upscale-image is an agent skill that upscales or enhances images via the Pilio CLI for AI super-resolution and clarity improvement.
About
The upscale-image skill increases image resolution and clarity using the Pilio developer API through the official @pilio/cli SDK. It requires PILIO_API_KEY in the environment and instructs agents not to ask users to paste keys into chat. The workflow runs pnpm dlx @pilio/cli upscale-image with an input image path, receives a task payload, and polls with task wait when status is pending or processing. Online testing is available at pilio.ai/image-upscaler before CLI use. The skill targets AI super-resolution and automated image enhancement integrated into agent media workflows. Upload, task creation, and polling stay aligned with the official SDK patterns consistent with other Pilio image skills. Use when users want higher resolution images, AI upscaling, clarity improvement, or automated enhancement through Pilio.
