cli-hub-matrix-image-design
Capability-based multi-tool matrix for image and graphic design: AI generation, raster/vector editing, UI mockups, diagrams, upscaling, photo library, and publishing.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a comprehensive matrix of tools and workflows for image and graphic design that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires cli-hub installed locally. Requires canva, figma, firefly, google, ideogram, midjourney, openai, penpot, recraft, remove_bg, replicate, stability, topaz account access. About 6k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-03. 46,739 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Image & Graphic Design Matrix (S5 — v2 capability-based) Scenario S5. Deepest creation coverage after S2 — raster (GIMP + Krita), vector (Inkscape), AI (ComfyUI + Jimeng + 7 APIs), diagram (drawio + mermaid). Figma is the headline gap (also affects S7). Schema: docs/cli-matrix/matrixregistry.schema.md. Matrix plan: docs/cli-matrix/cli-matrix-plan.md. Install --- Provider selection constraints 1. Use preflight as an availability report, not as a provider selector. 2. Treat provider order as documentation order only. 3. Choose from user requirements, output quality bar, offline needs, credential state, install cost, and provider notes. 4. Escalate to paid or metered APIs only when credentials are already present or the user explicitly consents. AI image is paid-API-diverse, so ask which provider the user wants when several credentialed choices are available. Offline context? GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, and local diffusers cover almost everything offline. --- Preflight Run cli-hub matrix preflight image-design --json first. Use the manual block below for extra probes or older cli-hub versions. --- Suggest-to-user template Examples: To enable sota AI image generation via OpenAI GPT-Image-1, please set OPENAIAPIKEY. Cost: metered per-image. Quality: sota for photoreal + text rendering. Reply 'skip' to fall back to local comfyui (FLUX/SDXL). To round-trip UI mockups with Figma, please set FIGMATOKEN. Cost: free tier works for most users. Quality: sota (design system aware). Reply 'skip' to fall back to sketch or drawio wireframes. …
