Illustrator

Illustrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SFKislev/Flue. It costs 21 tokens per session (385 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Audition, MIT.

A bridge that lets a coding agent control Adobe Illustrator from shell commands. It uses small scripts to inspect or edit Illustrator documents and returns structured results.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect documents, artboards, layers, paths, and selections, and make targeted edits. It is for requests that need work performed inside Illustrator.
Why use it?
Coding agents normally cannot directly interact with an open desktop design application. The bridge connects shell-based automation with Illustrator while keeping edits bounded.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Illustrator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

What it actually says

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

  1. Read FLUE.md in this directory first. It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked ExtendScript example, and safety expectations.
  2. If Flue is installed: also read C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.md and adapters/illustrator_adapter/APP.md for the operational contract, then work from there.
  3. 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.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
