How does this skill prevent the 'broken' or reversed text common in AI-generated Arabic?

It tells the agent to reserve clean space in the generated image, then set Arabic copy as real editable type in design software. The checklist covers connected letterforms, RTL flow, and Arabic–Latin alignment. A native reader should review the final artwork.

Which AI platforms and design tools are compatible with this typography skill?

It works as guidance in any agent that can read SKILL.md. The agent can specify a clean plate for an image model and a type spec for a designer using Figma, After Effects, Premiere, Canva, or similar software. It does not edit those applications directly.

What exactly is included in the purchase of this skill?

One SKILL.md covering the never-generate-Arabic-copy rule, RTL composition, script styles, typeface families, Arabic–Latin pairing, numerals, diacritics, layout discipline and platform safe areas, plus an 8-point pre-ship checklist.

Does this skill provide automated translation or copywriting services?

No. Provide the approved Arabic copy; the skill guides its hierarchy, type style, and placement for Saudi advertising. Have a native reader proofread the final artwork.

Is there a complex installation process for this skill?

No. It's a single SKILL.md file: drop it into your agent's skills folder (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others) and ask it to spec, review or fix an Arabic layout. There's nothing to configure.

Can this skill handle different numeral systems for pricing and dates?

Yes. It explains Western and Eastern Arabic numeral choices, price placement, and left-to-right number runs inside RTL text. Pick the style that matches the brand and verify local usage rather than assuming one numeral system for every Saudi ad.

Arabic Typography for Ads

Summary

End-card type spec for OUDLY, built for a Saudi reader: the product sits on the left, Arabic leads, there's no generated type, and everything stays clear of TikTok's UI.

1. Plate (generate this, with no text)

Bottle on the left third, lit from the right. The reading path enters top-right and ends on the bottle.
Leave the right 55% of the upper half empty for type, on a smooth gradient with no texture behind the letters.
Keep the wordmark on the bottle itself: it's diegetic, so it

is generated, then checked letter by letter against the real bottle.

2. Type spec

Element	Text	Face / weight	Size (1080×1920)	Position
Headline	عطرك يحكي عنك	Noto Kufi Arabic Bold (a modern Kufic register suits a design-forward oud brand)	112 px, 1 line	Top-right, flush right
Price	249 ر.س	IBM Plex Sans Arabic Medium, Western numerals	72 px	Under the headline, flush right
CTA	اطلبه الحين ←	IBM Plex Sans Arabic SemiBold, in a pill	56 px	Right side, above the caption zone
Brand	OUDLY	Plex Sans Latin, matched cut	40 px, quieter than the Arabic	Bottom-left, near the bottle

3. Rules for the designer

Never letterspace the Arabic. Tracking breaks the connected letterforms.
Keep tashkeel off for this commercial register.
The CTA arrow points left (←). A right-pointing arrow is backwards in RTL.
Numerals: Western digits, with ر.س after the figure, the same on every frame of the campaign.
Set the Arabic about 10–15% larger than the Latin so they feel equal in weight. Arabic stays primary.
Safe area: keep everything out of TikTok's right rail and the bottom caption zone (roughly the bottom 20%).

4. Pre-ship checklist

No model-generated Arabic in the frame
Joins and contextual forms checked by an Arabic reader
Reading path runs right-to-left and ends on the bottle
Arabic visually primary over OUDLY
Fonts and weights recorded in the edit sheet (both are free for commercial use; confirm the licence)

Next steps

Generate the plate from section 1, set the type in Figma or After Effects using this spec, then run the checklist.

About this skill

Use this skill when an ad needs Arabic text that looks intentional on screen. It helps you reserve clean space in generated frames, choose a suitable script and hierarchy, pair Arabic with Latin text, set numerals and line breaks, and check the actual reading path in a vertical layout.

You receive a type specification with exact strings, font choices, placement, safe areas and a clean-plate handoff. On-screen copy stays editable in post, and a native Arabic reader checks the final export.

Useful for video ads, end cards, thumbnails and social graphics. You supply the approved Arabic copy and brand assets.
