Desk Accessory Generator

Create desk accessories for the Claude Office Visualizer using Nano Banana MCP for AI image generation and ImageMagick for transparency and tinting preparation.

Philosophy: Tintable Variety

Desk accessories should be grayscale or white so they can be tinted with different colors at runtime. This allows a single sprite to represent many color variations across different desks, adding visual variety without generating multiple sprites.

Before generating, ask:

• Is this a unique item (one-of-a-kind) or a common item (appears on multiple desks)?
• If common: make it WHITE/GRAYSCALE for tinting
• If unique: colors can be baked in

Key Principle: White for Tinting

CRITICAL: Unless the item is unique (only appears once), generate it as WHITE or GRAYSCALE so it can be tinted programmatically.

Why this matters:

• A white coffee mug can become blue, pink, green, gold via tinting
• A red stapler can ONLY be red - no variety
• Tinting multiplies the sprite's colors with the tint color
• White (0xFFFFFF) × any tint = that tint color
• Gray gives shaded/dimensional tinting results

Key Principle: Facing Direction

CRITICAL: All desk items should face (away from the viewer). The game uses a top-down perspective where the user views characters and items from behind/above. Items should be oriented so their "front" faces away from the camera toward the top-left of the screen.
