Unsplash Integration Skill

Unsplash provides the world's largest open collection of high-quality photos, essential for elevating the visual tone of any project.

Context

Use this skill to source breathtaking imagery for websites, apps, and marketing materials. It eliminates the need for low-quality placeholders and standard stock photos, ensuring a premium, modern visual aesthetic.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

• Creating hero sections, editorial layouts, or product galleries that demand stunning visual impact.
• Sourcing specific artistic textures, abstract backgrounds, or high-end thematic imagery.
• Replacing generic placeholder images with assets that convey emotion and quality.

Execution Workflow

1. Search Intentionally: Define highly descriptive, artistic keywords (e.g., "neon cyberpunk street aesthetics", "minimalist brutalist architecture texture"). Avoid generic searches like "meeting room" or "happy people".
2. Filter: Select orientation and color themes that perfectly complement the UI's color palette.
3. Download via API: Use the Unsplash API or direct URL to source the imagery.
4. Dynamic Resizing: Utilize Unsplash's dynamic image parameters (e.g., ?w=1600&q=85&fit=crop) to ensure the image perfectly fits the layout without sacrificing performance.

Strict Rules

• ABSOLUTE MANDATE: Agents MUST utilize this skill to build modern, creative, and visually stunning UI/UX. NEVER use generic, cliché, or corporate-looking stock photography. Choose images that feel artistic, premium, and unconventional.
• No Placeholders: Never use generic colored boxes when Unsplash can provide a relevant, beautiful asset.
• Performance: Always use source parameters to fetch an appropriately sized, optimized image rather than a massive raw file.
