# photoshop

**Level: max.** Runtime package: `mcp/photoshop` (not skill-text alone).

## Summary

Drive **Adobe Photoshop** from the AI host through a public MCP runtime

(`photoshop-mcp-server` via `uvx`). Rogue owns the playbook + wiring under

`ai-agents-rogue/mcp/photoshop/` and this skill.

## When to use

- User asks for Photoshop / PSD / layer edits / export via agent

- `TEAM.yaml` or chat names `photoshop`

- MCP entry `photoshop` is configured

## When not to use

- Vector-first work → prefer `illustrator`

- Simple batch image ops without Photoshop → `imagemagick`

- Generative raster pipelines → `comfyui` when appropriate

## Prerequisites

1. Adobe Photoshop desktop installed (version matched to `PS_VERSION`, default `2024`)

2. `uv` / `uvx` on PATH

3. Wire MCP:

```powershell

.\ai-agents-rogue\scripts\install-mcp.ps1 -Target . -Mcp photoshop

```

See `mcp/photoshop/README.md`.

## Procedure

1. **Context** — Confirm project / `WORKMODE.md`; read `mcp/photoshop/README.md`.

2. **Tooling** — Photoshop running; MCP `photoshop` connected; adjust `PS_VERSION` if needed.

3. **Plan** — Inputs (PSD/assets), outputs (export paths), risks (license, COM/API, long ops).

- 4. **Execute** — Use MCP tools for document/layer/session ops; keep artifacts in the project tree.

+ 4. **Execute** — Use MCP tools for document/layer/session ops; save exports under `project/{id}/artifacts/images/` (or `design/` if vector-from-PS workflow). Create project if missing.

5. **Verify** — Open/export check or explicit blocker if MCP cannot reach Photoshop.

- 6. **Handoff** — Paths, PS version, open issues.

+ 6. **Handoff** — Paths under `artifacts/`, PS version, open issues.

## Quality bar

- No secrets / Adobe credentials in git

- Do not claim success if Photoshop or MCP is down

- Respect license and file ownership

## DoD

- [ ] Photoshop MCP reachable or blocker explicit

- [ ] Requested edit/export done or documented fail

- [ ] Artifact paths recorded
