# ps-fundamentals output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: Photoshop MCP mandatory workflow rules (R1-R7), coordinate system, layer stack order, canvas rotation, selection fundamentals, mask fundamentals (white=visible black=hidden), smart objects vs rasterized layers, fill opacity vs layer opacity. LOAD THIS FIRST for any Photoshop operation..
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “WHEN TO USE THIS SKILL / 1.1 COORDINATE SYSTEM / 1.2 LAYER STACK ORDER” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “Photoshop MCP mandatory workflow rules (R1-R7), coordinate system, layer stack order, canvas rotation, selection fundamentals, mask fundamentals (white=visible black=hidden), smart objects vs rasterized layers, fill opacity vs layer opacity. LOAD THIS FIRST for any Photoshop operation.”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “WHEN TO USE THIS SKILL / 1.1 COORDINATE SYSTEM / 1.2 LAYER STACK ORDER” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, run shell commands, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, run shell commands, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. Choose the trigger
The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Provide inputs and boundaries
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, run shell commands, write/modify files.
Validate with a small run
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “WHEN TO USE THIS SKILL / 1.1 COORDINATE SYSTEM / 1.2 LAYER STACK ORDER”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Review before delivery
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# ps-fundamentals
## When to use

- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “WHEN TO USE THIS SKILL / 1.1 COORDINATE SYSTEM / 1.2 LAYER STACK ORDER” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, run shell commands, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. Evidence boundary and execution chain
The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.

}PHOTOSHOP DESIGNER SKILL — FUNDAMENTALS & RULES
Execute ANY Photoshop design effect perfectly on first try — zero trial-and-error.
WHEN TO USE THIS SKILL
Load this skill FIRST for any Photoshop operation. It contains the mandatory rules and core concepts needed before using any other Photoshop skill.
MANDATORY WORKFLOW RULES
§1 FUNDAMENTALS
1.1 COORDINATE SYSTEM
- Origin (0,0) = top-left corner of canvas
- X increases RIGHT, Y increases DOWN
- Layer bounds:
{left, top, right, bottom}in pixels from origin - Center of canvas:
(width/2, height/2)
1.2 LAYER STACK ORDER
- Layers are drawn bottom-up — bottom layer renders first, top layer renders last
move_layer(position="TOP")= above all (visually on top)move_layer(position="BOTTOM")= below all (visually behind)- New layers appear ABOVE the currently active layer
- Adjustment layers affect ALL layers below them unless clipped
1.3 CANVAS ROTATION RULES
rotate_canvasrotates the entire document including all layers- Rotation is destructive — pixels are resampled
- Always rotate back by the exact negative amount
- Plan filter directions BEFORE rotating — see Wind direction table §7.2
1.4 SELECTION FUNDAMENTALS
- Selection = marching ants defining which pixels are affected
- Feather = soft edges (pixels partially selected)
- Selection MUST exist before: fill_selection, delete_selection, content_aware_fill, generative_fill, add_layer_mask_from_selection
select_all= entire canvas,clear_selection= deselect everything- Selections are per-document, not per-layer
1.5 MASK FUNDAMENTALS
- Layer mask = grayscale image controlling layer visibility
- White = fully visible, Black = fully hidden, Gray = partially visible
add_layer_mask_reveal_all= white mask (everything shows)add_layer_mask_hide_all= black mask (everything hidden)fill_mask_with_gradient= smooth transition between visible/hidden- To paint on mask:
select_layer_mask→ brush/fill →select_layer_rgbto go back - Gradient mask direction: start point = BLACK (hidden), end point = WHITE (visible)
1.6 SMART OBJECTS vs RASTERIZED LAYERS
- Smart Objects preserve original data but BLOCK most filters
- Rasterize BEFORE applying: Wind, Wave, Twirl, Spherize, Crystallize, Noise, Sharpen, etc.
- Text layers must be rasterized before ANY filter
rasterize_layeris irreversible — always duplicate first
1.7 FILL OPACITY vs LAYER OPACITY
- Layer Opacity = affects layer content + ALL layer styles
- Fill Opacity = affects ONLY layer content, NOT layer styles (drop shadow, glow, bevel stay at full)
- Key trick: Fill 0% + layer styles = invisible content with visible effects (used for glass text)
- Set via:
set_layer_properties(layer_id=X, fill_opacity=0)
