Capability Graph

After generating or editing images, consider these next steps to build on your results:

Enhance Your Images

  • Upscale to higher resolution (2x/4x) →
    skb task image --capability upscale -b '{"image":"out.png"}'
  • Remove background for transparent PNGs →
    skb api call replicate/lucataco/remove-bg -b '{"image_url":"..."}'
  • Style transfer to change artistic style →
    skb task image --capability img2img -b '{"image":"out.png","prompt":"watercolor style"}'

Turn Images Into More

  • Animate into video — bring still images to life →
    skb task video --capability i2v -b '{"image":"out.png","prompt":"gentle motion"}'
    (see
    skillboss-video
    )
  • Add voiceover for a narrated visual →
    skb task tts -b '{"text":"..."}'
  • Create a presentation with your images →
    skb api call gamma/generation -b '{"prompt":"..."}'
  • Deploy as a website — build a gallery or portfolio → see
    ../skillboss/SKILL.md
    for deployment

Complete Visual Workflow

  1. Design direction — get color palette and typography first →
    skb api call lokuma/design -b '{"query":"..."}'
  2. Generate images — create visuals matching the design →
    skb task image -b '{"prompt":"..."}'
  3. Build UI — place images in a generated layout →
    skb api call stitch/generate-desktop -b '{"prompt":"..."}'
  4. Deploy — ship it live →
    skb task deploy
