How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/digitalsamba/claude-code-video-toolkit/blob/HEAD/.claude/skills/qwen-edit/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/qwen-edit, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

AI-powered image editing using Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 via RunPod serverless.

Status: Evolving - learnings being captured as we experiment

When to Use This Skill

Use when the user wants to:

  • Edit/transform photos while preserving identity
  • Reframe cropped images (fix cut-off heads, etc.)
  • Change clothing, add accessories
  • Change pose (arm positions, hand placement)
  • Apply style transfers (cyberpunk, anime, oil painting)
  • Adjust lighting/color grading
  • Add/remove objects
  • Character transformations (Bond, Neo, etc.)

When NOT to Use

  • Background replacement (single image) - creates cut-out artifacts, halos
  • Face swapping - cannot preserve identity from reference
  • Outpainting - can't extend canvas reliably

Use With Care

  • Multi-image compositing - CAN work with explicit identity anchors (see examples.md for prompt patterns). Requires describing distinctive features (hair texture/color, ethnicity, outfit) and using guidance ~2.0
  • Camera angle changes - Inconsistent results. Vertical angles (low/high) work better than rotational (three-quarter view)

Quick Reference

# Basic edit
python tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --prompt "Add sunglasses"

# With negative prompt (recommended)
python tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg \
  --prompt "Reframe as portrait with full head visible" \
  --negative "blur, distortion, artifacts"

# Style transfer
python tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --style cyberpunk

# Background (use cautiously - often fails)
python tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --background office

# Higher quality
python tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --prompt "..." --steps 16 --guidance 3.0

# Multi-image composite (identity-preserving)
python tools/image_edit.py --input person.jpg background.jpg \
  --prompt "The [ethnicity] [gender] with [hair description] from first image is now in [scene] from second image. Same [features], [outfit]." \
  --negative "different ethnicity, different hair color, different face shape, generic stock photo" \
  --steps 16 --guidance 2.0
