I just used tested the canvas-design skill and the results were pretty awful.

This is the skill description:

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

What it created was an abstract art museum-esque poster with random shapes and no discernable message. It may have been trying to design a playing card but just failed miserably which is my experience with most AI image generators.

It certainly spent a lot of time, and effort to create the poster. It asked initial questions, developed a plan, did research, created tooling - seems like a waste of "tokens" given how simple and lame the resulting image turned out.

Also after testing I still don't know how to "use" one of these skills in an actual chat.



If you want to generate images, use Midjourney or whatever. It’s almost like you’ve deliberately missed the point of the feature.
