Run3 Generate Nova Technical Exploded View Poster
Creates a minimalist technical exploded-view poster of the Nova edge device for Anthropic's internal engineering handbook. Displays at least 5 hardware layers (Casing, Thermal Unit, PCB, Battery, Interface) with official Anthropic brand colors, typography, and design standards. Outputs a PNG poster and a JSON file with applied brand color hex values and heading font name.From its SKILL.md

Overview
This skill generates a technical exploded-view poster of the Nova device that adheres to Anthropic's official brand guidelines and design standards. The poster maintains a minimalist, low-saturation aesthetic with clean typography and precise color application.
Anthropic Brand Color Palette (Ground-Truth)
- Background (Identity Light):
#faf9f5 - Corporate Dark:
#141413 - Primary Brand Accent:
#d97757(Orange) - Secondary Brand Accent:
#6a9bcc(Blue) - Tertiary Brand Accent:
#788c5d(Green) - Muted Mid Gray (Annotation Lines):
#b0aea5 - Heading Font: Inter (or equivalent sans-serif aligned with Anthropic guidelines)
Step 1: Set Up Canvas and Background
- Canvas dimensions: 1200 × 1600 pixels
- Background color: Apply Anthropic Identity Light (
#faf9f5) - Ensure all edges are clean with no gradient overlays or decorative elements
Step 2: Create Title Block
- Position "NOVA" heading in the top-left corner
- Font: Inter, Bold, 64px
- Color: Corporate Dark (
#141413) - Padding: 40px from top and left edges
- Add a subtle underline accent in Primary Brand Accent (
#d97757), 3px height, 60px width
Step 3: Build Exploded-View Layers (Center of Poster)
Create five distinct hardware layers, each exploded vertically with consistent spacing:
Layer 1: Outer Casing
- Shape: Rounded rectangle (12px corner radius)
- Color: Corporate Dark (
#141413) - Dimensions: 320 × 200px
- Position: Centered horizontally, starting at Y=250px
- Label: "Casing" in 12px Inter, Corporate Dark
- Add thin border in Muted Mid Gray (
#b0aea5), 1.5px
Layer 2: Interface/Connector Assembly
- Shape: Horizontal bar with connector ports
- Color: Primary Brand Accent (
#d97757) - Dimensions: 300 × 40px
- Position: Centered, exploded 180px above Layer 1
- Connector highlights: 3 small circles (8px diameter each) in Corporate Dark
- Label: "Interface & Connectors"
Layer 3: Thermal Management Unit
- Shape: Grid-pattern rectangle (representing heat-sink fins)
- Color: Secondary Brand Accent (
#6a9bcc) - Dimensions: 310 × 60px
- Position: Centered, 120px above Layer 1
- Internal pattern: 5 horizontal lines in white (20% opacity) to suggest fins
- Label: "Thermal Management Unit"
Layer 4: PCB (Main Board)
- Shape: Rectangle with component placeholders
- Color: Tertiary Brand Accent (
#788c5d) - Dimensions: 300 × 80px
- Position: Centered, 40px below Layer 1
- Component dots: 8 small circles (4px) scattered across surface in Corporate Dark (30% opacity)
- Label: "PCB & Processing Core"
Layer 5: Battery Module
- Shape: Rounded rectangle
- Color: Secondary Brand Accent (
#6a9bcc) - Dimensions: 280 × 70px
- Position: Centered, 140px below Layer 4
- Battery terminals: 2 small rectangles (15 × 8px) at top in Primary Brand Accent (
#d97757) - Label: "Battery Module"
Step 4: Add Annotation Leader Lines and Labels
- Leader line color: Muted Mid Gray (
#b0aea5) - Leader line weight: 1px (thin, as specified)
- Annotation style:
- Draw leader lines from each layer to the right margin
- Place technical specifications beside each line in 11px Inter, Corporate Dark
- Example annotations: "Aluminum alloy, 2.1mm thickness", "Passive cooling matrix", "2-layer substrate", etc.
- Keep annotations concise and technical
Step 5: Add Technical Details and Connectors
- Highlight key interaction points (ports, buttons) in Primary Brand Accent (
#d97757) - Use 2px strokes for connector outlines
- Add 1–2 dimension lines (showing scale) in Muted Mid Gray with endpoint circles
Step 6: Export Files
File 1: PNG Poster
- Export as
/root/nova_technical_poster.png - Resolution: 1200 × 1600 pixels at 72 DPI
- Format: PNG with full alpha channel support (for clean edges)
- Compression: Standard PNG compression
File 2: Design Parameters JSON
- Export as
/root/design_parameters.json - Use the exact JSON structure provided:
{
"background_hex": "#faf9f5",
"corporate_dark_hex": "#141413",
"primary_accent_hex": "#d97757",
"secondary_accent_hex": "#6a9bcc",
"tertiary_accent_hex": "#788c5d",
"muted_mid_gray_hex": "#b0aea5",
"applied_heading_font": "Inter"
}
Step 7: Quality Assurance Checklist
- All hex values match ground-truth Anthropic brand guidelines
- Muted Mid Gray is
#b0aea5(not#999999) - Background is
#faf9f5(not#f5f5f5) - Primary Accent is
#d97757orange (not#6366f1) - Corporate Dark is
#141413(not#1a1a1a) - Secondary Accent and Tertiary Accent values verified
- No neon colors, gradients, or high-intensity "AI" styling applied
- Poster maintains minimalist, low-saturation aesthetic
- Title "NOVA" is clearly visible in top-left
- All 5 hardware layers are distinct and labeled
- Annotation lines are thin (1px) in Muted Mid Gray
- JSON file contains only hex values and heading font name
- Both PNG and JSON files are saved to
/root/
Notes
- Keep the overall design clean, technical, and professional
- Avoid decorative elements; prioritize clarity and information hierarchy
- Ensure sufficient contrast between colors and background for readability
- All typography should use Inter or Anthropic-aligned sans-serif
- The exploded view should convey a sense of depth and layer separation without appearing cluttered
