Look Up Pose — Open Skill

Look Up Pose

Soft studio light, a tighter frame. was: I keep the same adult portrait and wardrobe in close-up. now: I re-pose the subject with an upward gaze, clean editorial finish, and a soft gloss, not glitter spam. One clear adult photo -> a 3:4 portrait with the subject looking upward. Options: portrait orientation, 3:4.

# Look Up Pose

A dreamier angle on the same face: the portrait is re-posed so they gaze upward under soft overhead light, as if something wonderful just appeared above.

## When to use

- The user wants the person in their portrait re-posed to look upward (upward gaze, looking-up angle shot, dreamy sky-gazing pose)
- A variation on a previous result: another color or fabric

Not for: Video output (use a video skill).

## Inputs and gates

| Input | Required | Default | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | Yes | — | One adult with the face clearly visible. Ask for another photo if the face is tiny, blurred, heavily covered or in profile |
| Orientation | No | `3:4` portrait | Other ratios on request |

- If the person may be under 18, stop and decline politely. Real-person photos must be of adults the user has the right to use.
- Fashion, dark and horror themes are fine as stills; refuse explicit sexual content and anything sexualizing minors.

## Steps

1. Read `references/image-edit.md` for prompt structure.
2. **Identity read**: `recognize_image(image_url=<photo>, prompt='Describe this adult for identity preservation: face shape, eye shape and color, brows, nose, lips, skin tone, apparent age range, hair color and length, distinctive marks, glasses. One compact line.')`.
3. **Generate**: `generate_image(prompt=<PROMPT>, input_urls=[photo], model='i2i.hd', orientation='portrait', aspect_ratio='3:4', name='Look Up Pose', entity_type='skill_generation')`. Merge the user's details and options into the template.
4. **Self-check, one retry**: look at the result. If a person photo was used and the face no longer reads as the same person, regenerate with the identity clause first. If someone glancing at it would not instantly see the intended change (it reads as a light filter, the old clothes or background remain, or the style is faint), regenerate once with the change described bigger and more concretely.
5. Reply in one or two sentences, e.g. "Your look up pose is ready. Want another take with another color or fabric?" Results appear on the canvas; never paste URLs.

## Prompt templates

**PROMPT**

```text
The same adult from the reference: <identity line>. Same face structure, eyes, skin tone and recognizable likeness; no beautification or face reshaping. Intentional changes: the same person re-posed looking upward with the chin raised and eyes toward the sky, seen from a slightly low camera angle, soft overhead light, simple background. <user details and options>. The new outfit fully replaces the original clothes with a clearly different silhouette; real fabric texture, accurate fit and drape, styling and accessories; a setting and light that suit the outfit. Lighting and materials described concretely; composition suited to portrait 3:4. Photoreal unless the style says otherwise, fully clothed, no text unless requested.
```

Quality bar: Make the new outfit read as real fabric: bold silhouette change from the original clothes, named materials and textures, hero lighting, and a scene that suits the outfit (not the selfie background).

## Failure handling

- `success=false`: say what failed in one sentence; retry once only if transient; never invent links.
- The face changes: regenerate once with the identity clause first; then say so honestly.

## Examples

**Default**: the user says "here's my selfie, do it" with a photo. Use the tuned defaults, 3:4. Reply: "Your look up pose is ready."
**Variation**: "love it, make another". Keep the same inputs and change one option (another color or fabric).
**Missing input**: no photo was sent. Ask: "Send one clear photo where your face is easy to see, and I'll start."
