## What it does

The skill accepts an uploaded logo or rough draft, applying it to items like mugs and apparel. Visuals are produced with Adobe Firefly using `image_generate`. Instead of translating your logo into text prompts, the skill feeds the file directly as a `referenceImage` to preserve artwork shapes. When no design exists, it offers to generate one from scratch.

Workflow progression is checkpointed. It begins with `adobe_mandatory_init` for file routing rules, asks about desired merchandise, and renders a single pilot mockup. Once you approve the scene aesthetic, the agent generates up to 5 mockups per turn. Final images are bundled onto a Firefly Board via `boards_create_new_board` and `boards_add_items_to_board`, returning a shareable URL.

Active Adobe account login is mandatory for execution. When passing `referenceImage` to `image_generate`, you cannot supply `aspectRatio` or `size` flags; scene composition must be handled inside the prompt text.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill adobe-create-mockups -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/adobe-create-mockups/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill adobe-create-mockups -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/adobe-create-mockups/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/adobe-create-mockups/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/adobe-create-mockups/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins adobe-create-mockups
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/adobe-create-mockups/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/adobe/skills/adobe-create-mockups
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/adobe-create-mockups/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/adobe/skills/adobe-create-mockups/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- visualize sketches or logos on apparel and coffee cups
- generate branding assets from scratch before rendering product scenes
- approve visual direction on a single pilot mockup before batch generation
- save rendered mockup suites directly to a shareable Firefly Board

## Example prompts
- Create mockups showing my logo from logo.png on a hoodie and a coffee cup.
- Polish this rough sketch and preview it on a phone screen and business card.
- Help me design a tech logo from scratch and show it on laptop stickers.

# Create Mockups

Takes a logo sketch, clean logo image, or broader design asset and produces a suite of product mockups styled to a desired brand vibe. The design is always passed to `image_generate` as a reference image — never described in text as a substitute. Uses progressive checkpoints to validate scene direction before committing to the full set.

## Tool Reference

| Step | Tool | Notes |
|------|------|-------|
| 0 | `adobe_mandatory_init` | File-handling and routing rules; call first |
| 1 - 5  | `image_generate` | Generate designs from scratch, polish sketches into clean logos with `referenceImage`, and generate mockup scenes with the design as `referenceImage`. See **`image_generate` Call Rules** below. |
| 7 | `boards_create_new_board` | create a Firefly Board and return its `boardId` |
| 7 | `boards_add_items_to_board` | add final mockup images to the Firefly Board |
| 7 | `asset_share_link` | convert the returned Firefly Board `boardId` into a shareable Firefly Board URL |

### `image_generate` Call Rules

- Pass all generation settings inside `options`.
- Use `options.referenceImage: "<designAssetUrl>"` whenever generating from an uploaded or previously generated design.
- Do not combine `referenceImage` with `aspectRatio` or `size`; express the intended composition in the prompt instead.
- Use `outputFileType: "png"` unless the user explicitly requests JPEG.

## High-Level Pipeline

1. **Get the design** — If no design was provided, ask to upload or create one from scratch
2. **Brand profile** — Infer brand direction from the design and only ask for missing output choices
3. **Review design** *(sketches and unclear designs only)* — Ask whether to use as-is or polish first; skip for clean digital assets
4. **Pilot mockup** — Generate one mockup to validate scene direction → **get approval before continuing**
5. **Generate remaining mockups** — Complete the full set (max 5 per turn)
6. **Deliver** — Display all mockups inline with iteration options
7. **Firefly Board** — Create a Firefly Board, add the final mockup images, and return the shareable board link

## Workflow

### Step 0: Initialize Adobe Tools

Call `adobe_mandatory_init` first. This returns file handling rules and tool routing guidance required for the rest of the workflow.
