Media Generation Skills
Media generation skills cover image generation, pixel art, animation, sound, diagrams, presentations, and asset pipelines. Source: Skill Registry, 2026-11-02
When To Use This
Use this family for image generation, image-to-code, sound, diagrams, slides/doc artifacts, pixel/sprite work, Blender/Substance pipelines, and generated visual assets.
Core Model
Executable behavior lives in skills/**/SKILL.md. This page owns family-level routing, tradeoffs, and failure modes. Exhaustive inventory lives in Skill Registry. Full retired article bodies live in Retired Skill Article Ledger.

Decision Matrix
| Need | Route |
|---|---|
| Choose provider/tool by artifact type. | Load the named SKILL.md from Skill Registry and use this page for context. |
| Keep source intent and brand/taste constraints explicit. | Load the named SKILL.md from Skill Registry and use this page for context. |
| Inspect generated artifacts. | Load the named SKILL.md from Skill Registry and use this page for context. |
Do Not Confuse
- Frontend implementation belongs in frontend-design-skills.
- Google Workspace document operations belong in google-workspace-skills.

Failure Modes
- Using atmosphere instead of inspectable assets.
- Skipping artifact inspection.
- Letting generated media override product clarity.
