Design System

Canvas

• 1080x1080px square
• Dark background: #0d1117 card on #0a0c10 body
• Border: 1px solid #1b1f27, 12px radius
• Padding: 56px 64px

Typography

• Font: 'SF Mono', 'Fira Code', 'Cascadia Code', 'JetBrains Mono', monospace
• Tree items: 17px, line-height 2.05
• Descriptions: 15px italic, right-aligned
• Headers/badges: 13px uppercase, letter-spacing 2px
• Base text color: #9198a1
• Descriptions: #3d434c
• Pipes/connectors: #21262d

Color System (muted, desaturated)

Use dot indicators (8px circles) before badges, and folder colors for tree items:

Assign each category a unique muted hue. Examples from dev-team:

• Steel blue: dot #6e8ab5, folder #8dabc4
• Sage green: dot #7aad7e, folder #8fbc8f
• Dusty purple: dot #b09cd2, folder #c0aee0
• Warm ochre: dot #c49464, folder #d4a574
• Rose: dot #b87ea0, folder #c48fad

All badges share the same dark #1f2937 background with #7d8590 text. Color differentiation comes from the dot only.

Layout Structure

1. Header: macOS traffic light dots (red/yellow/green at 50% opacity) + title in uppercase
2. Badges: Row of category labels with colored dot indicators
3. Tree: Directory tree using ├──, │, └── connectors. Each row has left (name) and right (description)
4. Footer: Stats on left, tagline on right, separated by border-top: 1px solid #161b22
5. Logo: {company} logo SVG in bottom-right, 80px wide, opacity 0.35

{company} Logo (inline SVG)

Process

1. Determine what to visualize (workers, features, architecture)
2. Group items into 3-5 color-coded categories
3. Pick muted hue pairs (dot + folder) for each category
4. Build tree structure with ├── / └── connectors
5. Add descriptions on the right (short, italic, muted)
6. Include {company} logo in footer at 0.35 opacity
7. Save to workspace/social-drafts/images/{date}-{slug}/{name}.html
8. Open in browser: open {path} or use agent-browser for screenshot

Screenshot to PNG

Use agent-browser to capture the final graphic:

agent-browser --allow-file-access open file://{absolute-path-to-html}
agent-browser screenshot --full {output-dir}/{name}.png
agent-browser close
