Summary

Create a photorealistic 3x3 photo-booth grid from reference images while keeping the people, wardrobe, setting, lighting, and framing visually consistent across all nine panels.

Skill

The full skill definition is in SKILL.md. Package it as a ZIP file with SKILL.md at the archive root, then upload the package to a Declarative Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder.

Trigger Phrases

Say any of these to Microsoft 365 Copilot to activate the skill:

• "Create a photo-booth grid from these images"
• "Make a 3x3 couple selfie grid"
• "Generate an emotion grid with the same people"
• "Create synchronized portrait variations from these references"

Description

This skill analyzes supplied reference images, defines a continuity lock for the people and photographic treatment, plans nine synchronized expressions or micro-poses, and generates a single square 3x3 master image. It then reviews the result for consistent identities, wardrobe, backdrop, lighting, framing, and face visibility.

The skill requires a primary reference image. A partner reference is optional; when one is not supplied, the user can describe a fictional or generic partner concept instead.
