## What it does

The skill guides your agent through creating ImageKit AI Tasks configurations. Each setup includes 1 to 10 visual sub-tasks targeting images or videos. The agent frames natural-language prompts tied to one of three action types: `select_tags`, `select_metadata`, or `yes_no`.

Analysis relies on controlled vocabularies of 1 to 30 approved terms. For `select_tags`, total vocabulary length cannot exceed 500 characters, and tag values must never contain the `%` sign. Binary `yes_no` checks require at least one action under `on_yes` or `on_no`. For `select_metadata`, your target field must already exist in DAM or the update fails immediately.

Deploying these tasks happens through several ImageKit workflows. You can pass them through the DAM MCP server at `https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam`, attach them to upload API calls, or enforce them via folder path policies.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill ai-tasks -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill ai-tasks -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill ai-tasks -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install imagekit-developer/skills ai-tasks
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/ai-tasks/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill ai-tasks -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/imagekit-developer/skills --path skills/ai-tasks
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill ai-tasks -a opencode
```

### 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/imagekit-developer/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/ai-tasks/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate controlled product tags from fixed value lists
- run automated binary quality checks on framing before publishing assets
- map visual colors directly into ImageKit custom metadata fields
- build upload extension payloads for the ImageKit DAM MCP server

## Example prompts
- Create an `ai-tasks` configuration for fashion items to detect collar type from an approved list.
- Build a `yes_no` quality check that assigns `needs_reshot` when the product is not fully visible.
- Write an ImageKit upload extension JSON with `select_metadata` for the `primary_color` field.

# AI Tasks Skill

## When to use
- User wants to tag images with business-specific categories
- User needs controlled vocabularies (predefined value lists)
- User wants yes/no quality checks on images
- User needs to extract metadata using natural language analysis

## AI Task Structure

Each AI Task contains **1-10 sub-tasks** with:

1. **Instruction** (required): Natural language question about the image
2. **Action Type** (required): `select_tags`, `select_metadata`, or `yes_no`
3. **Vocabulary** (optional): 1-30 predefined approved values

## Action Types

### select_tags
Adds tags from vocabulary. Supports multiple selections.
```json
{
  "type": "select_tags",
  "instruction": "What body style is this vehicle?",
  "vocabulary": ["sedan", "suv", "hatchback"],
  "max_selections": 1
}
```

### select_metadata
Sets custom metadata field (field must exist in DAM).
```json
{
  "type": "select_metadata",
  "instruction": "What is the primary color?",
  "field": "primary_color",
  "vocabulary": ["red", "blue", "white", "black"],
  "max_selections": 1
}
```

### yes_no
Binary quality check with conditional actions.
```json
{
  "type": "yes_no",
  "instruction": "Is the product completely visible?",
  "on_yes": { "add_tags": ["framing_ok"] },
  "on_no": { "add_tags": ["needs_reshot"] }
}
```

## Gotchas

- **Instruction clarity**: Be specific ("What is the collar type?" not "Describe the image")
- **Vocabulary design**: Use business terminology, non-overlapping, 1-30 items max
- **Field requirements**: For `select_metadata`, field must exist in DAM first
- **Tag values**: Cannot contain `%` character
- **yes_no tasks**: Must have at least one of `on_yes` or `on_no`
- **Vocabulary length**: Max 500 characters combined (select_tags only)
- **Scope**: Works on visual content only (images/videos)

## Applying AI Tasks

- **Via DAM MCP**: `list_saved_extensions`, `create_saved_extension`, and `apply_extension_bulk` on `https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam`
- **Via Saved Extensions**: Create and apply via dashboard/API
- **Via API at Upload**: Include in `extensions` array
- **Via Path Policies**: Auto-apply to files in specific folders
