What this skill does
Given a URL, this skill generates:
- a QR code that encodes the URL
- optional captions (human-readable URL or short label)
- exports in PNG and/or SVG
- optional batch runs from a CSV
Guardrails
- Don’t generate QR codes for suspicious links (phishing, credential prompts, malware). If unsure, ask for confirmation or suggest a safer destination page.
- Prefer HTTPS URLs.
- If the QR is for print, prefer SVG (scales cleanly) and high error correction.
Inputs
Required:
- URL
Optional:
- label/caption text (e.g., “Scan to book a call”)
- whether to show the URL under the QR (yes/no)
- output formats: PNG, SVG
- UTM params (source, medium, campaign, content, term)
- size intent: screen / print / sticker
Workflow
- Validate the URL (scheme + domain).
- Optionally append UTM parameters (using
assets/templates/utm_template.json). - Generate QR:
- Error correction: M (default), H for print/complex usage
- Border: 4 (default)
- Export:
- PNG (good for web)
- SVG (best for print)
- If caption enabled:
- PNG: add label and/or URL under the QR
- SVG: add a text element under the QR
- Return links + a quick “usage notes” block (recommended minimum size, print tips).
Output format (required)
- Encoded URL (final URL after UTM, if used)
- Files generated (with links)
- Recommendations (error correction, min size, when to use SVG vs PNG)
