What it does
The agent studies the photo for three to six decisive spatial facts, such as subject relationships, scale, axes, depth, rhythm, light, color roles and negative space. The photograph stays as the upper or principal section and is allowed only proportional scaling or a slight crop. It is never redrawn, extended, retouched or filtered.
Below it goes a flat, untextured ivory panel holding a sparse abstract motif rebuilt from the retained relationships, not a thumbnail, trace or style transfer. The motif uses one primary mark family and at most two supporting ones, with a muted palette taken only from the photo and generous whitespace. People appear as short irregular vertical marks or tapered blocks, never heads or faces, and landmarks keep at most one to three identity cues. An original English title of two to five words in a restrained serif sits on the panel, with a subtitle only when it adds meaning.
The agent returns only the finished composition, with no commentary, title options, labels, dates, logos or watermarks. A longer reference prompt in the references folder is read before the image is produced. The skill's licence is listed as proprietary.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 49e5507. 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 Abstract Editorial loads about 815 tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 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 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 (Proprietary) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 375 words (~815 tokens).
“Create one finished image from one uploaded photograph. Keep the photograph faithful; derive the lower abstract panel only from the photograph's observed spatial, tonal, and color relationships.”
