What problem does it solve? Manually performing repetitive Photoshop edits—creating documents, managing layers, adjusting selections, adding text, and exporting files—is slow and cannot be scripted by AI agents. This Skill exposes Photoshop's COM automation interface as a structured CLI with JSON output, enabling both humans and AI agents to drive Photoshop programmatically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full Project & Document Control: Create, open, save, resize, crop, rotate, and change color modes of PSD files from the command line. - Layer, Selection & Text Operations: Add, duplicate, reorder, merge, and blend layers; manage selections with feather/expand/contract; add and edit text layers with font, size, and color control. - Agent-Friendly JSON Mode & REPL: The --json flag returns structured output for AI parsing, --dry-run previews changes without saving, and an interactive REPL reduces Photoshop startup overhead. - Use Case: An AI agent receives a request to generate a poster: it creates an 800x600 PSD, adds a red 48pt Arial title layer, lists layers to verify, and exports the result as a PNG—all through sequential CLI calls. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a new 800x600 PSD named poster.psd, add a text layer saying "Hello World" in red Arial 48pt, and export it as a PNG using the cli-anything-photoshop command with JSON output.
