Editorial Sketchnote (magazine-style concept card)

Turns a single concept into a magazine-style feature: real problem → failed attempts → turning point → insight → naming, rendered as one long vertical HTML page.

Design & UIIntermediate★ 8,978⑂ 869AI score 7/10Last updated: Sep 15, 2026

What it does

  • Rebuilds a concept as a six-station narrative: opening problem, failure 1, failure 2, turn, insight, naming.
  • Forces a different layout per station (.feature, .note, .archive, .cross, .hero, .closing) so the page breathes: open → tight → tight → explosive → open → still.
  • Requires four type families at once (Serif, Sans, Mono, handwriting), a palette of at most four key colors, and bans pure #000.
  • Outputs a single HTML file (inline CSS, Google Fonts CDN, no JavaScript, 1080px wide, auto height) complete with kickers, drop caps, a "Failed" stamp, red-pen scribbles, pull-quotes and a byline.
  • Ends with a 6-point self-check: the headline must not spoil the concept name, at least one failure must appear, section rhythm must not be uniform.

Who it's for

  • Educators and science communicators who want visual concept explainers.
  • Newsletter or blog writers who need infographic-quality pages generated as code.
  • Anyone tired of flat AI-generated cards who wants real editorial styling.

Examples

  1. "Make a sketchnote on the history of 'emergence'" → reductionism fails, then Anderson 1972 lands in the closing panel.
  2. "Explain compound interest with this template" → wrong mental models struck through in red, a 200px Serif blow-up at the turn.
  3. "Concept card for the second law of thermodynamics" → large SVG hero with a pull-quote; the name only appears at the very end.

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the next/src/lib/templates/skills/article-sketchnote-editorial folder from the GitHub repo nexu-io/html-anything into my ~/.claude/skills/article-sketchnote-editorial/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/nexu-io/html-anything.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r html-anything/next/src/lib/templates/skills/article-sketchnote-editorial ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
