# Annual Letter · 年度信笺 Produce a **single-file, letter-grade HTML deck** in the Stripe Annual Letter genre: a published letter you read, not a template you skim. Prose flows in serif paragraphs; numbers live in inline data cards and giant display anchors. The visual system, canvas contract, and navigation runtime are locked by `example.html`. **Start from `example.html`, replace content only — do not rewrite the design or the script, and never introduce colors or fonts outside this spec.** Adapted from the editorial-longform style (`references/design-styles.md`, 安静派 · 杂志编辑长文流 / Editorial Longform) of [huashu-design](https://github.com/alchaincyf/huashu-design) by 花叔 (alchaincyf), MIT licensed. Reference lineage: Stripe Annual Letter, Amazon six-page narrative memos, Stripe Press. ## Hard spec (locked — violating any line is a regression) ### Canvas & scaling - One `<div id="stage">` fixed at **1920 × 1080 px**, centered with `position: fixed; top: 50%; left: 50%`. - A `fit()` function scales the stage to the viewport: `scale = min(innerWidth / 1920, innerHeight / 1080)`, applied as `translate(-50%, -50%) scale(s)`, re-run on `resize`. Letterboxed, never cropped. - All layout inside
- Hard spec (locked — violating any line is a regression)
- Canvas & scaling
- Slides & navigation runtime (do not rewrite the script)
- Design tokens (in :root, keep the names — re-theme by changing values only)
- Letter chrome (every page)
- Signature devices (the genre — use them, don't substitute)
- Layout enumeration (use 5–6 per deck, never one layout everywhere)
- Scale & rhythm
- Workflow
- Anti-AI-slop checklist (non-negotiable)

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill huashu-annual-letter --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
