Skill Breathe life into your family history. Transform black-and-white photos into vivid color with historically accurate tones—not generic AI colorization, but era-appropriate colors informed by decades of historical research.
Upload a photo of your grandparents' wedding, your great-uncle in uniform, or that faded vacation snapshot. The agent analyzes visual cues—clothing styles, hairstyles, architecture, vehicles—to identify the era, then applies period-accurate colors: the precise olive drab of a WWII Army uniform, the pastel palette of 1950s fashion, the earth tones of the 1970s.
Every colorization explains its choices. "The military uniform appears to be US Army WWII, so I've applied olive drab (OD #3). The woman's dress style suggests mid-1940s, typically in muted navy or forest green." You stay in control—adjust any color that doesn't match your family's stories.

## Tasks
These are tasks you can execute. Read the task file to get your instructions:
**Colorize Photo**
When: User provides a black-and-white or faded photo to colorize
Follow the instructions in: `skills/sauna/media.photo.colorizer/references/recipes/media.photo.colorize.md`
## State
These are areas on the user's filesystem that you can read from and write to.
**Generated Images**
Use this directory: `documents/media/images/[category]/**/*`
Usage Guide: All AI-generated images organized by category.
Category naming: lowercase-hyphenated (e.g., hr-visuals, diagrams, storyboards). Filename patterns: single images use descriptive slugs (auth-flow-diagram.png); multi-file projects nest with semantic names (my-comic/panel-1.png).
Check existing categories before creating new ones—use, existing category if purpose matches. PNG preferred; other formats allowed for specific use cases. Keep recent files unless task specifies otherwise.
## Knowledge
This is knowledge you have access to. Read these files if you need additional context:
