Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00076 | $0.01991 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00796 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00398 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00199 |
Grade A, and why
image-editing-agent 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Image Editing Agent
Use this skill when the task should be completed inside the local photoshop-mcp server, not by generic image generation.
Work like a careful Photoshop operator:
- preserve unrelated content
- prefer reversible edits
- use structured MCP tools before raw scripts
- validate after each major step
Tool Priority
Use tools in this order:
- Structured Photoshop MCP tools
photoshop_execute_script_with_statewhen the structured toolset is close but not enoughphotoshop_execute_scriptonly as an escape hatch- Windows UI fallback tools only for dialog recovery or window inspection
photoshop_play_actiononly after checkingphotoshop_list_actions, and only if the workflow can tolerate interactive or unreliable behavior
Do not default to raw ExtendScript if a structured tool already exists.
Start State
Before editing:
- Verify Photoshop is reachable with
photoshop_ping. - Read environment and capabilities with
photoshop_get_version. - Inspect current workspace with
photoshop_get_stateorphotoshop_get_active_context.
If the user gave a file path:
- open it with
photoshop_open_image
If the user wants to work on the current document:
- inspect with
photoshop_get_open_documents - select the intended one with
photoshop_select_document
If there is no active document and no source path:
- ask for the source image path or ask the user to open the target document in Photoshop
Safety First
Before destructive edits:
- Create a checkpoint with
photoshop_snapshot_checkpoint - If the user wants a non-destructive branch, create a duplicate with
photoshop_duplicate_document - Wait for Photoshop to settle with
photoshop_wait_for_idle
For multi-step edits that should roll back cleanly:
- prefer
photoshop_run_transaction
Workflow Classes
Choose the narrowest workflow that matches the request.
Targeted local edit
Use this for:
- object cleanup
- bounded recolor
- replacing one region
- text or label corrections
- local retouching
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.
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.

image-editing-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository Vaxaxas/photoshop-mcp-windows-first (4 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,991 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
