What problem does it solve?
Rapidly authoring, populating, and arranging Obsidian Canvas files is tedious and error-prone; this Skill automates canvas creation so users get production-ready layouts, content, and media without manual placement or file wrangling.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Full-canvas generation: Instantiate presentations, flowcharts, mind maps, galleries, storyboards, timelines, dashboards, and knowledge graphs from templates or a single natural-language prompt.
- Intelligent layout & validation: Apply six layout algorithms (dagre, grid, radial, force, linear, auto), enforce 20px grid snapping, group-first z-ordering, and run validation checks for overlaps, node limits, and path correctness.
- Media and integration: Orchestrate AI image (banana), SVG, and GIF sub-skills, compute vault-relative file paths and sizes, and produce Advanced Canvas slide groups (1200x675) for presentations.
Quick Start
Say /canvas create q3-review from presentation to create a 1200x675 slide deck and then say /canvas generate "mood board for cyberpunk game" to populate it with AI-generated content and images.
