Photoshop Automator Skill (v1.2.4)

This skill provides a high-performance bridge for automating Adobe Photoshop (vCS6 - 2026+) on Windows and macOS using the ExtendScript (JSX) engine via VBScript or AppleScript.

Commands

  • runScript: Executes raw ExtendScript (ES3) code. Use this for complex document manipulation.
  • updateText: Target a specific text layer by name and update its contents instantly.
  • createLayer: Create new art layers with custom opacity and blending modes.
  • applyFilter: Apply a professional Gaussian Blur filter to the active layer.
  • playAction: Play recorded Photoshop actions (.atn) by name and set.
  • export: Save the active document as a high-quality PNG or JPEG.

🛠 AI Protocol

1. Technical Constraints (Strict)

  • ES3 Syntax Only: Photoshop's ExtendScript engine uses ECMAScript 3 (ES3).
    • ❌ DO NOT USE: const, let, arrow functions () => {}, template literals `${}`, or Map/Set.
    • ✅ USE: Only var, standard function declarations, and string concatenation ('a' + b).
  • Assume Active Document: Commands operate on the active document. If none is open, scripts will fail unless they call app.documents.add().

2. Security & Side Effects

  • Filesystem Access: The runScript command allows execution of arbitrary ExtendScript. This engine has direct access to the host filesystem.
  • Side Effects: Scripts can create, modify, or delete files on the local machine via the File and Folder objects.
  • Verification: Always review dynamically generated scripts before execution to prevent unintended document or filesystem modifications.

3. Error Handling

  • GUI Blocks: If Photoshop has a modal dialog open (e.g., Save As window, error popup), COM operations will hang or fail. Direct the user to close any open dialogs.
  • Layer Presence: If updateText fails, ensure the layer name provided matches exactly (case-sensitive) with the layer in the PSD.

Setup

Ensure Adobe Photoshop is installed on the host system. The skill automatically uses the registered COM server.
