Generate high-density editorial HTML info cards in a modern magazine and Swiss-international style, then capture them as ratio-specific screenshots. Use when the user provides text or core information and wants: (1) a complete responsive HTML info card, (2) the design to follow the stored editorial prompt, (3) output in fixed visual ratios such as 3:4, 4:3, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 2.35:1, or 5:2, or (4) both HTML and a rendered PNG cover/card from the same content.

Editorial Card Screenshot

Overview

Turn source text into a compact, high-contrast HTML information card that follows the user's editorial prompt, then render a screenshot in one of the supported aspect ratios.

Always preserve three output stages unless the user explicitly asks to skip one:

Write one sentence judging the information density as high, medium, or low.
Output the complete HTML with embedded CSS.
Self-check that body text remains readable on mobile.

Workflow

1. Analyze Content Density

Choose layout strategy from the content itself:

Use "big-character" composition when content is sparse and a single phrase, number, or hook can carry the page.
Use a two-column or three-column editorial grid when content is dense and needs stronger hierarchy.
Use oversized numbers, heavy rules, tinted blocks, and pull-quote scale to avoid dead space.
Do not force dense content into evenly weighted tiles. Build primary blocks, secondary blocks, and lighter supporting blocks.
Match structure to content type:
- Ranking / recommendation content: allow asymmetric hero + structured list.
- Tutorial / analysis / interpretation content: group into overview, core judgment, interpretation, boundary, and conclusion.

2. Apply the Stored Editorial Rules

Use these defaults unless the user overrides them:

Import Google Fonts:

html

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Serif+SC:wght@700;900&family=Noto+Sans+SC:wght@400;500;700&family=Oswald:wght@500;700&family=Inter:wght@400;600;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

Keep body text at
```
18px
```
to
```
20px
```
on a 900px-wide composition.
Keep meta/tag text at
```
13px
```
minimum.
Use compact spacing: container padding

Add visual weight with

accent rules, subtle gray planes, and

noise overlays.

or similar warm-paper backgrounds unless the user supplies another palette.
Preserve breathing room. Do not shrink outer margins so much that the card loses composure.
For title zones, prefer larger line-height and clearer separation from subtitle / summary blocks.
In dense right-side modules, reduce font weight slightly so the page stays clear without feeling heavy.

3. Build HTML for Rendering

When HTML will be screenshotted, design the page as a canvas instead of a scrolling article:

Make the outer page match the target ratio.
Remove browser-default margins with
```
html, body { margin: 0; }
```
.
Center the card within the viewport and let it fill most of the frame.
Avoid interactions, sticky headers, or long scrolling sections.

Use fixed aspect ratio wrappers when needed:

css

.frame {
  width: 100vw;
  min-height: 100vh;
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
  background: #e9e2d4;
}

If the user asks only for HTML, still make the layout screenshot-ready.

Use these structural heuristics when composing the card:

Fill the proportion intentionally. Rebalance layout according to width / height instead of scaling one static template.
In
```
4:3
```
landscape, asymmetric left-right layouts often work best for dense analytical content.
In
```
3:4
```
portrait, compress the number of concurrent columns and let the title / summary stack vertically.
Keep title, subtitle, and closing summary in a vertical conversation so they do not leave dead space between them.
If using numbered modules, keep numbers visually weak enough that they never collide with titles.
If a section becomes visually monotonous, introduce contrast through hierarchy changes rather than decorative clutter.

4. Capture the Screenshot

Use the bundled shell script when the user wants a PNG output:

bash

./skills/editorial-card-screenshot/scripts/capture_card.sh input.html output.png 3:4

Supported ratios and render sizes live in references/ratios.md.

The script uses local headless Chrome at

/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome

Before running the script:

Save the generated HTML to a local file.
Ensure the page is self-contained except for fonts.
Ensure the viewport composition already matches the requested ratio.

5. Ratio Policy

Accept only these ratio presets:

```
3:4
```
```
4:3
```
```
1:1
```
```
16:9
```
```
9:16
```
```
2.35:1
```
```
5:2
```

If the user gives a ratio outside this set, ask them to map it to the nearest supported preset rather than inventing a new one.

Output Contract

When responding to a card-generation request:

Start with exactly one sentence describing information density.
Then output complete HTML in one code block.
If the user also requested an image, state the ratio used and the screenshot command after the HTML.
Keep prose short; the HTML is the deliverable.

Resources

references/ratios.md

Open this when you need the exact preset names or capture dimensions.

references/editorial-card-prompt.md

Use this as the canonical prompt spec when the user wants the latest validated editorial-card behavior.

scripts/capture_card.sh

Run this to capture a PNG from a local HTML file using a supported ratio preset.

assets/card-template.html

Use this as a starting shell when you want a minimal ratio-ready HTML canvas before filling in real content.
