A SKILL.md for Claude Code, Codex and any agent that reads skills. It’s the craft behind Fil’s Business card workflow, written out so your agent can follow it too.
Install it
Unzip it into your agent’s skills folder. The agent reads its name and description, and the rest only when a task needs it.

Read first
Card.md for the name, the role, the company, the details, the look and the paper; the logo wired in.
Artwork (16:9, both sides)
- Each side is the card itself, filling the whole picture edge to edge, flat and straight on: no table, shadow, perspective or mockup.
- Everything at least 6% in from every edge, where the card is trimmed.
- Front, the brand side: the logo or the company's name with lots of space around it, and at most one short line (the tagline).
- Back, the person: their name largest, the role under it, then the details in Card.md's order, aligned to one edge on a clear grid.
- Every word, number and address exactly as Card.md spells it, letter for letter. A detail Card.md marks as none is left off; nothing is added: no placeholder text, icons with made-up details, or QR code unless Card.md asks.
- Set at real card size: the details at about 7–8 pt and the name at about 11 pt (small next to the card, with wide margins), one typeface family in a light or book weight, and a hairline rule or a fine detail that gives it craft.
- A considered grid, not a stacked list: the name and role in one block, the details in another, aligned to a margin, with plenty of air.
- The look from Card.md: one or two colours on the paper's colour, and at most one finish (a foil, a spot colour, letterpress) on the front.
- With a logo wired in, use it exactly, never redrawn. Without one, set the company's name in clean type; never invent a symbol.
Printed cards (4:3)
The two wired sides as real printed cards on the surface Card.md names, in soft daylight: one showing the front and one the back, slightly overlapping, the paper's thickness and texture visible, the type sharp and exactly as designed.
Avoid
Misspelled names or details, text near the trimmed edge, more than two typefaces, clip-art, gradients that won't print, made-up details, and two sides that look like different brands.
