What it does

Photo Editing Guide is an agent skill from OtoDock/oto-dock. Professional Lightroom-style photo editing workflow and parameter recipes for editimage. Use when editing, retouching, enhancing, or color-grading photos.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image editing. The repository describes itself as: The agentic company OS. The brains of your company, built on Claude Code and Codex, working on your Anthropic and OpenAI subscriptions.

When your agent uses it

  • Color-grading photos
  • Tasks that involve Image editing

Example prompts

  • “/photo-editing-guide”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Exposure & Light (get the tones right first — check the analysis for current exposure)
  2. Presence (add punch and clarity)
  3. Color (warmth and tone)
  4. Detail (always denoise before sharpening)
  5. Finishing touches

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5308f5a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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 Editing Guide loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 721 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 721 words (~1,351 tokens).

“When editing photos, always call analyze_image first to see the histogram, zone balance, and color data before choosing adjustment values. This prevents over-editing.”
