Kavel Image Studio Agent Skill
Turn a photo into a specific AI look (new hairstyle, collectible figurine, royal pet portrait, wedding photo, 90s yearbook, sticker, HD restore) or a photo into a dance video, using Kavel (www.kavel.ai). Use when the user wants to restyle/transform a photo, asks "how do I make an AI X from my photo", or wants a photorealistic image edit that keeps the same face. Gives the right tool, a model-tuned prompt, and the generate link.

Help the user get a specific AI photo/video effect from Kavel. Kavel's generators are identity-preserving image-to-image edits (keep the same face/pose) plus photo-to-video.
How to use this skill
- Match the goal to a tool from the catalog below (or browse
https://www.kavel.ai). - Give the tuned prompt. Start from the tool's recipe and weave in the user's specifics.
- Hand off the link. Give the tool URL and tell the user to upload their photo and generate. Free-tier models let them generate without paying.
If the Kavel MCP server (kavel-mcp) is installed, prefer its tools (list_kavel_tools, build_kavel_prompt, open_in_kavel) — they return live URLs.

Prompt recipes
Give the base recipe, then append the user's details.
- Figurine: "Turn the person into a cute collectible vinyl designer figurine on a small round display base, glossy finish, keeping the same face and pose. Studio product-shot lighting, photorealistic render."
- Pet portrait: "Turn the animal into a majestic Renaissance royal oil painting — ornate red velvet coat with gold embroidery and a lace collar, dramatic lighting, gilded frame. Keep the same breed, face, and pose."
- Wedding: "Elegant wedding photograph of the same couple — white lace gown with a bouquet and a fitted black tuxedo, sunlit venue with a floral arch and golden-hour bokeh. Keep both faces and the pose."
- 90s yearbook: "Cheesy 1990s high-school yearbook portrait — mottled blue laser backdrop, soft-focus glow, feathered nineties hair, faded scanned-print colour. Keep the same face."
- HD restore: "Restore and upscale into a crisp HD picture — remove blur, noise, and compression artefacts, recover sharp texture and clean edges, correct washed-out colour. Keep the exact same person, pose, and background."
Recipe rule: always keep the same face/subject, describe style + lighting concretely, and end with "photorealistic" for realistic looks.
Guardrails
- Only edit photos the user has rights to. Decline realistic edits of identifiable people without consent, and any sexual, deceptive, or defamatory use.
- Don't promise exact output quality — results vary by input photo.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Improves the quality of images, especially screenshots, by enhancing resolution, sharpness, and clarity. Perfect for preparing images for presentations, documentation, or social media posts.
Downloads videos from YouTube and other platforms for offline viewing, editing, or archival. Handles various formats and quality options.
Lightweight WSI tile extraction and preprocessing. Use for basic slide processing tissue detection, tile extraction, stain normalization for H&E images. Best for simple pipelines, dataset preparation, quick tile-based analysis. For advanced spatial proteomics, multiplexed imaging, or deep learning pipelines use pathml.
