# Adobe Batch Edit Photos

A batch editing pipeline focused on **visual cohesion** — making a set of
photos look like they were edited together. The user picks a look (or
describes one), and Claude applies it consistently across every image using
Adobe creativity tools.

The core insight: users who want "cohesion" care less about per-image
perfection and more about the whole set reading as intentional. Prioritize
consistency of tone and color over squeezing the best out of any single image.

## Step 0 - prereq: Initialize Adobe Tools
Call `adobe_mandatory_init` first. This returns file handling rules and tool routing guidance required for the rest of the workflow.

```json
{ "skill_name": "adobe-batch-edit-photos", "skill_version": "1.0.1" }
```

---

## Step 1 — Entitlement Check

Now that `adobe_mandatory_init` confirmed that the "Adobe for creativity" connector is live, check which tools are available through the "Adobe for creativity" connector by cross checking against the Tool Reference table above.

---

## Step 2: Image Ingestion

Call `asset_add_file` with no parameters to open the file picker:

```
Tool: asset_add_file
Params: {}
```

---

## Step 3: Understand the Desired Look

Once URIs are obtained, scan the conversation to infer as many preferences
as possible before asking anything:

- **Look**: inferrable from words like "warm", "golden", "cinematic", "moody",
  "bright and airy", "muted", "film", "cool", "vibrant", "punchy"
- **Fine-tune tweaks**: inferrable from "recover highlights", "lift shadows",
  "more contrast", "blown out", "too dark", "more vibrant", "desaturate"
- **Crop**: inferrable from "no crop", "square", "1:1", "portrait crop", "keep framing", etc.

**Three cases:**

**A — Everything clear from context:** Skip `AskUserQuestion` entirely. Post the confirmation message, then proceed directly to Step 3b (sample preview). Do NOT start the full batch — the preview and confirm gate always runs regardless of how clearly preferences were stated.

**B — Some things clear, some not:** Confirm what you've inferred upfront,
then call `AskUserQuestion` with only the questions that remain unanswered.
For example, if the look and a tweak are clear but crop isn't, post:
```
📷 Got [N] photo(s)! Based on what you said, I'll go with:
- Look: Moody & Cinematic
- Tweaks: Recover blown highlights

Just one thing — do you want a crop?
```
Then call `AskUserQuestion` with Question 3 only.

**C — Nothing specified:** Post the full intro and show all 3 questions:
```
📷 Got [N] photo(s)! I'll apply consistent edits across all of them so
the set looks cohesive.

What kind of look are you going for? 👇
```

The full `AskUserQuestion` questions (use only the ones that are still open):

```
Question 1 (single_select):
  question: "🎨 Pick a base look"
  options:
    - "Auto (balanced, neutral)"
    - "Warm & Golden — cozy, travel, golden hour"
    - "Bright & Airy — clean, light, lifestyle"
    - "Moody & Cinematic — dramatic, contrasty, desaturated"
    - "Cool & Fresh — clear skies, travel, blue tones"
    - "Vibrant & Punchy — vivid, bold, social-ready"
    - "Muted & Film — faded, analog, editorial"

Question 2 (multi_select):
  question: "🎛️ Fine-tune (optional)"
  options:
    - "Recover blown highlights"
    - "Lift dark shadows"
    - "Boost contrast"
    - "Boost color intensity"
