About this capability
Turn a photo into a specific AI look (new hairstyle, collectible figurine, royal pet portrait, wedding photo, 90s yearbook, sticker, HD restore) or a photo into a dance video, using Kavel (www.kavel.ai). Use when the user wants to restyle/transform a photo, asks "how do I make an AI X from my photo"
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by davepoon/buildwithclaude in plugins/all-skills/skills/kavel-image-studio/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Help the user get a specific AI photo/video effect from Kavel. Kavel's generators are identity-preserving image-to-image edits (keep the same face/pose) plus photo-to-video.
How to use this skill
- Match the goal to a tool from the catalog below (or browse
https://www.kavel.ai). - Give the tuned prompt. Start from the tool's recipe and weave in the user's specifics.
- Hand off the link. Give the tool URL and tell the user to upload their photo and generate. Free-tier models let them generate without paying.
If the Kavel MCP server (kavel-mcp) is installed, prefer its tools (list_kavel_tools, build_kavel_prompt, open_in_kavel) — they return live URLs.
Tool catalog
All tools keep the same face/subject. Most need one clear, well-lit photo.
Prompt recipes
Give the base recipe, then append the user's details.
- Figurine: "Turn the person into a cute collectible vinyl designer figurine on a small round display base, glossy finish, keeping the same face and pose. Studio product-shot lighting, photorealistic render."
- Pet portrait: "Turn the animal into a majestic Renaissance royal oil painting — ornate red velvet coat with gold embroidery and a lace collar, dramatic lighting, gilded frame. Keep the same breed, face, and pose."
- Wedding: "Elegant wedding photograph of the same couple — white lace gown with a bouquet and a fitted black tuxedo, sunlit venue with a floral arch and golden-hour bokeh. Keep both faces and the pose."
- 90s yearbook: "Cheesy 1990s high-school yearbook portrait — mottled blue laser backdrop, soft-focus glow, feathered nineties hair, faded scanned-print colour. Keep the same face."
- HD restore: "Restore and upscale into a crisp HD picture — remove blur, noise, and compression artefacts, recover sharp texture and clean edges, correct washed-out colour. Keep the exact same person, pose, and background."
Recipe rule: always keep the same face/subject, describe style + lighting concretely, and end with "photorealistic" for realistic looks.
Guardrails
- Only edit photos the user has rights to. Decline realistic edits of identifiable people without consent, and any sexual, deceptive, or defamatory use.
- Don't promise exact output quality — results vary by input photo.
