Does it modify my original images?

No, it only reads images to analyze their composition and writes layout suggestions to a JSON file in a temporary directory.

How does this skill decide which layout to use?

It evaluates images based on the 'Thing Itself,' 'Detail,' 'Frame,' 'Time,' and 'Vantage Point,' typically preferring single-image layouts (80%+) to maintain a high-end, gallery-style aesthetic.

Why does it use isolated output files?

This design allows multiple batches of images to be processed simultaneously in parallel, significantly speeding up the curation process for large photo collections.

What is visual weight tracking?

It is a system that ensures the gallery rhythm isn't overwhelming by preventing consecutive 'high-weight' blocks (like FullBleed) from appearing without 'low-weight' or 'rest' blocks in between.

Design Tools

Reviews image batches to generate aesthetic gallery layout suggestions based on classic photography principles.

About

This skill automates the curation process for photo galleries by applying Szarkowski's Five Characteristics to analyze individual images. It identifies hero shots, recommends specific layout components like FullBleed or OffsetImage, and maintains visual rhythm by tracking visual weight across the sequence. Designed for high-performance parallel execution, it outputs structured JSON layout blocks to isolated batch files, ensuring a professional and balanced gallery design while reducing the manual effort of sequencing large image sets.
