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
