What This Skill Does

Generates original visual art and design artifacts as .png or .pdf files. Works in two stages: first defining an aesthetic philosophy (a named movement with visual principles), then expressing that philosophy on a canvas with composition, color, form, and minimal text. Outputs include the philosophy as a .md file and the final artwork. Rather than prompting a generic image generator, this skill builds a named aesthetic philosophy first and then executes against it, producing work with intentional visual logic instead of random stylistic output.
