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
- 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".
- Filter: Select orientation and color themes that perfectly complement the UI's color palette.
- Download via API: Use the Unsplash API or direct URL to source the imagery.
- 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.
Example
User request:

Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
FAQ
Can I use any photo from Unsplash?
Yes, Unsplash offers free photos for professional use. The key is to choose images that match the modern, high-quality style you're looking for.
What are 'artistic keywords'?
These are more creative and specific descriptions of what you're looking for, like 'minimalist architecture' instead of just 'building'.
Why optimize image size?
Downloading very large images can make your website or app slow. Optimizing ensures the photo looks good without harming performance.
