SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates Photoshop workflows by bridging CLI tooling and the Photoshop UXP plugin, delivering a stable, scriptable surface for controlling documents, layers, and operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic operation envelopes to apply a series of Photoshop actions in a single transaction.
  • Dry-run testing and checkpointing to validate payloads without mutating documents.
  • MCP integration to enable AI agents and coding assistants to orchestrate Photoshop automation locally.

Quick Start

Install the psagent CLI, start the bridge daemon, and connect the Photoshop plugin to begin automating documents and layers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Photoshop workflows from the command line?

You can automate Photoshop workflows from the command line by using a CLI orchestration tool that bridges coding agents and the Photoshop UXP plugin, providing a stable command surface for controlling documents and layers.

Can I use AI agents to control Photoshop layers and documents?

Yes, AI agents can control Photoshop layers and documents through MCP integration, which enables coding assistants to orchestrate Photoshop automation locally via a dedicated runtime bridge.

What do I need to connect a CLI to Photoshop for automation?

To connect a CLI to Photoshop for automation, you need Photoshop 24+, the Agent Bridge plugin, and Node.js 20+, which together provide the runtime bridge and orchestration tokens required for scripting.

How does dry-run testing work for Photoshop automation scripts?

Dry-run testing for Photoshop automation scripts validates operation payloads without mutating documents by using deterministic envelopes and checkpointing, ensuring your actions are safe before applying them.

What is the best way to apply multiple Photoshop actions in a single transaction?

The best way to apply multiple Photoshop actions in a single transaction is by using deterministic operation envelopes, which group a series of document and layer operations into one scripted workflow.

Why use MCP integration for local Photoshop automation instead of standard plugins?

Using MCP integration for local Photoshop automation enables coding agents and AI assistants to directly orchestrate document and layer operations through a CLI, offering deeper scriptable control than standard plugins.
