image-compose
Generates/edits filmmaking canvas images via generate_image.js and generate_image_pro.js. Use before image CLIs for character/location design, refs, starting frames, storyboards, stills, edits, variations, and downstream video anchors. Video-bound characters default to Pattern 7 4-panel sheets; one-off static portraits use Pattern 1. Story/script breakdowns should create detailed location anchors plus material character/location variants. Storyboards use Pattern 6: one pro composite mosaic per clip/<=15s shot note.
npx skills add Utopai-Research/pai-pro --skill image-compose --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the image-compose skill do?
Generates/edits filmmaking canvas images via generate_image.js and generate_image_pro.js.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Utopai-Research/pai-pro --skill image-compose --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Utopai-Research/pai-pro, a repository with 320 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
