Firefly Services Skills

License: Apache 2.0

Production-grade Claude Code skills for Adobe Firefly Services, distilled from real enterprise FDE engagements.

Built by FocusGTS — a forward-deployed engineering partner working on Adobe's Firefly platform. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe.


What's in here

This repository hosts the firefly-services plugin — 19 skills (17 workflow skills + 2 meta-skills) that cover the FDE-grade lifecycle for Adobe Firefly Services:

Foundation skills

Skill Purpose
firefly-services-bootstrap Wire up a new Firefly Services project from zero — console, credentials, SDK, first call
firefly-services-auth OAuth Server-to-Server tokens, refresh-before-expiry, JWT-to-OAuth migration
firefly-services-troubleshoot Triage tree for 401 / 403 / 429 / 4xx / 5xx and 30+ specific failure modes
firefly-services-rate-limits Token-bucket limiting, exponential backoff, queue-fronted architecture for batch workloads
firefly-services-storage-refs Upload endpoint vs pre-signed URLs, mask generation, output destinations, expiry gotchas

Generative skills

Skill Purpose
firefly-generate-image-v3-async V3 async generation — submit, poll, webhook callbacks, style + structure references
firefly-custom-models Train, manage, and invoke custom models for brand-aligned generation
firefly-expand-fill Generative Expand (canvas extension) and Generative Fill (region replacement)
firefly-generate-similar Variation generation from a source — the campaign-multiplication workflow
firefly-video-model Text-to-video and image-to-video with the commercially-safe Firefly Video Model

Photoshop & Lightroom skills

Skill Purpose
photoshop-api-actions Smart-object replacement, action playback, text-layer editing, document manifests
photoshop-api-composition Multi-stage orchestration — the 15-20 function state-machine pattern
lightroom-api-batch Preset application, auto-tone, batch normalization across image sets

Meta-skills

Self-updating discovery and planning entry points. The catalog regenerates itself daily via GitHub Actions; the planner uses it interactively.

Skill Purpose
firefly-skills-catalog Auto-generated index of every skill — ours plus Adobe-published and community Firefly-related skills auto-discovered from external repositories. Regenerated daily by a GitHub Actions cron job. Do not edit by hand.
firefly-project-planner Interactive project-planning assistant. Asks 4 clarifying questions, returns a structured project plan with the right skills in the right order.

Tier 3 — Architecture patterns

End-to-end blueprints that stitch the foundation, generative, and editing skills into deployable architectures for enterprise-scale workloads.

Skill Purpose
firefly-batch-pipeline The end-to-end production reference architecture — SQS + Lambda + Step Functions + DynamoDB for high-volume campaign workloads
firefly-brand-guardrails The four-layer guardrail stack — model lock-in, prompt filtering, output classification, human review queues
firefly-cost-optimization FinOps for Firefly Services — where spend goes, what to cache, the "consumption is 3× forecast" debugging sequence
genstudio-extensibility-scaffold App Builder extension scaffold for GenStudio for Performance Marketing — brand-config bindings, UI surfaces, event subscriptions

Installation

Claude Code (plugin marketplace)

/plugin marketplace add Focus-GTS/firefly-services-skills
/plugin install firefly-services@firefly-services-skills

Manual install

Clone this repo and copy the plugin into your local Claude Code skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/Focus-GTS/firefly-services-skills.git
cp -R firefly-services-skills/plugins/firefly-services ~/.claude/skills/

How to use

Each skill is designed to be triggered by natural language. Examples:

You say Skill that fires
"Set up Firefly Services for our new project" firefly-services-bootstrap
"I'm getting a 401 from the Firefly API" firefly-services-troubleshoot
"Help me build a batch image generation pipeline" firefly-services-rate-limits + firefly-generate-image-v3-async
"Train a custom model for our brand iconography" firefly-custom-models
"How do I extend an image's canvas?" firefly-expand-fill
"Replace this PSD's smart object with a generated image" photoshop-api-actions
"Apply this Lightroom preset to 200 photos" lightroom-api-batch

Triggers and failure modes are encoded in each skill's description frontmatter. Claude Code uses these descriptions to route to the right skill automatically.


What this is not

These skills are playbooks, not an SDK. They tell Claude how to think about a Firefly Services task — when to use which endpoint, what gotchas to avoid, what the production patterns look like.

For the actual SDK, install:

npm install @adobe/firefly-apis @adobe/photoshop-apis @adobe/lightroom-apis @adobe/firefly-services-common-apis

The skills here reference the SDK throughout. They're designed to work together.


Provenance

Every skill in this repository is derived from real production work on Adobe Firefly Services. Specifically:

  • Auth, rate-limit, and storage patterns were hardened during high-volume generative campaign engagements
  • Custom model patterns were validated against enterprise iconography and brand-asset workflows
  • PSD composition orchestration is the architecture shape used in production for multi-stage template-driven asset pipelines
  • Lightroom batch patterns were validated against enterprise photography workflows that produce hundreds of normalized assets per day

These are not theoretical. They're the patterns that survived contact with production.


Contributing

Issues and PRs welcome. Please open an issue before submitting a substantive PR so we can align on direction.

  • Bug reports: please include the exact endpoint, error response, and what you expected
  • New skills: file an issue with the proposed name, description, and the gap it fills
  • Improvements: please reference the line(s) in the affected SKILL.md

SDK provenance

Every endpoint path, request shape, and response shape cited in these skills has been validated against the OpenAPI specifications bundled inside the official Adobe SDKs:

SDK Validated against
@adobe/firefly-apis v2.0.1 — oas/FFApiOpenApi3.json
@adobe/photoshop-apis v2.0.1 — oas/PsApiOpenApi3.json
@adobe/lightroom-apis v2.0.1 — oas/LrApiOpenApi3.json
@adobe/firefly-services-common-apis v2.0.0

Servers per SDK:

  • Firefly endpoints live under https://firefly-api.adobe.io
  • Photoshop API endpoints live under https://image.adobe.io/pie/psdService/* and https://image.adobe.io/sensei/*
  • Lightroom API endpoints live under https://image.adobe.io/lrService/*

The full canonical endpoint inventory is in docs/sdk-endpoints.md.

Adobe also publishes additional patterns in its developer documentation (for example, explicit async-suffixed endpoint variants for some Firefly operations) that are not in the SDK at the time of validation. If a workflow requires an endpoint or behavior not covered by the SDK, consult the current Adobe documentation at https://developer.adobe.com/firefly-services/docs/ as the source of truth.
