A design-craft skill — design the pin's concept + composition + overlay, produce the brief, and plan the fresh-pin variants. The agent designs + briefs + critiques; a human or image tool makes the raster; WoopSocial publishes the finished pin (image + title + description + board + link).

The POV: a search result, not a post — designed to be found, saved, and clicked

A pin is a search result in a two-column mobile feed, competing at roughly half a phone screen wide (~236px in the desktop grid). Its job is the save and the outbound click, and it keeps doing that job for months (~4-month lifespan) — so a pin is an asset, not a post. Two rules anchor everything: the visual and the keyword are one unit (this skill owns the visual; pinterest-seo owns the keyword — the keyword goes in the overlay AND the title), and fresh beats frequent reposting — a "fresh pin" is a new image/layout/overlay for the same URL, not a repin, and fresh designs drive ~90% of Pinterest website traffic. Design mobile-first at feed size, always in 2:3 (1000×1500) — other ratios are penalized.
