+# Canvas Skill
+
+Display HTML content on connected Clawdbot nodes (Mac app, iOS, Android).
+
+## Overview
+
+The canvas tool lets you present web content on any connected node's canvas view. Great for:
+- Displaying games, visualizations, dashboards
+- Showing generated HTML content
+- Interactive demos
+
+## Actions
+
+| Action | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `present` | Show the canvas with optional URL |
+| `hide` | Hide the canvas |
+| `navigate` | Navigate to a new URL |
+| `eval` | Execute JavaScript in the canvas |
+| `snapshot` | Capture screenshot of canvas |
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Create HTML content
+
+Place HTML files in the canvas directory (configured in `canvasHost.root`, typically `~/clawd/canvas/`):
+
+```bash
+# Write your HTML file
+cat > ~/clawd/canvas/my-game.html << 'HTML'
+
+
+My Game
+
+ Hello Canvas!
+
+
+HTML
+```
+
+### 2. Find a connected node
+
+List available nodes:
+```bash
+clawdbot nodes list
+```
+
+Look for nodes with canvas capability (Mac/iOS/Android apps).
+
+### 3. Present the content
+
+```
+canvas action:present node: target:
+```
+
+**Important:** The canvas host server binds to the Tailscale hostname, not localhost!
+
+**Correct URL format:**
+```
+http://:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/.html
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```
+canvas action:present node:mac-63599bc4-b54d-4392-9048-b97abd58343a target:http://peters-mac-studio-1.sheep-coho.ts.net:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/snake.html
+```
+
+### 4. Navigate to different content
+
+```
+canvas action:navigate node: url:
+```
+
+### 5. Take a screenshot
+
+```
+canvas action:snapshot node:
+```
+
+### 6. Hide when done
+
+```
+canvas action:hide node:
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+In `~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+ "canvasHost": {
+ "enabled": true,
+ "port": 18793,
+ "root": "/Users/you/clawd/canvas"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### White screen / content not loading
+
+**Problem:** Canvas shows white/blank screen.
+
+**Solution:** The canvas host server binds to Tailscale hostname. Use the full URL:
+```
+http://:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/.html
+```
+
+NOT:
+```
+http://127.0.0.1:18793/... ❌
+http://localhost:18793/... ❌
+```
+
+### "node required" error
+
+**Solution:** Always specify the `node` parameter with a valid node ID from `clawdbot nodes list`.
+
+### "node not connected" error
+
+**Solution:** The specified node is offline. Choose a different node that's currently connected.
+
+### A2UI formats not working
+
+A2UI JSON push formats are WIP. Use HTML files instead.
+
+## Tips
+
+- Keep HTML self-contained (inline CSS/JS) for best results
+- Test your HTML locally first before presenting
+- Use `snapshot` to capture what the canvas is showing
+- The canvas persists until you `hide` it or navigate away
+
+## Example: Quick Game Display
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create game HTML
+cat > ~/clawd/canvas/game.html << 'HTML'
+
+
+
+ Quick Game
+
+
+
+ 🎮 Game Time!
+
+
+HTML
+
+# 2. Present it (replace with your node ID and hostname)
+canvas action:present node:mac-xxx target:http://your-hostname:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/game.html
+```
