Use it when a brief asks for an e-guide, lookbook, lead magnet, or PDF guide. **Install:** ```bash npx degit https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design/tree/main/design-templates/digital-eguide ~/.claude/skills/digital-eguide ``` ## README # Digital E-Guide Skill Produce a two-page digital guide preview side-by-side. Cover on the inline-start, inside spread on the inline-end. Lifestyle creator tone, lots of negative space, serif display headings, careful column rhythm. ## Workflow 1. **Read the active DESIGN.md** (injected above). Pick a serif display token for the title (italic ligatures encouraged), a body serif for long-form, and a mono token for stats / labels. 2. **Pick the topic + author** from the brief. Generate a real title (e.g. "The Creator's Style & Format Guide"), a real subtitle, and a one-line author byline. 3. **Layout** — center two pages on a tinted backdrop: - **Page 1 — cover**: - Eyebrow ("STYLE & FORMAT GUIDE FOR CREATORS"). - Display title with mixed weights and one italic flourish word ("The Creator's Style & Format guide" — `&` and `guide` italic). - 3-cell stat row ("16 PRINCIPLES OF STYLE", "38 DOS & DON'TS", "1 BLOCK, ZERO TEMPLATES") in mono, separated by `·`. - "What's inside" header with a 2-column TOC (chapters + page numbers in mono, leader dots). - Footer: "FIND YOUR VOICE" + page 01 mono. - Subtle decorative dot or sticker (CSS) in a corner. - **Page 2 — spread**: - Eyebrow with chapter number + name ("CHAPTER 02 · TONE"). - Display sub-title ("Write like you talk — only sharper."). - 2-column body: opening paragraph + a numbered 4-step list ("01 Pick the rule", "02 Drop the filler"…). - Pull-quote pinned to inline-end: for Latin scripts use large italic display and accent color; for Arabic, Persian, and Urdu use regular or light emphasis (no italics); for Hebrew use regular or light emphasis (no italics). Include attribution. (script-aware) - Bottom strip with "EXERCISE" callout (mono label + 1 sentence prompt in italic). - Footer: chapter title + page 18 mono. 4. **Write** a single HTML document: - `` through ``, CSS inline. - Pages are 600×860 paper-tone cards with 6px shadow, slight rotation opposing each other (±0.6deg) for a magazine-on-desk feel. - `data-od-id` on cover, spread, toc, pull-quote, exercise. 5. **Self-check**: - Type hierarchy is editorial — title owns page 1, sub-title owns page 2. - Italic accent appears once per page. - Mono used only for labels, stats, and TOC numbers. ## Output contract Emit between `` tags: ``` ... ``` One sentence before the artifact, nothing after.
