Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
- Enhanced security section in documentation to highlight the risks of executing arbitrary ExtendScript code. - Added explicit warnings about unrestricted filesystem access and the dangers of running untrusted scripts. - Removed obsolete test file (test_ps.js) from the codebase. - Minor metadata and version updates for clarity.
What This Skill Does
Automates Adobe applications by executing ExtendScript (ES3) code through the operating system's built-in scripting bridge. Supports Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and After Effects on Windows and macOS. No additional dependencies are required beyond having the target Adobe app installed and running.
Provides a single interface to script five Adobe applications without separate plugins, using only tools built into Windows and macOS.
When to use it
- Batch-export hundreds of Photoshop documents to a target format overnight
- Auto-populate InDesign templates with data from an external source
- Apply a consistent color grade across multiple Premiere Pro sequences
- Export all artboards in an Illustrator file as individual SVGs
- Trigger an After Effects render queue from an AI conversation
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Export every artboard in the open Illustrator file as a PNG at 2x resolution
- 1Identifies Illustrator as the target application
- 2Generates ES3-compatible ExtendScript to iterate over all artboards
- 3Sets PNG export options with a 2x scale factor
- 4Calls runScript with app='illustrator' and the generated JSX payload
- 5Returns file paths of the exported PNGs
All artboards exported as 2x PNG files to the document's directory
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
