open-design-campaign
Turn one brief into a whole campaign — one master design exported to every channel size (social, link previews, banners, display ads), plus an optional landing page and email, in every language you need, checked and shown on one campaign sheet — use whenever the user wants a campaign, a launch kit, assets for several channels or sizes at once, ad banners in several sizes, or the same creative in several languages, even if they don't mention Open Design

name: "open-design-campaign"description: Turn one brief into a whole campaign — one master design exported to every channel size (social, link previews, banners, display ads), plus an optional landing page and email, in every language you need, checked and shown on one campaign sheet — use whenever the user wants a campaign, a launch kit, assets for several channels or sizes at once, ad banners in several sizes, or the same creative in several languages, even if they don't mention Open Designargument-hint: what the campaign is for, and optionally the channels and languages (e.g. "launch of our reporting dashboard, Instagram + LinkedIn + display ads, English and German")Build a campaign with Open Design: one message, one visual system, every channel.
Brief: "$ARGUMENTS" — or, if that is empty, the user's request in this conversation (if it isn't clear, ask the user: "What is the campaign for, which channels, and which languages?")
How to talk to the user. Many people using Open Design don't write code, so:
- Use the user's own words. If they say "artifact", "design tokens" or give a file path, use those terms back; otherwise use the plain words below.
- Keep the machinery out of replies: no tool names, no ids like
od:prototype:poster-hero, no internal files (.artifact.json,.comments.json,config.json), and not the words "register", "manifest", "sidecar", "entry" or "surface", unless the user used them first. - Explain a print term the first time it comes up, in one short clause, and not again.
- Say where a file is the way the user would find it ("in your Open Design folder, under seed-swap-flyer"). Give a raw path only where the user can click it (Claude Code, Claude Desktop's Code tab, VS Code) or asks for it.
- End each reply that finishes a step with one line on what they can do next, with at most two options ("Want it in Instagram sizes too, or is it ready to print?").
| Instead of | Say |
|---|---|
| artifact, entry, registered | your design, saved |
| design system, active design system | your style (the first time: "a saved style: colours, fonts and spacing") |
| surface, skill, template, recipe | kind of design, starting layout, or nothing |
| workspace, output directory | your folder, your Open Design folder |
| bleed | print edge ("a few millimetres extra that the printer trims off") |
| trim size | final size |
| preflight findings, errors | "I checked it and fixed…", "one thing to look at:" |
| export | save as PDF, save as an image |
| inline preview, MCP App | the preview above |
1. Agree the copy deck
Before designing anything, agree the words with the user. Draft them from the brief and show them as a short table:
headline(≤ 6 words),subhead(one line),cta(2–4 words), andlegal(one short line, if the brief needs one);- one row per language (
localecolumn:en,de,ja…) or per audience, if the user wants several. Translate faithfully and keep each row's meaning identical.
When the user is happy, save it as copy.csv in the campaign folder (<output dir>/<campaign-slug>/copy.csv), with a header row: locale,headline,subhead,cta,legal.
2. Build one fluid master
Call prepare_open_design_brief with od:prototype:poster-hero (or a better-fitting poster or social skill from list_open_design_skills), the brief, format: "ig-portrait" and fluid: true, plus collectionId (the campaign slug), collectionName and screenRole: "master".
Build it as the brief says, and also:
- every piece of copy is an element with
data-od-field="<column>"from the copy deck, holding the first row's text; - add
data-od-fitto the headline and subhead, so long translations shrink (to at most 70%) instead of overflowing; - design the wide band (
@container (aspect-ratio > 1.2)) and add a very wide band for banners (@container (aspect-ratio > 3): headline and call to action side by side, everything else hidden withdata-od-priority).
Register it (register_open_design_artifact with the same format, collectionId, collectionName and screenRole: "master").
3. Pick channels
Ask which channels the campaign needs, unless the brief says. Offer this menu (format ids in brackets):
| Channel | Formats |
|---|---|
| Instagram / Facebook feed | ig-portrait, ig-square |
| Stories, Reels, TikTok | story |
| X | x-image, x-header |
linkedin-image, linkedin-banner | |
| Link previews (website, Slack) | og-image |
| Display ads (150 KB each) | banner-mrec, banner-leaderboard, banner-skyscraper, banner-mobile |
| Email header | email-header |
a4, a3, letter… |
4. Check every shape
Call export_open_design_artifact with presets set to the chosen formats, data: "<campaign folder>/copy.csv", nameField: "locale" and checkOnly: true. Fix every error in the findings (per shape and per row). For a shape that looks wrong or has errors, call adapt_open_design_artifact with those format ids and tune it in the same file. Tiny ad sizes usually need their own @container rule: headline and call to action only. Repeat until there are no errors.
Artifact preview. If you have an Artifact tool, publish this design as its private artifact preview (the master) once every shape is clean: call publish_open_design_artifact with provider: "claude-artifact" and follow what it returns. Publish again after each round of feedback you apply; it goes to the same artifact. Give the link once, then just say the preview was updated.
5. Other pieces (optional)
If the user wants a landing page or an email, build each with its own skill (od:prototype:saas-landing or od:prototype:web-prototype, and od:prototype:email-campaign) using the same design system and the first row of the copy deck. Register each with the same collectionId and collectionName, and screenRole landing or email. Check each with check_open_design_artifact.
6. Export and show the sheet
- Export the master:
export_open_design_artifactwith the samepresets,dataandnameField: "locale", pluscampaignSheet: true. This writes one image (or print PDF) per shape per row, named<name>-<locale>-<format>, andexports/campaign-sheet.png, which shows every shape and every other piece, with a red dot on any that still has errors. If the export says the outputs are over the limit, export one batch of locales at a time. - If there's an email, export it with
format: "email"(andbaseUrlonce its images are hosted). - Show the user the campaign sheet, list the files per channel, and mention anything still flagged. The export also writes
exports/campaign-sheet.json, which lists each tile in sheet order with its errors.
- In Claude Desktop Chat, call
show_open_design_artifactwith the master'sentryPathandcampaign: true: the sheet shows inline tile by tile, with each tile's errors. A page-type piece opens when clicked, and "Fix this piece" posts the tile and its errors in the chat; fix that piece, export again withcampaignSheet: true, and show the sheet again. If the result says the host doesn't show MCP Apps, just showexports/campaign-sheet.pngas above.
