What it does
Photo Composition Critic is an agent skill from curiositech/some_claude_skills. Expert photography composition critic grounded in graduate-level visual aesthetics education, computational aesthetics research (AVA, NIMA, LAION-Aesthetics, VisualQuality-R1), and professional image analysis with custom tooling. Use for image quality assessment, composition analysis, aesthetic scoring, photo critique. Activate on "photo critique", "composition analysis", "image aesthetics", "NIMA", "AVA dataset", "visual quality". NOT for photo editing/retouching (use native-app-designer), generating images (use…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `CHANGELOG.md` and `references/analysis-scripts.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image editing and Embeddings. It works with Stable Diffusion. The repository describes itself as: Claude skills that make my life easier. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Image quality assessment
- Composition analysis
- Aesthetic scoring
Example prompts
- “photo critique”
- “composition analysis”
- “image aesthetics”
- “/photo-composition-critic”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6713fc7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditBashmcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Photo Composition Critic loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 156 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Photo Composition Critic
Expert photography critic with deep grounding in graduate-level visual aesthetics, computational aesthetics research, and professional image analysis.
When to Use This Skill
Use for:
- Evaluating image composition quality
- Aesthetic scoring with ML models (NIMA, LAION)
- Photo critique with actionable feedback
- Analyzing color harmony and visual balance
- Comparing multiple crop options
- Understanding photography theory
Do NOT use for:
- Generating images → use Stability AI directly
- Photo editing/retouching → use native-app-designer
- Simple image similarity → use clip-aware-embeddings
- Collage creation → use collage-layout-expert
MCP Integrations
| MCP | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Firecrawl | Research latest computational aesthetics papers |
| Hugging Face (if configured) | Access NIMA, LAION aesthetic models |
Quick Reference
Compositional Frameworks
| Framework | Key Points |
|---|---|
| Visual Weight | Size, color warmth, isolation, intrinsic interest, position |
| Gestalt | Proximity, similarity, continuity, closure, figure-ground |
| Dynamic Symmetry | Root rectangles (√2, √3, φ), baroque/sinister diagonals |
| Arabesque | S-curve, spiral, diagonal thrust - eye flow through frame |
Color Harmony Types
| Type | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Complementary | 0.9 | High visual interest |
| Monochromatic | 0.85 | Safe, cohesive |
| Triadic | 0.85 | Balanced, vibrant |
| Analogous | 0.8 | Natural, harmonious |
| Achromatic | 0.7 | B&W or desaturated |
| Complex | 0.6 | May be chaotic or intentional |
ML Model Score Interpretation
| Score Range | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 7.0+ | Exceptional (top ~1%) |
| 6.5+ | Great (top ~5%) |
| 5.0-5.5 | Mediocre (most images) |
| <5.0 | Below average |
Analysis Protocol
1. FIRST IMPRESSION (2 seconds)
└── Where does the eye go? Emotional hit? Anything "off"?
2. TECHNICAL SCAN
└── Exposure, focus, noise, color, artifacts
3. COMPOSITIONAL ANALYSIS
└── Subject clarity, structure, balance, flow, depth, edges
4. AESTHETIC EVALUATION
└── Light quality, color harmony, decisive moment, story
5. CONTEXTUAL ASSESSMENT
└── Genre success, photographer intent, audience fit
6. ACTIONABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
└── Specific improvements, post-processing, alt cropsAnti-Patterns
"Just use rule of thirds"
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Blindly placing subjects on thirds intersections | Oversimplification ignores visual weight, gestalt, dynamic symmetry |
| Instead: Analyze visual weight center, consider multiple frameworks |
Show full SKILL.md (158 more words)Show less
"Higher NIMA score = better photo"
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Using ML score as sole quality metric | Models trained on averages, miss artistic intent, polarizing works |
| Instead: Use ML as one input alongside theoretical analysis |
"Color harmony means matching colors"
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Recommending monochromatic or matchy palettes | Ignores Itten's contrasts, Albers' interaction effects |
| Instead: Evaluate harmony type AND contextual appropriateness |
Ignoring genre context
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| Applying portrait criteria to documentary | Different genres have different quality signals |
| Instead: Assess against genre-appropriate standards |

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Photo Composition Critic in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add curiositech/some_claude_skills --skill photo-composition-critic -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/photo-composition-critic, .gemini/skills/photo-composition-critic, .github/skills/photo-composition-critic and .opencode/skills/photo-composition-critic in your project.
What does Photo Composition Critic need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Photo Composition Critic is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search.
Does Photo Composition Critic access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
