Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17f1pzxf42hey94vjhyd81z1n85r39x:photoshop
  1. Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
  2. Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

description: Control Adobe Photoshop from the shell via Flue - ExtendScript bridges without an MCP server.
---
This skill lets a coding agent operate **Adobe Photoshop** on the desktop through [Flue](https://github.com/SFKislev/flue), a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes ExtendScript into `photoshop_bridge.py` and gets structured JSON back.

> agent shell -> `photoshop_bridge.py` -> ExtendScript -> JSON result

## When to use
The human requests work performed **inside Photoshop** — inspect the open document, layers, selection; make bounded edits; run small ExtendScript steps. A CLI agent cannot act inside Photoshop without a bridge like Flue.

## How to proceed
1. **Read `FLUE.md` in this directory first.** It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked ExtendScript example, and safety expectations. 
2. **If Flue is installed:** also read `C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.md` and `adapters/photoshop_adapter/APP.md` for the operational contract, then work from there.
3. **If Flue is not installed:** tell the human. The install command is `pip install flue && flue setup`. Do not install without explicit approval in the current session.

## Other apps
Flue also supports Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Audition, Blender, Houdini, 3ds Max, Unity, and Microsoft Office through the same stdin/stdout contract. One install covers all adapters.

## Safety
Flue acts inside professional desktop software. Treat the human as the driver; prefer small, inspectable steps; avoid destructive actions unless explicitly requested. Flue is MIT-licensed and reviewable on GitHub / PyPI before use.

FLUE.md

Flue is a local automation layer for coding agents that need to operate real desktop software such as Photoshop, Premiere, Blender, Unity, Houdini, Illustrator, InDesign, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and 3ds Max.

Flue is not an MCP server. It is simpler. It is a Python package that exposes small shell-facing bridge commands. Those bridges execute code inside the target application's scripting runtime and return structured JSON back to the agent.

> agent shell -> Flue bridge -> app scripting runtime -> JSON result

This file is a bootstrap entrypoint. Its job is to make you aware of the flue framework, and how to set it up. 

## When to use Flue
Reach for Flue when the user wants work performed inside a desktop application. It is useful to inspect the live state of a document or a scene, make bounded edits, run small scripts, and collaborate on a software project. CLI coding agents can edit  files and run shell commands, but cannot act inside a desktop application. Flue gives you access to software. 
Flue currently has adapters for 3DS Max, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition, Blender 3D, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Houdini, Adobe Indesign, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Powerpoint, Adobe Premiere, and Unity. More software support is in the works.

## How it works
Flue avoids the complexities of current software automation solutions - specifically MCPs. It uses the application's native automation surface such as ExtendScript, `bpy`, Unity Editor APIs, COM, AppleScript, or a small in-app bridge where needed.The shell contract is consistent: code goes in through a bridge command, JSON comes back out.
The project is open-source and reviewable on GitHub and PyPI.It ships app-specific documentation.

## Flue in technical terms
Flue is a shell-to-application bridge. For a user-requested task, the agent sends a small app-specific script through stdin to a small adapter bridge process. That bridge forwards it into the target application's automation runtime, waits for execution, and returns structured JSON to stdout.

Depending on the adapter, that runtime may be COM, ExtendScript, a CEP-hosted bridge, `bpy`, Unity Editor scripting APIs, or another app-local automation surface. Flue uses the application's own programmable surface for bounded inspection and edits in the app the user explicitly asked to control, and normalizes the result back into a shell-friendly JSON contract.

```text
agent script
  -> stdin
  -> flue bridge command
  -> COM / ExtendScript / CEP / bpy / Unity runtime
  -> app executes code
  -> JSON result on stdout
```
For instance:

```text
@'
var doc = app.documents.add(1200, 800, 72, "Flue Shapes");

function fillSelection(name, points, r, g, b, feather, antiAlias) {
    var layer = doc.artLayers.add();
    layer.name = name;
    var color = new SolidColor();
    color.rgb.red = r;
    color.rgb.green = g;
    color.rgb.blue = b;
    app.foregroundColor = color;
    doc.selection.select(point

## Description:

Control Adobe Photoshop from the shell via Flue - ExtendScript bridges without an MCP server.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[sfkislev](https://clawhub.ai/user/sfkislev)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers and creative operators use this skill when a human asks an agent to inspect Photoshop state or make bounded edits inside Adobe Photoshop through Flue's shell-facing bridge.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The skill delegates Photoshop automation to local Flue instructions and adapter code that the security evidence describes as unaudited.

Mitigation: Review Flue and installed adapter documentation before use, and run only task-specific scripts in a constrained environment.

Risk: The artifact recommends an unpinned external setup command for Flue installation.

Mitigation: Use a pinned and verified Flue install, and require explicit human approval before setup or Photoshop-changing actions.

- [Flue on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/flue)
- [ClawHub Photoshop skill page](https://clawhub.ai/sfkislev/skills/photoshop)

## Skill Output:

**Output Type(s):** [text, markdown, code, shell commands, configuration, guidance]

**Output Format:** [Markdown guidance with inline shell commands and ExtendScript examples]

**Output Parameters:** [1D]

**Other Properties Related to Output:** [When Flue is available, the skill guides an agent to send scripts through a Photoshop bridge and consume structured JSON results.]

## Skill Version(s):

1.0.0 (source: server release metadata)

## Ethical Considerations:

Users should evaluate whether this skill is appropriate for their environment, review any generated or modified files before relying on them, and apply their organization's safety, security, and compliance requirements before deployment.
