Build graphics with AI
The lumora-ograf skill teaches AI coding assistants how to build graphics for Lumora. Give your assistant reference material (screenshots, a brand guide, a video of the motion you want, a template from another platform) and it will:
- Ask you the questions your material doesn't answer (resolutions, which parts change, animation style, operator controls).
- Build the graphic as an OGraf template, the open standard Lumora uses.
- Open a local preview that runs Lumora's own graphic host and control form, where you can take the graphic, step through it, change the data, switch resolutions and pin notes on anything you want changed.
- Check it against Lumora's upload rules and package it as a
.zipready to upload.
Graphics you make with the skill are yours, including for commercial work.
What you need
- An AI assistant that supports Agent Skills: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and many others.
- Node.js 18 or newer on your computer. The preview, checker and packager are small Node scripts with nothing else to install.
- A Lumora plan that includes template uploads.
Install
Ask your assistant
In your assistant, say:
Install the Lumora OGraf skill from https://docs.lumora.live/skills/install
It follows the steps in For AI assistants below. Start a new session afterwards so the skill loads.
By hand
- Download lumora-ograf.zip.
- Unzip it into your project. It contains one folder,
lumora-ograf:- For Claude Code:
.claude/skills/lumora-ograf/ - For Codex, Cursor, Copilot and Gemini CLI:
.agents/skills/lumora-ograf/ - Using more than one assistant? Put a copy in both.
- To use it in every project, unzip into
~/.claude/skills/or~/.agents/skills/in your home folder instead.
- For Claude Code:
- Start a new session in your assistant.
Claude.ai: you can upload the zip under Customize → Skills. Claude can then plan and write graphics with you, but the local preview and scripts need your own computer, so we recommend Claude Code for building.
Using it
Describe the graphic you want and share your material. For example:
Make a lower third for our esports show from these screenshots and our brand guide. It needs to work at 1080p and vertical 9:16.
The assistant keeps notes in a brief.md file, builds the graphic in its own folder and gives you a preview link. Use Add note in the preview to point at anything you'd like changed, then tell the assistant you've left notes. When you're happy it produces a .zip.
To add it to Lumora, click Assets at the top of the page, open the User Templates tab and upload the zip. See Uploading a template.
Updates
The assistant checks for a newer version of the skill at the start of a session and asks before updating. You can also download the zip above again at any time. The current version and release notes are in version.json.
Licence
The example graphics and code snippets in the skill are MIT No Attribution: copy them freely. The rest of the skill is under the PolyForm Shield 1.0.0 licence: use it for any work, including paid work, except building a product that competes with Lumora. Full terms are in LICENSE.md inside the zip.
For AI assistants
Install steps for an AI agent asked to install this skill. Ask the user whether to install for this project only (default) or for all projects, and which assistants they use.
- Fetch
https://docs.lumora.live/skills/version.json. It holdsversion,url(the versioned zip, relative to the site) andsha256. - Download the zip from
urland check its SHA-256 matchessha256. Don't install on a mismatch. - The zip contains a single top-level folder
lumora-ograf/. Extract it into each target skills folder:- Claude Code:
<project>/.claude/skills/(or~/.claude/skills/) - Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and other Agent Skills clients:
<project>/.agents/skills/(or~/.agents/skills/)
- Claude Code:
- Replace an existing
lumora-ograf/folder completely rather than merging into it, so removed files don't linger. - Confirm
<skills folder>/lumora-ograf/SKILL.mdexists, then tell the user to start a new session so the skill is loaded.
