Photoshop API Composition

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: cloud-platforms  ·  Last updated:
cloud:flytype:integration
Build complex multi-layer compositions with the Adobe Photoshop API — the multi-stage orchestration pattern (a typical state machine has 15-20 functions), layer ordering and blending, multi-template assembly, output rendering at multiple aspect ratios from one composition, and the integration pattern that feeds Firefly-generated content into a PSD pipeline. Use whenever the user needs more than simple smart-object replacement — combining Firefly outputs with template PSDs, chaining multiple Photoshop operations, building campaign assemblers, or orchestrating end-to-end pipelines that produce final renderable assets. Encodes the production state-machine pattern used in enterprise generative campaign pipelines.

From the source SKILL.md

The orchestration pattern for production-grade campaign assembly. When the asset pipeline involves Firefly-generated content + template PSDs + multiple stages of editing + multiple output aspect ratios, you need a stateful workflow engine that coordinates many Photoshop API + Firefly calls in the right order.

What this skill does

Photoshop API Composition is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the cloud-platforms sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/photoshop-api-composition/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever the user needs more than simple smart-object replacement — combining Firefly outputs with template PSDs, chaining multiple Photoshop operations, building campaign assemblers, or orchestrating end-to-end pipelines that produce final renderable assets. Encodes the production state-machine pattern used in enterprise generative campaign pipelines.

Who uses this skill

The Photoshop API Composition Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 183,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
