Use this skill when an Instagram post should feel calm, refined, natural, and editorial, with a Japanese lifestyle magazine sensibility.

Style Intent

Create minimalist IG posts with Japanese editorial style.

• Format: 4:5 Instagram post.
• Background: warm beige with subtle texture.

• Feeling: quiet, calm, aesthetic, lifestyle-oriented.

Non-Negotiables

• Use 4:5 aspect ratio unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.
• Keep the canvas quiet and uncluttered.
• Use warm beige as the dominant background.
• Use muted olive sparingly as an accent.
• Use soft charcoal for primary text.
• Preserve generous negative space.
• Prefer delicate typography and light grid alignment.
• Do not use bold colors, heavy shadows, glossy effects, dense collage, loud stickers, or aggressive marketing layout.
