warm paper, restrained typography.

A Claude agent skill by designer Yan Liu that transforms a theme, phrase, photograph, or article idea into an original editorial image in one-ink or two-ink print style. The skill follows a five-step process: read input, choose layout, assign ink plates, compose the page, then generate. Default settings use a two-ink design with 70–85% dominant ink and 15–30% accent on a neutral substrate. Eight single-ink options are available — Cobalt, Botanical Green, Terracotta Orange, and others — plus nine two-ink recipes. Visual rules enforce that 25–55% of the composition stays empty, with halftone, risograph grain, or photocopy texture. The skill vets results for ink count and originality before delivering. Released three weeks ago and already approaching 3,000 stars.

Why a vibe-coder should care

Getting an editorial-quality image — tight print aesthetic, deliberate empty space, restrained palette — used to require a designer or hours in Figma. With this skill installed, you describe the idea and the agent handles the design decisions.
