How to use the Twitter Share Card agent skill (card-twitter)

Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data

The Twitter Share Card skill (card-twitter) is a design template that an AI agent follows when you ask for a quote or data graphic to attach to a post on X/Twitter. This guide explains what the skill makes the agent produce, how to install it, how to trigger it with plain requests, and what to check before you publish. Once you finish, you should be able to generate a 16:9 card, screenshot it and post it alongside a tweet.

What the Twitter Share Card skill makes the agent do

An agent skill is a set of instructions and files that tells an AI agent how to handle one kind of task. This skill covers Twitter quote or data cards designed to pair with a post.

When you ask for one, the agent builds a 1600×900 HTML page. The page has a large central quote (the template sets the hero line at a large text size, limited to two or three lines), an author line with an avatar placeholder and handle, a small label in the top-left such as Insight, Data or Quote, and a brand watermark in the bottom-right. The background has subtle texture such as a grid, noise or dot pattern. The template can use a dark or light look depending on the mood of the content.

  • Output: a single HTML page sized 1600×900 (16:9)
  • Labels: Insight, Data or Quote
  • Texture: grid, noise or dot pattern
  • You screenshot the result and attach it to your tweet

Install the Twitter Share Card skill

You have two options. You can download the ZIP from the skill's page on this directory, then either unzip it into your personal skills folder or into a project's skills folder. The source names these locations as ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use and .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Alternatively, in the Claude apps, go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload the ZIP there.

  • Personal install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/
  • Project install: unzip into .claude/skills/ in your project folder
  • Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the ZIP

Check what the skill contains

The package has three files: SKILL.md, which holds the instructions the agent reads; example.html, a sample card; and open-design.json, the metadata file. After unzipping, you should see these files inside the card-twitter folder.

  • SKILL.md: agent instructions
  • example.html: sample quote card
  • open-design.json: metadata

Trigger the skill with a natural request

You do not need a special command. Describe the card you want in plain language and mention Twitter, a quote or a data card. The source's example prompt asks the agent to use the Twitter Share Card template, keep its visual look, use real content and data, and avoid lorem ipsum and placeholder images. You can write something similar in your own words.

Give the agent the exact quote or numbers you want on the card. The skill does not check facts, so the more precise your input, the safer the output.

  • Example request: Make a Twitter quote card from this insight: [your sentence], author [name], label Insight.
  • Example request: Make a Twitter data card showing [statistic] with the label Data, dark background.
  • Tip: state the label you want (Insight, Data or Quote) and whether you want dark or light.

Screenshot the card and post it

The agent produces an HTML page, not an image file. Open the page in a browser at 1600×900 and take a screenshot of the card. Then attach the image to your tweet. The source describes the result as simple and strong visually, ready to send with a post once captured.

  • Open the generated HTML in your browser
  • Set the window to 1600×900 if your screenshot tool allows it
  • Capture the card and attach it to your post

Safety notes and limits

According to the source, this skill does not run scripts and does not use the network. It requires nothing beyond the agent itself. The template has its own fixed look and needs no design system, so it is not designed for projects that must use a specific brand system or exact fonts.

The skill does not verify your content. The agent may fill in text, so check every quote, name and statistic before you publish. Also check the avatar and handle, since the template uses placeholders.

  • No scripts are run by this skill
  • No network use
  • Verify every quote and number yourself
  • Replace placeholder avatars and handles before posting

What people use it for

  • Turning a single insight from a long post into a quote card for a tweet
  • Presenting one statistic from a report as a clean data card
  • Creating a consistent series of quote cards for a social media account
  • Making a quick visual for a thread opener without hiring a designer

Frequently asked questions

Is the Twitter Share Card skill free?

The source lists the licence as Apache-2.0 and does not mention pricing. Check the licence file in the repository for the full terms before you use it commercially.

What do I need to use this skill?

The source lists no requirements and says the skill runs no scripts and uses no network. You need an agent environment that can load skills, such as the Claude apps or Claude Code with a skills folder.

Where do I put the card-twitter folder?

Unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or into .claude/skills/ in a project. You can also upload the ZIP under Settings → Capabilities → Skills in the Claude apps.

Does the skill produce an image file?

No. It produces a 1600×900 HTML page. You open that page and take a screenshot to create an image you can attach to a tweet.

Can I use my own brand fonts and colours?

The source says the template has its own fixed look and does not require a design system, so it is not built for exact brand fonts. Choose it for quick, consistent cards rather than strict brand matching.

How does it compare with a design tool like Canva?

The source does not compare this skill with other tools. It describes the skill as a prototype layout, not a finished brand asset generator, so it suits quick quote cards more than detailed design work.

Our verdict

Use this skill if you are a social media manager or creator who wants quick, consistent 16:9 quote or data cards for X/Twitter without a designer. Pick something else if you need exact brand fonts, a full design system, or a tool that checks facts, since this template only lays out the content you give it.
