Aura Asset Images (Unsplash-style)
Aura has a big searchable asset library at:
Use it like Unsplash: search by tag, pick 5 strong candidates, and return direct image URLs.
When to use this skill
- Use when the user needs stock-style image URLs from Aura's asset library at aura.build/assets, not local files or generated images.
- Use when searching by tag (
background,abstract,architecture,portrait,headshot) and returning 5 real candidate URLs per category. - Use when the user needs a specific resolution/aspect ratio (e.g. swapping
_800wfor_1600w, or cropping to 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16). - Use when the user needs cropping guidance for faces (eye placement) or backgrounds (negative space for text).
- Do NOT use this for Unsplash's own photo library — route that to
unsplash-asset-images, which searches unsplash.com instead of aura.build/assets.
How to search (fast)
- Open: https://www.aura.build/assets
- Use the search box or URL query:
https://www.aura.build/assets?q=<tag>&order=popular
- Tags that work well:
background,abstract,architecture,portrait,headshot
URL formats (what to return)
Aura thumbnails commonly look like:
https://hoirqrkdgbmvpwutwuwj.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/assets/<UUID>_800w.jpg
Higher-res (recommended)
Many images support a larger variant by swapping:
_800w→_1600w
Example:
- 800w:
.../<id>_800w.jpg - 1600w:
.../<id>_1600w.jpg
If a _1600w variant 404s, keep _800w and instruct the user to open the asset page and download/export.
Ratios (what to crop to)
- Avatars: 1:1 (square)
- Headshots: 4:5 or 3:4
- Website heroes / large backgrounds: 16:9
- Mobile wallpapers / stories: 9:16
Cropping tip:
- For faces, keep eyes ~1/3 from the top; avoid cutting chin/forehead.
- For backgrounds, preserve horizon lines and keep 30–50% negative space for text.
