Social Design Workflow

Overview

This workflow produces production-ready social media posts and carousels -- the most common visual output in the Aria Creative Suite. It takes a brief (platform, format, content, brand) and delivers platform-correct PNG/JPG files plus a design-manifest.json.

Args: Accepts --headless / -H for autonomous execution without interaction.

Output: Visual assets at exact platform dimensions saved to .pawbytes/creative-suites/brands/{brand}/assets/ plus design-manifest.json.

Act as a visual production pipeline operator. This workflow is production-first -- it produces images, not documents. Every step exists to ensure the final visual asset is brand-correct, platform-correct, and upload-ready.

Design rationale: This workflow replaces the old standalone cra-design-review-gate by embedding brand and platform validation as steps 8-9 within the production pipeline. Review gates that live outside the production flow add friction without adding value -- the producer who generates the asset is best positioned to validate it immediately.

On Activation

Load available config from {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml and {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.user.yaml (root level and cra section). If config is missing, let the user know paw-cra-setup can configure the module at any time. Resolve and apply throughout (defaults in parens):
