What this skill does


# Canva Skill

Create, export, and manage Canva designs via the Connect API.

## When to Use

- "Create an Instagram post about [topic]"
- "Export my Canva design as PNG"
- "List my recent designs"
- "Create a carousel from these points"
- "Upload this image to Canva"

## Prerequisites

1. **Create a Canva Integration:**
   - Go to https://www.canva.com/developers/
   - Create a new integration
   - Get your Client ID and Client Secret

2. **Set Environment Variables:**
   ```bash
   export CANVA_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
   export CANVA_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"
   ```

3. **Authenticate (first time):**
   Run the auth flow to get access tokens (stored in `~/.canva/tokens.json`)

## API Base URL

```
https://api.canva.com/rest/v1
```

## Authentication

Canva uses OAuth 2.0. The skill handles token refresh automatically.

```bash
# Get access token (stored in ~/.canva/tokens.json)
ACCESS_TOKEN=$(cat ~/.canva/tokens.json | jq -r '.access_token')
```

## Core Operations

### List Designs

```bash
curl -s "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/designs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### Get Design Details

```bash
curl -s "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/designs/{designId}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### Create Design from Template

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/autofills" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "brand_template_id": "TEMPLATE_ID",
    "data": {
      "title": {"type": "text", "text": "Your Title"},
      "body": {"type": "text", "text": "Your body text"}
    }
  }'
```

### Export Design

```bash
# Start export job
curl -X POST "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/exports" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "design_id": "DESIGN_ID",
    "format": {"type": "png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080}
  }'

# Check export status
curl -s "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/exports/{jobId}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### Upload Asset

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/asset-uploads" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  -H 'Asset-Upload-Metadata: {"name": "my-image.png"}' \
  --data-binary @image.png
```

### List Brand Templates

```bash
curl -s "https://api.canva.com/rest/v1/brand-templates" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq .
```

## Export Formats

| Format | Options |
|--------|---------|
| PNG | width, height, lossless |
| JPG | width, height, quality (1-100) |
| PDF | standard, print |
| MP4 | (for video designs) |
| GIF | (for animated designs) |

## Common Workflows

### Create Instagram Post

1. List brand templates: `GET /brand-templates`
2. Find Instagram post template
3. Autofill with content: `POST /autofills`
4. Export as PNG 1080x1080: `POST /exports`
5. Download the exported file

### Create Carousel

1. Create multiple designs using autofill
2. Export each as PNG
3. Combine for posting

### Batch Export

1. List designs: `GET /designs`
2. Loop through and export each
3. Download all files

## Rate Limits

- Most endpoints: 100 requests/minute
- Upload/Export: 30 requests/minute

## Error Handling

Common errors:
- `401` - Token expired, refresh needed
- `403` - Missing required scope
- `429` - Rate limit exceeded
- `404` - Design/template not found

## Scopes Required

- `design:content:read` - Read designs
- `design:content:write` - Create/modify designs
- `asset:read` - Read assets
- `asset:write` - Upload assets
- `brandtemplate:content:read` - Read brand templates

## Tips

1. **Use Brand Templates** - Pre-designed templates are faster than creating from scratch
2. **Batch Operations** - Group exports to avoid rate limits
3. **Cache Template IDs** - Store commonly used template IDs locally
4. **Check Job Status** - Exports are async; poll until complete

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

Backend & APIsscripts

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
