File contents

Adobe Master Automator (v1.1.2)

A generalized skill for automating multiple Adobe applications using a cross-platform ExtendScript bridge.

Supported Applications

Photoshop
Illustrator
InDesign
Premiere Pro
After Effects

Commands

runScript

Executes raw ExtendScript (ES3) in the target application.

Parameters:

app: Target application (photoshop, illustrator, indesign, premiere, aftereffects).
script: The JSX code to execute.

🛠 AI Protocol

1. Technical Constraints

ES3 Syntax Only: Adobe apps use the ExtendScript (ES3) engine. Avoid modern JS features.
Target App Availability: Ensure the target application is installed and running (or able to launch) on the host system.

2. Security & Side Effects

[!CAUTION] High Risk Capability: The runScript command accepts and executes arbitrary ExtendScript (JSX) code. Attempting to restrict this would break the skill's core purpose, but users must be aware of the implications.

Filesystem Access: The Adobe ExtendScript engine has unrestricted access to the host filesystem via the File and Folder objects.
Untrusted Scripts: ❌ NEVER execute scripts from untrusted sources. A malicious script could delete files, exfiltrate data, or install persistent malware.
Verification: Always inspect the script parameter payload before allowing execution.

Setup

The skill automatically detects your operating system and routes commands to the appropriate application.

Windows: Uses built-in cscript (Windows Script Host).
macOS: Uses built-in osascript (AppleScript).
