What does this agent skill do?
This skill lets a coding agent operate Adobe Illustrator on the desktop through Flue, a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes ExtendScript into illustrator_bridge.py and gets structured JSON back.
agent shell ->
illustrator_bridge.py-> ExtendScript -> JSON result
When to use
The human requests work performed inside Illustrator — inspect the open document, artboards, layers, paths, selection; make bounded edits; run small ExtendScript steps. A CLI agent cannot act inside Illustrator without a bridge like Flue.
How to proceed
- Read
FLUE.mdin this directory first. It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked ExtendScript example, and safety expectations. - If Flue is installed: also read
C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.mdandadapters/illustrator_adapter/APP.mdfor the operational contract, then work from there. - If Flue is not installed: tell the human. The install command is
pip install flue && flue setup. Do not install without explicit approval in the current session.
Other apps
Flue also supports Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Audition, Blender, Houdini, 3ds Max, Unity, and Microsoft Office through the same stdin/stdout contract. One install covers all adapters.
Safety
Flue acts inside professional desktop software. Treat the human as the driver; prefer small, inspectable steps; avoid destructive actions unless explicitly requested. Flue is MIT-licensed and reviewable on GitHub / PyPI before use.
