  Agent Skills PUBLISHED BY CANVA — not authored here. Canva ships a public repository of
  ready-to-use Skills that drive Canva through its own MCP connector, each a SKILL.md with
  frontmatter (name, description) plus a markdown workflow. The repo is vendored verbatim
  under skills/canva-claude-skills/; nothing in it was written or edited by API Evangelist.

    The Canva connector (hosted MCP server, https://mcp.canva.com/mcp) must be connected and
    authorized — the skills call Canva through MCP tools, not through the REST API directly.

    file: skills/canva-claude-skills/resize-for-social-media/SKILL.md

    note: >-
      The resize operations declare x-required-capabilities ["resize"], so this skill fails
      with 403 for users whose Canva plan lacks the capability (free users get a small trial
      quota). See conventions/canva-conventions.yml.
agents_md:
  supported: true
  note: >-
    Separately from these skills, `canva apps create --optionalConfig` can scaffold AGENTS.md
    and CLAUDE.md into a new Canva app project. See cli/canva-cli.yml.
notes:
  - >-
    No skills were generated by this pipeline. Canva publishes its own, so the SEARCH step
    succeeded and there is nothing to author — generating alongside these would only dilute a
    first-party set.
