Canva Agent Skills

Professional agent skills for working with Canva designs. This repo is a marketplace-style package: root-level marketplace metadata points to one shared plugin package under plugins/canva/, which supports Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

How This Repo Is Organized

This repo separates host entrypoints from the reusable Canva plugin package:

marketplace/catalog -> exposes plugin package -> plugin contains skills

• Marketplaces/catalogs expose installable plugins to a host.
• Plugins are the installable distribution unit.
• Skills live inside the plugin package because they are bundled with the plugin when installed.

The shared Canva plugin package is plugins/canva/. It contains the active skills/ directory, host-specific plugin manifests, and Canva MCP registration.

The root hidden folders are host entrypoints:

• .agents/plugins/marketplace.json — Codex marketplace entrypoint
• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — Claude plugin marketplace entrypoint
• .cursor/ — Cursor project config, not a marketplace

Each host entrypoint folder has a small README with setup notes for that host.

Active Plugin Skills

These skills are exposed consistently by Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex through the shared plugins/canva/skills/ directory.

implement-feedback

Implement reviewer feedback on a Canva design — read comment threads, make the clear-cut changes.

Use when: A design has been reviewed and you want to apply the feedback without manually reading every comment thread and editing each slide.

Capabilities:

• Reads all comment threads and replies across the design
• Triages feedback into actionable, ambiguous, and manual-only categories
• Applies API-supported changes (text, formatting, images) in a single batch
• Presents a checklist of remaining manual changes with step-by-step instructions
• Replies to comment threads to close the feedback loop

edit-design

Make safe, approval-gated edits to an existing Canva design.

Capabilities:

• Starts a Canva editing transaction, performs batched operations, and commits only after approval
• Changes text content and supported text formatting
• Replaces, inserts, deletes, repositions, or resizes supported media and elements
• Clearly flags changes that the Canva API cannot perform

get-design-feedback

Read a Canva design and return structured, actionable design feedback.

Use when: You want critique on visual hierarchy, copy, layout, spacing, consistency, readability, accessibility, or fit for purpose.

Capabilities:

• Reads rendered thumbnails and design text
• Uses read-only inspection for layout details where available
• Prioritizes page-specific findings with concrete fixes
• Never edits or commits changes

brand-check

Check a Canva design against a brand kit and report where it diverges.

Use when: You want to know whether a design is on brand, including colors, typography, logo handling, tone, and consistency.

Capabilities:

• Lists available brand kits and compares against the selected kit
• Uses thumbnails as primary evidence when exact colors/fonts are not exposed
• Marks findings as on brand, off brand, or can't verify
• Makes no changes unless the user asks to hand off fixable items to edit-design

Inactive Skills

The repo also keeps additional skill work under plugins/canva/inactive-skills/. These are not exposed by Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex because each host now registers the same active subset from plugins/canva/skills/.
