Popiskill Image Img2img Basic V1

PopiArt Image To Image Basic

This is an official PopiArt runtime catalog skill.

• Popiart_skillhub owns the public skill definition.
• popiartServer owns source resolution, execution, jobs, artifacts, and stable media URLs.
• PopiNewAPI owns provider routing and upstream model access.
• popiartcli owns source upload ergonomics, run, jobs, and artifacts.

Use it when the goal is to:

• take one existing image and restyle or redraw it
• validate that image-conditioned generation works
• make one lightweight variation from a PopiArt artifact or a stable image URL

Do not use it for:

• text-only generation
• mask-heavy multi-step retouch pipelines
• video generation

Required input

• prompt: the transformation intent
• one image source:
  • source_artifact_id, or
  • image_url, or
  • reference_image_url

Optional input

• strength
• style
• size
• aspect_ratio
• seed
• notes

Workflow

1. Prefer source_artifact_id when the source image already comes from PopiArt.
2. Use image_url or reference_image_url only when the source already lives at a stable URL.
3. Build the smallest valid JSON payload.
4. Run the skill through popiart.
5. Wait for completion and pull the output artifact if needed.

Command pattern

popiart run popiskill-image-img2img-basic-v1 --input @params.json --wait

Inline example:

popiart run popiskill-image-img2img-basic-v1 --input '{"prompt":"convert this into a watercolor illustration","source_artifact_id":"art_123","strength":0.6}' --wait

Payload template

{
  "prompt": "convert this into a watercolor illustration",
  "source_artifact_id": "art_123",
  "strength": 0.6,
  "style": "soft pastel",
  "aspect_ratio": "1:1",
  "seed": 42
}

Output handling

After the job finishes:

• read job_id
• inspect artifact_ids
• inspect url or media_id when a stable media URL is returned
• use popiart artifacts pull <artifact-id> to save the result locally

Operating guidance

• For local source files, upload first with popiart artifacts upload ./source.png --role source.
• reference_image_url is a compatibility alias for image_url.
• If no source image exists yet, switch to popiskill-image-text2image-basic-v1.
• If the user wants motion from the result, switch to popiskill-video-image2video-basic-v1.
