Example outputUnder the hood
What happens when you run it
You write a line. The agent does the rest — it studies this skill's guide, expands your idea into a full production brief, and runs the tools itself.
- Step 1
Reads the Media Failure Recovery playbook
All 10 parts of the guide — 1. Classify from the error, never from the vibe, 2. Input policy and output safety are different layers and more.
- Step 2
Writes the full brief
Turns your one line into a detailed, in-style prompt — about as rich as the 83-word example.
- Step 3
Runs the right tools
Generate image, Edit image, Generate video — chosen and called by the agent, not by you.
- Step 4
Delivers to your album
Your results land in Create, ready to edit, remix or animate.
About this skill
Diagnose a failed image or video generation from its actual error and retry with the smallest change that will pass. Use after any provider error, moderation or content-policy block, black or blank output, invalid reference, unsupported resolution or duration, timeout, or a repeated failure the user is frustrated by.

Starter prompt
83 wordsThe exact brief that produced the image above — the level of detail the agent writes for you from a single line.
Two large instant photo prints lying on a warm off-white paper surface, shot from directly above and filling the frame. The left print shows a flat soft grey rectangle with a thin amber ring drawn on it. A short amber arrow leads to the right print, which shows a bright sunlit alpine lake in full colour. Soft even daylight from the upper left, delicate shadows under both prints, warm off-white ground, a single amber accent, bright and high key, no text, no lettering.
