Creative — Generative Polish

Turn a selected draft into a final, production-ready asset. This is the LAST stage — it only runs on an already-chosen visual. Polishing before a concept is locked wastes effort; this skill assumes the creative direction is settled and now it's about execution quality.

When to use

A concept has been chosen (from explore/scene/shot/ads/offer) and needs finishing.
An image has fixable flaws: artifacts, bad hands/text, off composition, wrong aspect.
Conforming a winner to final delivery specs (size, ratio, color).

When NOT to use

The concept isn't locked yet — polishing many candidates is wasteful; lock first.
You need new concepts → the relevant explorer skill.
The image is fundamentally wrong (bad composition at the core) — regenerate upstream instead of patching.

Inputs (ask only what's missing)

The selected source image (path or reference).
Target spec: final aspect/size, where it'll be used, brand constraints.
What to improve — specific issues, or run a full pass.

Workflow

Diagnose the source. List concrete issues: artifacts, extra fingers/garbled text, composition imbalance, color cast, soft focus, wrong aspect, distracting background.
Decide per issue: edit (inpaint/region fix via an image-edit tool) when only a region is wrong — it keeps the rest stable; regenerate (re-prompt with stronger constraints + source as reference) when the issue is structural.
Apply passes in order: structural fixes → composition/crop → color grade → text legibility → final sharpen/export. Save iterations to ./creative/polish/<NN>.png so you can roll back.
Conform to final aspect/size for the target medium.
Show before/after and confirm it meets spec.

Worked example

Source: chosen hero from creative-shot, but has a duplicated keycap, blurry legend text, slightly cool cast, and is 1:1 but the hero slot needs 16:9.

issues: [duplicated keycap top-row] [legend text soft] [too cool ~-300K] [need 1792x1024]
passes:
 1. edit (inpaint): remove duplicate keycap, rebuild row — region fix, rest untouched
 2. regen-region: sharpen legend text, pass exact legends verbatim
 3. grade: warm +250K, lift shadows slightly
 4. crop/extend to 1792x1024 (outpaint left/right of product)
before: ./creative/shot/hero-34.png   after: ./creative/polish/hero-final.png
verify: keycaps correct, text crisp, neutral-warm, 1792x1024 ✓
