Purpose

A one-glance orientation to the Adobe for creativity connector: how the flow works, what's available, and a concrete example prompt for each capability so the user can just try one. This skill is informational only — it never edits, generates, or exports anything itself.

Render, in order

1. How it works — step card

Call step_card_display_v0 with view: "list" (list lets the user scan all three at once) and this content, adjusted only if the account is already connected (drop step 1 in that case) or permissions are already set to Always allow (drop step 2):

1. Sign in to your Adobe account — The plugin's installed, but it still needs your Adobe login to read and edit your files. Go to Customize > Connectors, find Adobe for creativity, and select Connect to sign in.
2. Allow Adobe tools — Under Customize > Connectors, open Adobe for creativity and set each tool to Always allow. On Team or Enterprise plans, you can update them all at once from the connector-level dropdown. This prevents approval prompts from interrupting your work.
3. Add your files through the Adobe file picker — When you ask for something like "make me a flyer," a file picker will pop up — use it to upload your images or documents instead of dragging them into the chat. This makes sure Adobe can actually read and edit them.
4. Choose what to create — Browse the tiles below and pick what inspires you. Try the example prompt as-is or make it your own.

Text-only fallback (only if step_card_display_v0 is unavailable) — render the same content as a plain numbered markdown list: bold the step title, then its description on the same line or immediately after. Apply the same drop-step-1/drop-step-2 logic based on connection and permission state.

2. What's available — capability grid

Call visualize:read_me with modules: ["mockup"], then visualize:show_widget with a responsive card grid (repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr))), one card per capability below. Follow the design-system rules from read_me (flat surfaces, CSS variables, sentence case, no gradients), with this Adobe-branded, premium treatment:

• Icon stays neutral (var(--text-secondary)), not red. Repeating the brand red on every element reads busy, not premium.
• Adobe's red (#FA0F00) appears exactly once per card, as a short 2px accent rule (~28px wide) directly under the capability name — a quiet signature, not a highlight color.
• Capability name: 15px/500, var(--text-primary).
• Description: 13px, var(--text-secondary).
• Example prompt: rendered as a quote in font-family: var(--font-voice) italic, var(--text-secondary) — this is the "editorial moment" the design system reserves the serif for, and it reads calmer than bold sans quotes.
• Skill name: relabeled as an optional shortcut, not a mystery tag — prefix with "Or type:" in var(--text-muted), no background pill. Only the slug itself is colored: <span style="color: #FA0F00; font-family: var(--font-mono); font-size: 11px;">/adobe-design-from-template</span> — Adobe's exact accent red, matching the rule under the title, applied only to the command text so it stands out without adding a chip. In dark mode the same hex still reads fine against dark surfaces; no swap needed. This is the one exception to "skill name stays neutral" above — the slug earns color because it's now a clickable/typeable affordance, not a label.
• Powered-by line: smallest text, var(--text-muted).
• Generous padding (1.25rem 1.5rem+) and avoid stacking too many small text lines tightly — whitespace is what makes it feel premium, not more color.

Keep this table as the source of truth — update it if the underlying adobe-for-creativity skills change:

Text-only fallback (only if visualize:read_me/visualize:show_widget are unavailable) — skip both visualize calls and render the same table as a plain markdown list, one entry per capability, in this order: bold capability name; the description on the next line; the example prompt as an italic quote; then the skill slug as inline code with "— powered by <Powered by>" after it, e.g. `/adobe-design-from-template` — powered by Adobe Express. Drop the icon and the red accent rule — there's no styling to carry over in plain text.

3. Close with a nudge, in prose (not a tool)

One short sentence inviting the user to just try one of the example prompts verbatim. Don't restate the grid content — the cards already show it.

Tool Reference

Ground rules

• This skill only renders the tour. Never call adobe_mandatory_init or any other Adobe tool while onboarding — those fire only once the user actually asks for a workflow.
• If the user's next message is a real request (not a question about the tour), hand off to the matching adobe-for-creativity skill/tool rather than re-showing the grid.
• Try each widget tool first. Only drop to its text-only fallback when the tool call is genuinely unavailable in the current environment (e.g. absent from the tool list) — not merely because a call failed once.
• Keep card copy to one line each; put any nuance in your own prose outside the tool calls, not inside the widget.
• If a capability in the table above no longer matches what's installed, drop or update that row rather than describing a tool that isn't actually available.
