Aesthetic Routing

The art skill supports multiple visual identities. Before generating any visual, determine which aesthetic applies.

How to Select an Aesthetic

1. Check if the user specifies a brand/project (e.g., "my-brand icon", "acme newsletter header")
2. Check for content-type exceptions (see Content-Type Override Rules below)
3. Check if the target output has a site-specific style guide (e.g., HERO-IMAGE-TEMPLATE.md)
4. If no brand specified, use the default aesthetic

Content-Type Override Rules

CRITICAL: Some content types intentionally use different aesthetics than their host site.

Content Type	Detection Pattern	Aesthetic to Use	DO NOT Use
Satirical/Parody Content	User explicitly says "satire", "parody", "joke product"	Match the satire target's aesthetic (e.g., corporate B2B for business parody)	Host site's aesthetic
Easter Eggs	Path contains easter-eggs/, explicitly marked as easter egg	Depends on easter egg theme, ask user if unclear	Host site's default

Rule: When content-type override detected, DO NOT check host site style guides. The content is intentionally divergent.

Base Prompt Prefix Standard (MANDATORY)

Every aesthetic MUST define a Base Prompt Prefix — a locked consistency block that gets prepended to every image generation prompt for that aesthetic. This ensures visual cohesion across a set of illustrations.

What the prefix locks down:

• Line weight and quality
• Background treatment
• Camera angle / perspective
• Fill ratio (illustration vs. whitespace)
• Color balance percentages
• Shadow intensity and direction
• Text treatment (if applicable)

Where to find each prefix:

• Each aesthetic file (.md) contains a "Base Prompt Prefix" section with the locked values
• Project-specific aesthetics (e.g., lead magnet ) inherit from their parent brand and override only what changes
