Editorial magazine op-ed cover illustration — flat-vector + paper-grain scene with elongated ink-line characters, a muted retro palette, and a serif headline overlay block in the lower-right corner. Trigger when the user says /op-ed-cover, asks for an "editorial magazine illustration", an "op-ed cover", a "magazine essay illustration", or a scene with a headline overlay in this style.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /op-ed-cover — locked editorial magazine cover style
This skill produces a single editorial illustration laid out like a page from a print magazine essay: a flat-vector scene with paper-grain texture, expressive elongated ink-line characters, a muted retro palette, and a **serif headline block in the lower-right corner** that frames the scene as a witty opinion piece.
The whole point is the **editorial tension** between the picture and the headline — the picture sets a moment, the headline gives it a contrarian or knowing voice. Headlines should sound like they came from the back pages of a New Yorker / Monocle / Time-Out essay column.
## Prompt interpretation
The user will give a short brief, usually some combination of:
- a **scene metaphor** (e.g. "Tokyo ramen master", "London tube commute", "Italian barista")
- a **palette direction** (e.g. "mustard + forest green", "dusty rose + ink navy")
- a **complexity level** (L1 single hero / L2 small ensemble / L3 busy crowd)
- optionally, a **headline** or a **headline voice** ("declarative", "punning", "appreciative")

How to install
mdr add vm0-ai/vm0-skills/op-ed-cover@sha256:49c435337adc12bfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.8f5da28, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
