On-Brand Product Image

/image  Generates a product image in a consistent brand style you define once: setting, lighting, mood, colours.

Add to Sidekick

Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.

Personalize before you add

Values come from your store profile when set. Leave a field blank to keep the placeholder and fill it in Sidekick.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /image
Generate a [PRESET] image for [PRODUCT NAME] in this brand style: [BRAND STYLE].

## Steps
1. Open the product and use its existing images as the reference for the product's shape, colour and material. Do not change the product itself.
2. Apply the preset: "hero" means the product alone, centred, clean background from the brand palette, crisp detail; "lifestyle" means the product in a natural setting a customer would recognise, with one or two props at most and no text.
3. Keep the brand style rules for lighting, palette and mood exactly as stated. Do not add logos, text, watermarks or extra products.
4. Generate the image and show it. Ask whether to save it to the product's media. Only after a clear yes, add it as the last image, not the first.

## Output
The image, a one-line description of what was applied, then "Save to the product's media?"

Never replace an existing image. Never invent product details that are not visible in the reference images.
How to add it to Sidekick
  1. Click Add to Sidekick above. Your Shopify admin opens with the skill ready to review. Click Add. Done.
  2. If the button does nothing in your store: click Copy skill, open Sidekick in your admin, type /, choose Create new skill, name the shortcut image, paste the text as the instructions, and save.
  3. To run it, type /image in Sidekick. Sidekick keeps up to 25 skills; manage yours from the skills menu.

What you get

Generated images that look like they came from the same photoshoot, because the style is fixed in the skill rather than improvised each time.

When to use it

Filling gaps in product galleries, social posts, seasonal variants of a hero shot.

Variations

  • Save two skills: /image-hero and /image-lifestyle with the preset fixed, to skip the question.
  • “Square crop for Instagram” or “3:4 for the product grid”.

Limits

Generated images are not photographs of your actual stock. Use them for atmosphere and social, and keep real photos as the first image on product pages.
