What this skill does
# Cover Art Prompting Create compelling text-to-image prompts for album and song cover artwork optimized for AI image generators. ## Overview This skill provides comprehensive frameworks for translating musical concepts into visual prompts that AI image generators can interpret effectively. It covers prompt structure, art style specification, composition guidelines, and platform-specific optimization. ## Capabilities ### Visual Concept Development - Translate sonic mood to visual language - Create metaphorical visual representations - Design genre-appropriate imagery - Develop artist-consistent aesthetics - Balance abstract and representational elements ### Prompt Structure - Write clear subject descriptions - Specify art styles and techniques - Define lighting and atmosphere - Describe composition and framing - Add technical modifiers ### Platform Optimization - Optimize for Midjourney parameters - Structure for DALL-E interpretation - Adapt for Stable Diffusion models - Handle platform-specific syntax ### Style Direction - Reference art movements - Specify artistic techniques - Define color palettes - Describe textures and materials - Note photographic vs illustrated approaches ### Technical Specification - Set aspect ratios (1:1 for album covers) - Add quality modifiers - Include negative prompts - Specify rendering styles ## Usage Guidelines ### Prompt Structure Template ``` [Subject/Scene], [Art Style] art, [Art Movement] inspired, [Lighting Type] lighting, [Color Palette] colors, [Composition Type], [Atmosphere/Mood] atmosphere, [Technical Modifiers] --ar 1:1 --v 6 ``` ### Full Prompt Format ```markdown # [Song/Album Title] - Cover Art Prompt ## Concept [Brief description connecting visual to music] ## Primary Prompt ``` [Full optimized prompt] ``` ## Style Elements - **Art Style**: [Style] - **Art Movement**: [Movement] - **Color Palette**: [Colors] - **Lighting**: [Description] - **Mood**: [Atmosphere] ## Composition - **Subject**: [Main focus] - **Background**: [Setting] - **Framing**: [Type] - **Perspective**: [Angle] ## Technical - **Aspect Ratio**: 1:1 - **Quality**: [Modifiers] - **Negative Prompt**: [What to avoid] ## Variations 1. [Alternative 1] 2. [Alternative 2] ``` ### Art Style Keywords | Style | Keywords | |-------|----------| | Photorealistic | photorealistic, 8k, detailed, sharp focus | | Painterly | oil painting, brushstrokes, impasto | | Digital Art | digital art, concept art, artstation | | Minimalist | minimal, clean, geometric, simple | | Surreal | surrealist, dreamlike, ethereal | | Vintage | retro, vintage, film grain, nostalgic | | Cyberpunk | neon, cyberpunk, futuristic, holographic | | Gothic | dark, gothic, ornate, dramatic | ### Lighting Keywords - Golden hour, blue hour, harsh midday - Dramatic lighting, soft diffused, rim light - Neon glow, candlelight, moonlit - Studio lighting, natural light, backlit - Volumetric lighting, god rays, lens flare ### Quality Checklist - [ ] Subject is clearly described - [ ] Art style is specified - [ ] Lighting creates mood - [ ] Colors align with sonic palette - [ ] Composition is defined - [ ] Technical modifiers included - [ ] Negative prompts prevent issues - [ ] Variations offer alternatives ## Integration Points ### Related Skills - SK-MAC-002 (style-specification) - Sonic context to visualize - SK-MAC-004 (persona-development) - Artist visual aesthetic - SK-MAC-005 (album-conceptualization) - Album visual direction ### Related Agents - AG-MAC-003 (visual-director-agent) - Primary executor - AG-MAC-004 (persona-designer-agent) - Aesthetic context ## Genre-Visual Mappings | Genre | Visual Tendencies | |-------|-------------------| | Electronic | Abstract, geometric, neon, futuristic | | Rock | Raw, gritty, photographic, bold | | Hip-Hop | Urban, stylized, bold typography | | Folk/Acoustic | Natural, warm, pastoral, organic | | Metal | Dark, detailed, dramatic, symbolic | | Pop | Bright, polished, portrait-focused | | Jazz | Sophisticated, minimal, vintage | | Ambient | Abstract, atmospheric, ethereal | ## References - Midjourney documentation and parameters - DALL-E prompting best practices - Album cover design history and trends - Art movement characteristics

watch
IncludedWatch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.
physical-ai-defect-image-generation
IncludedUse when the user wants to orchestrate defect image generation, run associated setup, or handle outputs on OSMO. The Day 0 path handles cold-start with USD-to-ROI, image-edit augmentation, and AnomalyGen to create initial PCBA datasets. The Day 1 path performs inference and labeling on real images. This skill helps with first-time asset setup, creation of finetuning checkpoints, and configuring deployment. Trigger keywords: defect image generation, dig workflow, dig pipeline, defect image detection workflow, aoi pipeline, aoi anomalygen, usd2roi anomalygen, day 0 pcba, day 1 pcba, day 1 real-photo alignment, day 1 manual roi, metal surface anomaly, glass defect, anomalygen finetune, setup_pcb, setup_metal, setup_glass, setup_pretrained, dig setup, dig datasets, dig pretrained checkpoint, dig image-edit endpoint.
accelint-react-best-practices
IncludedReact performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.
elevenlabs-agents
IncludedBuild conversational AI voice agents with ElevenLabs Platform using React, JavaScript, React Native, or Swift SDKs. Configure agents, tools (client/server/MCP), RAG knowledge bases, multi-voice, and Scribe real-time STT. Use when: building voice chat interfaces, implementing AI phone agents with Twilio, configuring agent workflows or tools, adding RAG knowledge bases, testing with CLI "agents as code", or troubleshooting deprecated @11labs packages, Android audio cutoff, CSP violations, dynamic variables, or WebRTC config. Keywords: ElevenLabs Agents, ElevenLabs voice agents, AI voice agents, conversational AI, @elevenlabs/react, @elevenlabs/client, @elevenlabs/react-native, @elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js, @elevenlabs/agents-cli, elevenlabs SDK, voice AI, TTS, text-to-speech, ASR, speech recognition, turn-taking model, WebRTC voice, WebSocket voice, ElevenLabs conversation, agent system prompt, agent tools, agent knowledge base, RAG voice agents, multi-voice agents, pronunciation dictionary, voice speed control, elevenlabs scribe, @11labs deprecated, Android audio cutoff, CSP violation elevenlabs, dynamic variables elevenlabs, case-sensitive tool names, webhook authentication
humanizer
IncludedHumanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.
generating-mermaid-diagrams
IncludedSalesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
