Explore image concepts and make faithful edits of accepted references for 3D or creative production, with explicit model choices and visual review.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Image Reference Workflow is an agent skill from witnesstodark/mr-mak-workspace. Explore image concepts and make faithful edits of accepted references for 3D or creative production, with explicit model choices and visual review.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A local desktop workspace for Codex and Claude Code, with project reports, creative skills and optional voice. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/image-reference-workflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e0c7c3. 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

Image Reference Workflow loads about 527 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 279 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~527

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.

Image references and faithful edits

Choose exploration or editing from the user's request. Exploration varies design dimensions; editing preserves an accepted asset and changes a named feature. Inspect supplied images before choosing the operation. Respect the requested provider, model, output count, aspect ratio and intended use.

For fal.ai execution, use the bundled fal skill. Another provider can be used when requested; inspect its live model schema.

For concepts, vary silhouette, construction, proportions or palette deliberately. Label candidates with stable names and keep each prompt. For an edit, identify what remains unchanged and the exact delta. Use the accepted image as input, not a reconstruction of it from text. A two-image merge must explain the role of each reference. Avoid injecting extra style adjectives that redesign the asset.

Choose the camera for the deliverable. A hero concept can use dramatic framing; a modeling sheet needs readable parts and neutral light. Do not force the same camera on every task. When extraction is requested, use the character-sheet module rather than treating a cinematic illustration as a complete parts pack.

Keep prompt, endpoint, seed when available, request ID and downloaded outputs together. Review identity, framing, missing parts, unintended additions and the requested change. Compare at full size. Keep rejected takes with a short reason, and preserve the chosen take while making revisions. Present images with direct file access and a useful preview, using the recipient's existing report style.

Example: "Make two observatory robot concepts with different silhouettes." After a selection: "Keep B exactly; change only its blue paint to green." Expected review: the edit retains B's shape, camera, materials and small details. This is an agent workflow, not an automatic quality classifier.
