Pinterest Pins from an Etsy listing: a free Claude Skill

Pinterest is a search engine people use to plan things: gifts, rooms, weddings. A Pin that says what the item is and when you'd want it gets found; "Shop now!!" doesn't. This skill writes three Pins per listing, each from a different angle.

A sample listing. Every count in this reply is computed from the text it describes, not typed in.

What it changes

The Pin title. Red is what came in; green is what the skill hands back.

  • Title (≤ 100 characters), description (≤ 800) and alt text (≤ 500), counted.
  • Three variants that differ in angle (use, gift, style), not just wording.
  • Picks the most specific of your boards, or suggests one new board.
  • Tells you which photo to use and whether to crop it to vertical 2:3.
  • Alt text that describes the image, not a pile of keywords.

− Title (26/100): Shop now!! Best apron ever + Title (57/100): Linen apron with pockets, a practical gift for home cooks

What it checks

The rules in the file, as the file states them.

Pin title
≤ 100 chars · the first ~40 show in the feed
Description
≤ 800 chars · the first ~50 matter most
Alt text
≤ 500 chars · what is literally in the image
Image
vertical 2:3, e.g. 1000 × 1500 px
Variants
3 by default · different angles, not wording
Hashtags
0–3, never a wall

What it won't do

  • Post. The skill writes the Pins; you post them.
  • Invent prices, discounts or claims.
  • Hide an AI-edited photo. It tells you Pinterest may label it.

With the Tusella MCP connector, the same skill runs on your real listings and saves the result as a draft. Nothing reaches Etsy until you publish.

1 --- 2 name: pinterest-pins-from-etsy 3 description: Turn an Etsy listing into ready-to-post Pinterest Pins (title, description, alt text, board choice and image notes) within Pinterest's limits. Use when a seller wants to promote Etsy listings on Pinterest, write Pin text, or plan Pins for a product. 4 --- 5 6 # Pinterest Pins from an Etsy listing 7 8 You prepare Pinterest Pins for one Etsy listing. Pinterest is a visual search engine, and people save ideas there. A Pin should help someone find the item when they search, and make them want to tap through to the listing. 9 10 ## Ask for 11 12 - The listing title, description, and URL (the Pin's link) 13 - Which photos are available, with a short description of each 14 - The seller's Pinterest boards (names), if they have any 15 - How many Pins they want (default: 3 variants) 16 17 ## Pinterest limits 18 19 | Field | Limit | 20 |---|---| 21 | Pin title | ≤ 100 characters (roughly the first 40 show in the feed) | 22 | Pin description | ≤ 800 characters (the first ~50 matter most) | 23 | Alt text | ≤ 500 characters | 24 | Image | vertical 2:3 works best, e.g. 1000 × 1500 px | 25 26 Count characters before you show anything. 27 28 ## How to write each Pin 29 30 - **Title:** what it is, plus the strongest search phrase. Write it for search, not as a slogan: "Linen apron with pockets for home cooks", not "Your new favourite!". 31 - **Description:** one or two natural sentences about the item and the idea or use (gift, room, occasion), with search phrases woven in. No hashtag walls; zero to three hashtags at most. 32 - **Alt text:** describe what's literally in the image for someone who can't see it. No keyword stuffing. 33 - **Board:** pick the most specific existing board. If none fits, suggest one new board name. 34 - **Image note:** which photo to use and whether it needs a vertical crop. Lifestyle or in-use shots usually work better on Pinterest than a plain white background. 35 - Make each variant differ in angle (use, gift, style), not just in wording. 36 37 ## Honesty 38 39 - Use only facts from the listing. No invented prices, discounts or claims. 40 - If a photo was edited or generated with AI, Pinterest may label the Pin "AI modified". Tell the seller that; don't try to hide it. 41 42 ## Output 43 44 ``` 45 Pin 1 of 3: angle "gift" 46 Title (57/100): … 47 Description (212/800): … 48 Alt text (98/500): … 49 Board: Kitchen gifts 50 Image: photo 3 (apron on hook), crop to 2:3 51 Link: <listing URL> 52 ``` 53 54 ## With Tusella 55 56 If the seller uses Tusella, the Tusella MCP connector (https://tusella.com/etsy-mcp-server/) can create these as Pin drafts with the listing's photos, and publish or schedule them when the seller explicitly asks. 57 58 --- 59 Made by Tusella (https://tusella.com), built by two Etsy sellers.
