SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Creating a custom visual skin for the LobsterAI desktop app normally requires manually generating artwork, matching a color palette, and wiring assets into the application. This Skill automates that entire flow: it turns a plain style description into a validated palette, generates the two required images, and registers and applies the finished skin through the trusted skin management tool.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured skin draft creation: Builds an accessible immersive-shell palette with enforced contrast ratios (4.5:1 for primary text, 3:1 for accents) before any paid image generation begins.
  • Two-asset generation pipeline: Serially generates a 16:9 workspace backdrop and a square home emblem using one locked image backend and model, with reference-image support for visual consistency.
  • Validated registration and application: Registers each asset into its required slot via lobsterai_skin_manage, verifies both slots are ready, then applies the completed skin.
  • Use Case: A user says "give LobsterAI a warm retro sunset look." The Skill derives a palette, generates a backdrop and emblem in that style, and applies the finished skin, which the user can later remove from Appearance settings.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to create a LobsterAI skin in your desired visual style, for example a minimalist dark forest theme, and let it generate and apply the skin.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a custom skin for LobsterAI?

Describe the visual style you want, and the Skill builds a palette, generates a workspace backdrop and home emblem, registers both assets, and applies the skin. The finished skin can be removed later from Appearance settings.

What assets does a LobsterAI skin include?

The MVP skin contains exactly two generated raster images: a 16:9 landscape workspace backdrop and a square home emblem readable at 48 pixels. It does not include icons, fonts, CSS, or layout changes.

Can I choose the image generation model for skin creation?

The Skill lists available models from the configured backend and locks one model for the entire pack. It never mixes providers or models, and it stops if no supported image backend or LobsterAI media entitlement is available.

Does the skin creator change LobsterAI color themes or layout?

No. LobsterAI deterministically infers a light or dark theme from the validated palette when applying the skin. The Skill never writes CSS, configuration, or layout changes directly; only lobsterai_skin_manage registers or applies skins.

What happens if skin image generation fails?

The Skill stays on the incomplete slot and retries serially only when recovery is useful, otherwise it stops and identifies the failed slot. It never runs generations in parallel or proceeds to the next asset before registration succeeds.
