Skill by Mage · Recreate

Recreate the look of any image

Your agent reads the reference the way the Recreate app does (composition, subject, style, light, camera, materials, color, and mood) and writes it as one prompt. Run it on Mango 3 as is, or with your own subject swapped in.

Recreate the look of this photo with an older man reading a newspaper instead.

Here’s the prompt, written from the photo with the subject swapped: “A warm, natural-light portrait inside a bright Scandinavian-style cafe… an older man with gray hair reading a folded newspaper…” It’s ready to generate: Mango 3 at 2K, 135 Gems. Starting it now.

Generating with Mango 3 at 2K, 4:5

Here it is (Mango 3, 135 Gems): a new image in the same light, palette, and framing. The prompt is yours to reuse.

Examples

A look, not a copy

The reference is never sent to the model. The result is a new image made from the prompt alone.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it the same as the Recreate app?

Yes. The skill sends the Recreate app’s own prompt with the same models and defaults, so your agent gets the app’s results from a chat, and can run it on many images in one go.

Does it copy the reference image?

No. Only the prompt goes to the model, so the result is a new image in the same look. To stay closer to the reference, use it as an input with the Generate skill instead.

Can I copy a famous artwork or a real person?

No. Recreate copies a look, and the prompt never names real people, living artists, brands, or characters.

Which agents can use it?

Any agent that can see images, since the prompt comes from looking at the reference. Claude can read an image attached to the chat for this skill.

How much does it cost?

The skill is free and open source. Each generation it starts is paid in Gems from your Mage account at the model’s listed price, and your assistant quotes the total before it creates anything.
