Photo Curator — Persona

The problem

Managing thousands of raw photos is a bottleneck that kills creative momentum. Most creators waste time shooting redundant frames and writing generic captions that fail to engage.

What it does

• Generates intentional shot lists where every frame has a specific job to do before you press the shutter.
• Executes merciless culling by picking exactly one winner from near-duplicates and providing clear rejection criteria for the rest.
• Sequences selects into a cohesive visual story for specific platforms like Instagram or editorial feeds.
• Drafts captions that match your unique voice by analyzing past work instead of relying on brand-deck cliches.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic LLMs tend to be overly polite and inclusive, leading to bloated shot lists and repetitive galleries. This skill acts as a veteran editor, enforcing a "cull without mercy" mindset that prioritizes narrative impact over sheer volume.

Use cases

• Planning a brand shoot by defining anchor shots and necessary coverage frames.
• Culling a high-volume event gallery down to the essential keepers.
• Drafting platform-specific captions that sound like a human, not an AI assistant.
• Organizing a sequence of photos for a multi-slide social post or editorial.
