Ink Spot Illustrations: example output

4 images made by this skill from examples/margin and examples/saltbox

What you get

  • Three ink styles, engraving, line and brush, or your own
  • Up to 36 drawings from one spots.json, six to a sheet, sheet 1 as the style reference
  • 1024 px transparent PNGs in up to 6 ink colours
  • An SVG per drawing that takes the colour of the text around it
  • Checks for missing or merged drawings, a tinted paper and uneven ink weight
  • Open-source licenses for every part it builds on

Good fit

  • Site builders can put small matching drawings beside headings, in empty states and at the end of articles.
  • Cafés, bakeries and shops can get a set of line drawings for the menu, the website and the packaging.
  • Newsletter writers can use the SVGs in one ink on a light page and another on a dark page from the same file.

Not for

  • Full-colour or painted illustrations: see Painted Cover Series
  • Drawings with words, signs or logos in them
  • Vector paths to edit point by point: the SVG holds the ink as an image mask

About this skill

A matched set of hand-inked spot illustrations for a site, newsletter or menu: nineteenth-century engraving, single-weight line or sumi brush. An image model draws them six to a sheet in black ink on white, and the script lifts each drawing off the paper as transparent ink, keeping fine hatching, then exports a PNG in every ink colour you list and an SVG that takes its colour from CSS.

Example request

Make six engraving-style spot illustrations for our reading app, in near-black and in our navy.

FAQ

Why is the SVG in currentColor?

The ink is a mask over a rectangle filled with currentColor, so the drawing takes the CSS colour of the text around it. One file then works on light and dark pages and in hover states.

Does it keep fine hatching?

Yes. Ink strength is read from how much darker each pixel is than the paper, with the paper and ink levels measured on each sheet, so faint hatching stays faint and the paper goes fully clear.

Can I use my own drawings?

Yes. Scan or photograph them in black ink on white paper, six to a page with space between them, save the pages in sheets/ and run the command; the same lift and exports run on them.

Which agents is Ink Spot Illustrations written for?

Any agent that reads SKILL.md folders, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.

Do I own what I make with it?

Yes. Everything your agent makes with this skill is yours, including for client and commercial work.
