How to use the Digital E-Guide agent skill

What is the Digital E-Guide skill and what does it make the agent do?

An agent skill is a folder of instructions and files that an AI agent can load when a task matches it. This skill, named digital-eguide, teaches the agent one specific layout: a two-page spread styled like an open book with a soft beige, creator-brand look.

When you ask for a guide, the agent produces an HTML page showing a cover on the left and a content page on the right. The cover carries a display title, an author line, a 'What's inside' section and a table-of-contents teaser. The content page holds a lesson body, a highlighted pull-quote and a numbered step list.

• Left page: cover with display title, author, 'What's inside' data and TOC teaser
• Right page: lesson body, pull-quote and step list
• Layout: side-by-side landscape pages, like a book opened flat

How do you install the digital-eguide skill?

There are two routes. Download the skill ZIP from the item page and unzip it. Then either place the folder in your personal skills directory, ~/.claude/skills/, or in a project's .claude/skills/ folder so it applies only to that project.

If you use the Claude apps instead, upload the ZIP under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

• Personal install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/
• Project install: unzip into the project's .claude/skills/ folder
• Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the ZIP

How do you trigger the skill with a natural request?

You do not need a special command. Describe a guide you want and mention that it is a two-page or spread-style booklet, so the agent matches the request to this skill. Name the marketing purpose, such as a lead magnet, a free guide or a lookbook.

Include the content you want on each page: the title, the author, the lesson points and the steps. The more specific the request, the closer the first draft will be to what you need.

• Say what the guide is for: lead magnet, free guide, lookbook or campaign booklet
• Give the title, author name and three to five contents items for the cover
• Give the lesson text, one pull-quote and the steps for the content page

What do example requests look like?

These are examples of wording that fits this skill. Adjust names and content to your own brand.

Example one: a free guide for newsletter sign-ups, with a cover titled 'Five Mornings to a Calmer Workday' and a content page listing three steps.

Example two: a quick branded booklet mockup for a spring campaign, with a pull-quote from the founder and a short numbered checklist.

What does the skill need, and is it safe to run?

The skill lists no requirements. It does not run scripts and does not use the network, so it only supplies layout instructions and an example HTML file. The package contains two files: SKILL.md, which holds the instructions, and example.html, which shows the two-page layout.

Because nothing is executed, the main safety question is the content you publish. Check the copy, names and claims in the generated HTML before sharing it with an audience.

• Requires: nothing listed
• Runs scripts: no
• Uses network: no
• Files: SKILL.md and example.html

What are the limits and tips for better results?

The template covers two pages only. It does not scale to long, multi-chapter ebooks, so split longer material into separate guides or use a different tool. The visual style is a fixed lifestyle or creator look with limited customisation described, so it is a poor fit for strict corporate or brand-locked design.

For better results, keep the lesson text short enough to fit one content page and write steps as short imperative lines. Open example.html to see the intended layout before you request your own.

• Keep the content page to one lesson body, one pull-quote and one step list
• Shorten copy to fit two pages; do not request many chapters
• Review the generated HTML before publishing
