Skills it gets confused with
These share a family with Slack GIF Creator, which is another way of saying they are the ones you might reach for by mistake.
- Algorithmic ArtArt that is generated rather than drawn: flow fields, particle systems, seeded randomness you can re-roll and tune. Code is the medium.
- Brand GuidelinesApplies Anthropic's own brand colours and type to an artifact. Only right when the thing genuinely should look like Anthropic made it.
- Canvas DesignStill visual art delivered as a .png or print-ready .pdf: a poster, a flyer, a one-page piece meant to be looked at rather than clicked.
- Claude APIBuilding something that calls Claude: model ids, pricing, streaming, tool use, prompt caching, token counting. Reach for it before guessing an API detail from memory.
- Frontend DesignDeciding how a UI should look and feel before you build it: typography, colour, hierarchy, and escaping the default templated appearance.
- MCP BuilderBuild an MCP server so Claude can reach an outside service or API through tools you designed. The plumbing between Claude and someone else's system.
Knowing what Slack GIF Creator does is the easy half. Telling it apart from the others under time pressure is the game.
