Use to write great prompts for Ideogram (Ideogram 4.0) to generate design-grade images for social media — the image-prompt-craft mini-skill for typography + layout, sibling to nano-banana under the image-prompt router. Run when the user wants an Ideogram / AI image prompt where TEXT and LAYOUT matter: quote cards, carousel covers, posters, logos/wordmark concepts, signage, ads with headlines, or any image that must say words correctly. Reads brand-profile for style/palette. Ideogram's standouts: best-in-class in-image text rendering, structured JSON prompting (bounding boxes, hex palettes), native 2K, transparency, and Layerize Text. Also covers the Ideogram app-editor workflow (Canvas, Magic Fill, Extend, Style References). Honest: review rendered text, disclose AI images and sign with C2PA, never generate real identifiable people or copyrighted characters/IP/logos.

Ideogram (image prompt craft)

Write prompts that get design-grade images with correct text and deliberate layout out of Ideogram (Ideogram 4.0). This is the prompt-craft layer of a three-layer setup, and the typography/layout sibling to nano-banana under the image-prompt router.

Connection/API (per-image pricing, MCP, the generate → upload to WoopSocial Media → attach flow) → tools/integrations/ideogram.md.
Prompt craft (this skill) → how to direct the right asset well.
Router → image-prompt picks the tool for the job.

This skill covers both lanes: generation prompt-craft (below) and the Ideogram app-editor workflow (Canvas, Magic Fill, Extend, Style References, Magic Prompt, Layerize) — for in-editor work, see references/app-editor-and-canvas.md. Re-verify model/specs quarterly.

Reach for Ideogram when… (match the job)

Its real strengths: in-image text rendering (the standout — legible, correct typography), deterministic layout (bounding-box placement), brand-accurate color (hex palettes), native 2K, and transparency (Background Remover). Reach elsewhere for conversational edits / pure photoreal scenes (→ nano-banana) or specific art house looks (→ the photoreal branch). Don't default it to every image. (Details: references/when-and-how-to-prompt.md.)

Step 0 — Read the brand + the job

Load brand-profile.md (palette as hex, type feel, do/don't). Identify the job (quote card / carousel cover / poster / logo concept / ad / signage) and the aspect ratio (4:5, 9:16, 1:1).

Step 1 — Direct a layout, not just a scene

Describe like a designer: subject/scene/style · text elements (exact string + styling + placement) · hex palette · layout/hierarchy · format (2K, aspect). Don't bury copy in a vague sentence. Ground in the brand. See references/when-and-how-to-prompt.md.

Step 2 — Use the superpower: structured JSON

Ideogram 4.0 is JSON-native. For exact, repeatable layout/text/color, write structured JSON: per-element bounding boxes, hex palette (up to ~16), and each text element's **literal string

visual styling**. Casual input works via magic-prompt (it expands to JSON). See references/json-prompting-and-layout.md.

Step 3 — Text, transparency, recipes

Text: ~0.97 OCR, multilingual, multi-line, logos/signage — but review every render.
Transparency: Background Remover → clean alpha cutout. Layerize Text (live, beta) turns rendered text into editable layers — restyle/rewrite copy without regenerating; works best on clear, straight type. 2K output; aspect ratios in multiples of 16.
Pick a recipe (quote card, carousel cover, logo concept, ad, poster). See references/text-rendering-and-recipes.md.

Step 4 — Iterate cheaply, then verify, disclose, ship

Iterate on Turbo / magic-prompt to lock layout; finalize on Quality with refined JSON. Per-image pricing — prompt/layout precision is the cost + quality lever.
Verify the rendered text and composition before publishing.
Disclose AI images (EU AI Act Article 50, California AB 853) and sign with C2PA; never pass an AI image off as a real photo. Open weights are non-commercial (commercial → plan/API).
Ship: generate per the integration guide → upload to WoopSocial Media → attach via scheduling-and-queue. WoopSocial doesn't generate images.

Quality bar — self-check

Did I match the tool to the job (route conversational/photoreal to nano-banana)?
Are text elements typed (exact string + styling + placement), with a hex palette and 2K/ aspect set, brand-grounded?
Did I use JSON where layout/text precision matters (and magic-prompt for casual)?
Did I plan iterate-cheap → finalize, and verify the rendered text?
Did I handle disclosure + C2PA, non-commercial license, and refuse real people / IP / logos?
Did I point to tools/integrations/ideogram.md for the API + WoopSocial flow (no claim WoopSocial generates images)?

Edge cases & pushback

"Exact headline + brand colors + placement" → structured JSON (bounding boxes + hex palette).
Conversational "now change the background" → route to nano-banana; Ideogram is layout-first.
Real person / copyrighted IP or logo / "post as a real photo" → refuse; disclose + C2PA; offer an original/owned alternative.
"Editable text layers" → Layerize Text is live (beta, all plans + API endpoint**)** — best on clear, straight standard type; curved/decorative text may not be detected.
"Generate it in WoopSocial" → WoopSocial doesn't generate; this prompts Ideogram, then the image is uploaded to Media and attached.
Long paragraph of text in-image → keep lines short, hierarchy clear; verify the render.

tools/integrations/ideogram.md — API/pricing/MCP, the upload-to-WoopSocial flow.
image-prompt — the router; nano-banana — the conversational/photoreal image sibling.
brand-profile — the visual brand; carousel-writer, caption-writer, hook-writer — copy that pairs with the asset; veo-3 — animate a still into video (image-to-video).
scheduling-and-queue — attach the image to a post and publish.

ai-image-editing

social-media-skills/skills

The AI image-editing router — inpainting/object removal, background removal, upscaling, outpainting, old-photo restoration, and retouch, routed task-first to the right engine. Use when someone wants to remove an object/person from a photo, cut out backgrounds, upscale an image, extend an image to new aspect ratios, restore an old photo, fix a generated image, or asks which editing tool to use. Uses the TOUCH framework. Reads brand-profile + design-and-templates first. The agent names the task, routes to the right engine, writes the spec, and can call APIs where connected; the HUMAN judges every result at 100%; WoopSocial publishes. Honesty spine: an edited real photo is an edited claim — creative upscalers hallucinate detail (never on products/documents), no defect concealment, body-retouch disclosure honored, no watermark/provenance stripping. Distinct from image-prompt/flux/nano-banana (generation), canva (the design workflow), and before-after-and-transformation (the claim rules).

ai-music-and-sound

social-media-skills/skills

The AI music + sound-design skill for social -- original/licensed audio beds and sound design for Reels/TikToks/Shorts/videos. Use when someone needs background music, a track, or sound effects for a social video, asks which AI music tool is safe to use, or asks "can I use this trending sound/song on my brand video?". The real brief is "audio that won't get muted, claimed, or sued," so it picks the safest licensed source and never uses copyrighted or trending music without a license. Uses the SCORE framework. Reads brand-profile + the video it scores first. The agent briefs the music + sound design, picks the safest licensed source (ElevenLabs Music/SFX or stock libraries over Suno/Udio; paid tier for commercial rights), and advises licensing/Content-ID/disclosure. The tool generates/licenses the audio; the creator bakes it in; WoopSocial publishes the video and does NOT generate music. Pure AI music may not be copyrightable; never "100% legally safe." Pairs with ai-voiceover.

ai-search-optimization

social-media-skills/skills

Use to get a brand and its content CITED and RECOMMENDED by AI answer engines — the GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) / AI-search-visibility skill. Run when the user says "GEO," "get cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/Google AI," "ChatGPT SEO," "LLM SEO / LLMO," "AI Overviews," "answer engine optimization (AEO)," "will AI recommend my brand," or wants to show up in AI-generated answers, not just the feed or Google links. Reads brand-profile and audience first. AI engines retrieve + fan-out and cite community/social sources heavily (Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia); platforms disagree; earned media beats product pages; extractable, fresh content drives citation. Covers the four GEO levers (retrievable, earned mentions, extractable content, entity clarity), authentic social plays, and the manual prompt-audit method. Refuses astroturfing; never fabricates "share of voice." Sibling of social-seo (platform + Google search). Judges via the audit + GEO tools + AI referral traffic.

before-after-and-transformation

social-media-skills/skills

The transformation / before-after content format — structure a credible, honest, satisfying transformation (fitness, beauty, business results, skill progress, makeovers, client glow-ups, product before/after). Use when someone wants a before/after, a transformation post, a client-results reveal, a progress/journey story, or a makeover. Most powerful format AND most abused/distrusted — honesty is the edge; FTC enforcement is live. Uses the SHIFT framework. Reads brand-profile + social-proof-and-testimonials (consent + FTC substantiation) + short-form-video-script first. Agent structures + specs; human/tool produces the real media; WoopSocial publishes. Never stages/exaggerates the before, hides aids, cherry-picks, or fabricates a result; "results not typical" alone is insufficient — disclose the actual typical result; consent + YMYL required. Distinct from social-proof-and-testimonials, short-form-video- script, infographic-and-data-viz, and storytelling-and-narrative.

behind-the-scenes-and-founder

social-media-skills/skills

The transparency content type — turn what's actually happening inside the business into founder/personal-brand content that builds trust: build-in-public updates, founder story, how-it's-made content, team culture, and honest struggle posts. Use when someone wants behind the scenes, build in public, founder content, a personal brand post, or a day in the life. People follow people — founder-voice content out-performs brand-page content because it's specific and true. Uses the REVEAL framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first. The agent finds the real moment, sharpens specifics + stakes, checks the transparency tier (share vs never: customer data, team conflicts, legal), and frames it in founder-voice; the human owns the reveal permanently; WoopSocial publishes. Never fabricates a struggle, performs vulnerability for reach, or exposes customer/team/legal matters. Distinct from contrarian-and-opinion, storytelling-and-narrative, social-proof, and the format writers.

campaign-and-launch-planning

social-media-skills/skills

Plan and orchestrate a product launch or social media campaign end to end — the multi-week arc, channel by channel. Use when someone wants to plan a launch, product drop, campaign, big announcement, waitlist/pre-launch push, or coordinated multi-platform moment. Plans a time-boxed campaign as ONE story across three phases (tease -> launch -> sustain) toward a single goal, and schedules the coordinated social posts via WoopSocial. Uses the STORY framework. Reads brand-profile + goals-and-kpis first. WoopSocial schedules + publishes the social posts on the timeline; the waitlist/hub, email sequence, checkout, paid ads, press/creator outreach, and livestream are external/native, and conversion/ROI come from native analytics + the store (never fabricated). Urgency must be credible (no fake countdowns/scarcity). Distinct from content-calendar (the ongoing always-on cadence) and goals-and-kpis (the targets a campaign serves).
