What Field Notes Editorial Template does
The Field Notes Editorial Template is designed for professionals who need to produce visually appealing and structured data reports. This skill provides a premium magazine-style layout that incorporates a soft paper background, serif typography for headlines, and clean sans-serif fonts for body text. The template includes rounded pastel insight cards and a retention chart panel, making it suitable for business reports, board memos, or any elegant data storytelling needs.
To use the template, you start by reading the active DESIGN.md file to map your color palette and typography to CSS variables. The core of the template is found in assets/template.html, which you will copy to create your working document. The design emphasizes a paper-like aesthetic with subtle vignettes, ensuring that the final output is not only functional but also visually engaging.
The skill also focuses on lightweight interactions that enhance user experience without overwhelming the presentation. Features include a page view switcher for different metrics and insights, along with animations for key metrics that count up and chart lines that reveal dynamically. This makes the reports not just informative but also engaging for the audience.
Before finalizing your report, the skill encourages validation against a provided checklist in references/checklist.md. This ensures that all necessary elements are included and that the report meets quality standards.
