Photoshop
If you need a coding agent to actually drive Photoshop instead of just generating scripts, this is the bridge. It pipes ExtendScript commands through a Python adapter called Flue and returns JSON, so Claude can inspect layers, read selections, and make edits inside a live document. The same system works across Adobe Creative Suite and a handful of 3D apps like Blender and Houdini. It's passed audits from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket, and Snyk, and the approach is sensibly cautious: small steps, no destructive actions without approval. You'll need to install Flue separately with pip, but once it's set up, the agent can operate desktop software it otherwise couldn't touch.

Files
This skill lets a coding agent operate Adobe Photoshop on the desktop through Flue, a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes ExtendScript into photoshop_bridge.py and gets structured JSON back.
agent shell ->
photoshop_bridge.py-> ExtendScript -> JSON result
When to use
The human requests work performed inside Photoshop — inspect the open document, layers, selection; make bounded edits; run small ExtendScript steps. A CLI agent cannot act inside Photoshop without a bridge like Flue.
How to proceed
- Read
FLUE.mdin this directory first. It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked ExtendScript example, and safety expectations. - If Flue is installed: also read
C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.mdandadapters/photoshop_adapter/APP.mdfor the operational contract, then work from there. - If Flue is not installed: tell the human. The install command is
pip install flue && flue setup. Do not install without explicit approval in the current session.
