# adobe-create-social-variations Turns one image or video into platform-ready social media assets: crops, expands the canvas, exports at the right ratios. Useful when a single source has to cover several networks. - skill · `type=skill` · Codex, ChatGPT · ★ 7596 - Author: Adobe Inc · official OpenAI repository - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/adobe/skills/adobe-create-social-variations/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-08 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/adobe-create-social-variations ## What it does The skill takes one file and produces a set of assets for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, Pinterest, Threads or X/Twitter. Cropping follows the subject, so it stays in frame as the aspect ratio changes. Images that need extra room get AI canvas expansion. Before a full run it shows three test crops. Framing problems surface early, and those same crops are reused in the final output. Video gets same-ratio resizing only — no smart reframe there. Everything runs through the "Adobe for creativity" connector, and nothing works without it: if the connector is missing the core image tools, the skill asks you to reconnect and sign in with an Adobe account. On surfaces without widgets, such as Claude, files are staged with a two-step upload instead of the file picker. Raw local paths never go straight into the image or video tools. ## Requirements - Works with: LinkedIn ## Install ### Codex (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add openai/plugins --skill adobe-create-social-variations -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/adobe-create-social-variations/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Claude Code 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add openai/plugins --skill adobe-create-social-variations -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/adobe-create-social-variations/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/adobe-create-social-variations/ ### Cursor **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/adobe-create-social-variations/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install openai/plugins adobe-create-social-variations ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/adobe-create-social-variations/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/adobe/skills/adobe-create-social-variations ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/adobe-create-social-variations/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-social-variations/SKILL.md ## When to use it - build a multi-platform set from a single photo - crop an image for vertical stories - expand the canvas when the subject does not fit the target ratio - check framing on test crops before committing to a full run - shrink a video for a platform without changing its ratio ## Example prompts - prepare this photo for Instagram and TikTok - make versions of this image for all platforms - crop this image for stories ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

Uses AI canvas expansion and subject-aware cropping to keep the subject in focus across all aspect ratios. Shows a lightweight 3-crop preview before a full-set run so framing issues are caught early — those crops are then reused in the final output. > **Surface note:** The default flow below uses Adobe's MCP App widgets — the `asset_add_file` file picker and the `asset_preview_file` preview. Follow it as written. Only if a widget tool is **not available on this surface** (e.g. Codex) use the *No-widget fallback* attached to that step. Likewise, present `AskUserQuestion` prompts as plain-text labeled options wherever no question widget exists. --- ## Supported Input Types | Input | Supported | Notes | | ----------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | JPG / PNG | ✅ Full workflow | | | Firefly-generated image | ✅ Full workflow | For `.ffgenimg` assets, pass the `presignedRenditionUrl` field, not `presignedAssetUrl` | | Express file | ⚠️ Partial | Must be exported to JPG/PNG first — tell user before proceeding | ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 3e19ad00a49641b0 The third-party file has ended.
