Photoshop Automator Skill (v1.2.4)

This skill provides a high-performance bridge for automating Adobe Photoshop (vCS6 - 2026+) on Windows and macOS using the ExtendScript (JSX) engine via VBScript or AppleScript.

Commands

• runScript: Executes raw ExtendScript (ES3) code. Use this for complex document manipulation.
• updateText: Target a specific text layer by name and update its contents instantly.
• createLayer: Create new art layers with custom opacity and blending modes.
• applyFilter: Apply a professional Gaussian Blur filter to the active layer.
• playAction: Play recorded Photoshop actions (.atn) by name and set.
• export: Save the active document as a high-quality PNG or JPEG.

🛠 AI Protocol

1. Technical Constraints (Strict)

• ES3 Syntax Only: Photoshop's ExtendScript engine uses ECMAScript 3 (ES3).
  • ❌ DO NOT USE: const, let, arrow functions () => {}, template literals `${}`, or Map/Set.
  • ✅ USE: Only var, standard function declarations, and string concatenation ('a' + b).
• Assume Active Document: Commands operate on the active document. If none is open, scripts will fail unless they call app.documents.add().
