LJG Card

Transform content into styled PNG cards with seven layout templates.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/ljg-card-lijigang/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

When Claude uses it

Content caster . Transforms content into PNG visuals. Seven molds: -l (default) long reading card, -i infograph, -m multi-card reading cards (1080x1440), -v editorial sketchnote (problem→failure→pivot→insight→naming, magazine + archive layout), -c comic (manga-style B&W), -w whiteboard (marker-style board layout), -b big-fonts attachment card (1080x1440, weathered style for ). Output to ~/Downloads. Use when user says , 'cast', 'sketchnote', 'editorial', 'comic', 'manga', 'whiteboard', 'big fonts'. Replaces ljg-cards and ljg-infograph.

What this skill does

LJG Card transforms written content into visually striking PNG cards. You choose from seven layout templates—each designed for different content types and audiences—and the skill handles the design work automatically. It's ideal for creating social media graphics, reading cards, visual notes, and editorial layouts without manual design tools.

What it does

  • Seven layout templates: long reading card (default), infograph, multi-card poster, editorial sketchnote, manga-style comic, whiteboard reasoning, and big-fonts attachment card
  • Flexible input: accepts URLs (auto-fetched), pasted text, or file paths
  • Automatic sizing: most cards scale to content height; poster and attachment modes lock at 1080×1440 pixels
  • Smart footers: automatically includes logo and source attribution (when available) on most layouts
  • Quality standards: follows consistent visual guidelines across all templates—no bland fonts, pure black, or generic phrasing
  • Direct file output: saves finished PNG to ~/Downloads with a filename derived from your content

How to use it

Provide your content (text, URL, or file path) and specify which template you want using a flag: -l for long reading, -i for infograph, -m for multi-card, -v for editorial sketchnote, -c for comic, -w for whiteboard, or -b for big-fonts card. Trigger the skill by mentioning "cast," "sketchnote," "editorial," "comic," "manga," "whiteboard," or "big fonts." The skill extracts a title from your content, applies the chosen template, and delivers the PNG file path.
