Localized reading guide
canva-creatorPurpose, usage and source
Takes an approved content brief and executes a campaign end-to-end: builds the posting calendar, generates Canva designs for social posts, drafts caption and email copy, and stages social sends in HubSpot. Canva is used for social posts only (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn) — email content is drafted as plain text and surfaced inline for the owner to send from their own tool. Every step requires explicit owner approval. This is the one-shot campaign executor: a finished brief goes in, a complete campaign comes out. Use when the owner hands off an approved brief or points at one — "run this brief," "execute the campaign," "turn this brief into posts," "build the campaign from the plan we approved." For day-to-day posting with no brief — "I need to post more," "what should we post" — use social-content-engine instead; it owns the standing calendar.

What this Skill does
Takes an approved content brief and executes a campaign end-to-end: builds the posting calendar, generates Canva designs for social posts, drafts caption and email copy, and stages social sends in HubSpot. Canva is used for social posts only (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn) — email content is drafted as plain text and surfaced inline for the owner to send from their own tool.

How the upstream workflow works
Scope
This skill handles a campaign in five sequential stages, each gated by owner approval: Canva is not used for email rows under any circumstance — no templates, no autofill, no design copies, no asset uploads, no exports. Email graphics are out of scope for this skill because email-template autofill produces placeholder graphics when image slots exceed available photos, and variation thumbnails fail to render in chat previews. If the owner asks for a Canva email design, see reference/gotchas.md for the redirect language.
Pre-flight
Before Stage 1, confirm: Brief. The user has referenced or pasted an approved brief. If not: "I'll need the content brief before I can build the campaign. Do you have one from the content-strategy skill, or would you like to write one now?"
Upstream passage · L45 ↗Stage 1 — Posting calendar
Pull from the brief: content themes, channels, cadence, hard dates (launches, sales, holidays). Build a calendar table with a Path column that routes every row to either Canva or text-only drafting:
brief → calendar → asset inventory → Canva designs → copy → HubSpot stagingRequirements and setup
No short requirements passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill has no dependencies. Check the repository setup instructions and referenced files.
Limits and quality checks
No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
