Summary

A Codex (OpenAI) skill that transforms travel photos into collectible memory sticker cards with a specific visual language: matte gouache/cut-paper/risograph style on warm off-white paper.

What it produces

• 3:2 horizontal card on textured paper
• Left 66-68%: large unframed editorial illustration + 3 English keywords below
• Right 30-32%: exactly 6 die-cut journaling stickers (source-derived motifs)
• Matte, flat color, deliberately “clumsy” style — NOT photorealistic, NOT watercolor, NOT anime

Key design decisions

• Preserves one “identification anchor” (recognizable element) through silhouette/color, not photo fidelity
• Only retains landmark text if it genuinely locates the memory (no ads, menus, generic signs)
• First read = 3-6 oversized blunt shapes + quiet space, NOT detail
• 5-8 broad matte color families, low saturation with 1-2 accents
• Vegetation → lumpy tonal masses; buildings → planes; people → faceless silhouettes

Why it’s interesting

• Well-structured example of a “creative AI skill” with strict visual constraints
• Shows how to encode design taste into an AI generation workflow
• Quality checks built in (regenerate if result looks photographic or sticker count is wrong)
• Demonstrates the SKILL.md format for Codex agents with references directory
