How to use the Editorial Web Prototype agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The Editorial Web Prototype skill (web-proto-editorial) is a style template for an AI agent that builds web page mockups. Once it is installed, the agent uses a magazine-inspired look when you ask for a prototype: warm single-color backgrounds, serif headings, a clean sans-serif body and lots of white space. This guide explains what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for a prototype so the agent uses it, and what to watch out for.

What does the Editorial Web Prototype skill make the agent do?
An agent skill is a folder of instructions that an AI agent reads when a task matches the skill's purpose. This skill tells the agent how to style a prototype page. It does not add new abilities, and it does not produce production code.
When asked for a prototype, the agent follows the editorial look described in the skill: a warm monochrome canvas, serif display headings, a grotesque (neo-grotesque sans-serif) body font, small monospace meta labels, 1px hairline borders, soft chips, macro-whitespace and ambient micro-motion.
- Warm monochrome canvas background
- Serif display headings with a grotesque body font
- Small monospace labels for meta information
- 1px hairline borders and soft chips
- Generous white space and subtle motion
- Desktop aspect hint of 1440 wide
How do you install the skill?
Download the ZIP of the skill from this page. Then choose one of two routes.
For a personal setup available across your projects, unzip the download into ~/.claude/skills/. For a single project, unzip it into the .claude/skills/ folder inside that project.
If you use the Claude apps, you can instead upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
- Personal install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/
- Project install: unzip into .claude/skills/ inside your project
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload
How do you trigger the skill with a request?
You do not need a special command. Ask the agent for a prototype and mention the editorial or magazine style. The skill's description and tags (editorial, minimalist, serif) are what help the agent decide to use it.
Be specific about the page you want: its purpose, main sections and whether it is a landing page or product mockup.
- "Make a magazine-style landing page prototype for a coffee subscription, editorial look."
- "Mock up a minimalist product page with a serif headline and warm background."
- "Build a quick editorial-style concept page for a new journal app."
What does the example file show?
The skill folder includes example.html, which shows the result of the editorial style. Open it in a browser to see the palette, type pairing, hairline borders and spacing the agent is meant to reproduce.
Use it as a reference when you judge whether the agent followed the style. The skill itself is a design brief written in SKILL.md, not a program.
What does the skill need, and is it safe?
The source lists no required tools or packages. The skill does not run scripts and does not use the network, so it only changes how the agent styles its output.
Because it contains no scripts, there is little to review beyond reading SKILL.md and example.html. Check the output anyway before sharing, since the agent writes the prototype code.
- Requires: nothing listed
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
- Licence: Apache-2.0
Tips for better results
Name the audience and purpose in your request, because the skill sets style but not content. Say when a page should be simpler or more detailed.
Remember the fixed palette and fonts. If your brand has its own colours or typefaces, the output will not match them unless you change the skill yourself.
- Describe sections and content in the request, not just the style
- Compare the result with example.html to check the look
- Use the output as a concept, then rebuild it properly for production
What people use it for
- A magazine-style landing page for a small product launch
- A minimalist product page concept to show a client before development
- A quick editorial-style mockup for a journal or publication idea
Frequently asked questions
Is the Editorial Web Prototype skill free?
The skill is licensed under Apache-2.0. Check the license text in the download for the terms that apply to your use.
What do I need to use this skill?
The source lists no required packages or tools. You need an agent environment that supports skills, such as the Claude apps or Claude Code with a skills folder.
Where do I put the skill folder?
Unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or into .claude/skills/ inside a project. In the Claude apps, upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
Does the skill run code or access the internet?
No. The skill runs no scripts and uses no network. It is a styling brief for the agent.
Can I use it for a production web app?
Not on its own. The skill only describes styling and layout, with no logic, data handling or accessibility testing, so production apps need more work.
Can I use my brand's colours and fonts?
The palette and fonts are fixed in the skill. To match brand guidelines you would need to edit SKILL.md yourself, or use a different skill.

Our verdict
This skill suits designers and developers who want a quick, elegant magazine-style concept page with a consistent look. It is a poor choice for complex web apps, production code that needs accessibility testing, or brands with a required visual identity, because it only sets style and uses a fixed palette and fonts.
