What is Canvas Design Skill?
Canvas Design is an official Anthropic skill for Claude that creates beautiful, original visual art in PNG and PDF documents. It works in two steps: first inventing a design philosophy, an aesthetic movement of its own, and then expressing it visually as a poster, piece of art or other static piece, never copying existing artists' work.
