## Image Creation Workflow

### Mode 1: AI Image Generation

Use the `generate_image` tool for:

1. **Logos & Branding**:

   ```
   Prompt: "Modern minimalist logo for [project name], clean lines, tech-inspired,
   gradient from blue to purple, suitable for dark and light backgrounds"
   ```

2. **UI Mockups**:

   ```
   Prompt: "Clean modern dashboard interface, dark theme, sidebar navigation,
   data charts, metrics cards, glassmorphism style, professional SaaS design"
   ```

3. **Marketing Banners**:

   ```
   Prompt: "GitHub repository banner, modern gradient background,
   project name '[name]' in bold typography, tech icons, 1200x300px"
   ```

4. **Illustrations**:

   ```
   Prompt: "Flat illustration of [concept], modern tech style,
   vibrant colors, clean vector art, suitable for documentation"
   ```

5. **Icons & Assets**:
   ```
   Prompt: "Set of 6 modern flat icons for [features], consistent style,
   rounded corners, gradient fills, 64x64px each"
   ```

### Mode 2: Technical Diagrams

1. **System Architecture** (C4 Context):

   ```bash
   python .agent/skills/system-diagrammer/scripts/diagram.py --type c4 --title "System Architecture"
   ```

2. **Sequence Diagram**:

   ```bash
   python .agent/skills/system-diagrammer/scripts/diagram.py --type sequence --title "Auth Flow"
   ```

3. **Inline Mermaid** (for markdown docs):

   ```mermaid
   graph TB
       A[User] --> B[Frontend]
       B --> C[API Gateway]
       C --> D[Auth Service]
       C --> E[Core Service]
       D --> F[(Database)]
       E --> F
   ```

4. **ER Diagram** (for database docs):
   ```mermaid
   erDiagram
       USER ||--o{ ORDER : places
       ORDER ||--|{ LINE_ITEM : contains
       PRODUCT ||--o{ LINE_ITEM : "is in"
   ```

### Mode 3: Design System Generation

1. **Generate color palette**:

   ```bash
   python .agent/skills/color-palette-generator/scripts/palette_gen.py --style "modern dark"
   ```

2. **Generate design tokens**:

   ```bash
   python .agent/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/design_system.py --query "SaaS Dashboard" --format css
   ```

3. **User flow wireframe**:
   ```bash
   python .agent/skills/product-designer/scripts/designer.py --action flow --feature "checkout"
   ```

## Best Practices for Image Prompts

| Element        | Tip                                                 |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Style**      | Specify: flat, 3D, minimalist, realistic, isometric |
| **Colors**     | Name specific colors or palettes                    |
| **Dimensions** | Mention aspect ratio: 16:9, 1:1, banner             |
| **Context**    | "for dark background", "for mobile app", etc.       |
| **No text**    | AI-generated text is often wrong — add text later   |
| **Iterate**    | Start broad, then refine with more specific prompts |

## Output Formats

| Type           | Format            | Tool                      |
| -------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------- |
| AI Images      | PNG/WebP          | `generate_image`          |
| Diagrams       | Mermaid (SVG/PNG) | `system-diagrammer`       |
| Color Palettes | CSS/JSON          | `color-palette-generator` |
| Design Tokens  | CSS/JSON/Figma    | `ui-ux-pro-max`           |
| Wireframes     | Markdown/Mermaid  | `product-designer`        |

## Rules

- **⚡ SINGLE REQUEST ONLY**: Execute `generate_image` **EXACTLY ONCE**. The image generation is asynchronous.
- **⏳ WAIT FOR RESULT**: The image will appear in the chat history. **DO NOT** retry getting the image immediately. Wait for the system/user to confirm receipt.
- **⛔ ERROR HANDLING**: If `generate_image` fails (503, 400, etc.), **STOP**. Report the error. Do NOT loop.
- **Prompt quality = output quality** — be specific with descriptions.
- **Consistent style** — maintain visual consistency across project assets.
- **Accessible** — ensure sufficient contrast, avoid color-only information.
- **License-aware** — AI-generated images should be noted as such.
