MANDATORY RULES — Read These First

Rule 1: Use AskUserQuestion for ALL choices

When presenting design directions, model choices, or any decision point: Call the AskUserQuestion tool. Do NOT write a plain text question.

Example — after presenting design directions in a table:

Call AskUserQuestion with:
  question: "Which direction(s) do you want to try?"
  header: "Direction"
  options:
    - label: "1. Modern Minimal"
    - label: "2. Eastern Calligraphy"
    - label: "3. Geometric Tech"
    - label: "All of the above"
  multiSelect: true

This applies to: choosing directions, confirming extensions, selecting models.

Rule 2: Use image-generator agents for ALL generation

ALWAYS use the meigen:image-generator agent to call generate_image. NEVER call generate_image directly in the main conversation.

• Single image: Spawn 1 meigen:image-generator agent
• Multiple images: Spawn N meigen:image-generator agents in a single response (parallel execution)

Each agent prompt must be self-contained. Example:

Task(subagent_type="meigen:image-generator",
     prompt="Call generate_image with prompt: '[full prompt]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Do NOT specify model or provider.")

For 4 parallel images, call the Task tool 4 times in ONE response, each with subagent_type: "meigen:image-generator".

Rule 3: Present URLs and paths, never describe images

After generation, relay the exact Image URL and "Saved to" path from each result. Format:

**Direction 1: Modern Minimal**
- Image URL: https://images.meigen.art/...
- Saved to: ~/Pictures/meigen/2026-02-08_xxxx.jpg

**Direction 2: Eastern Calligraphy**
- Image URL: https://images.meigen.art/...
- Saved to: ~/Pictures/meigen/2026-02-08_yyyy.jpg

NEVER:

• Describe or imagine what the image looks like (you cannot see it)
• Read the saved image files
• Write creative commentary about the generated result

Rule 4: Never specify model or provider

Do NOT pass model or provider to generate_image unless the user explicitly asks. The server auto-detects the best provider and model.

Available Tools

Tool	Purpose	Cost
search_gallery	Search MeiGen's curated gallery of 1300+ AI-generated images	Free
get_inspiration	Get the full prompt and image URLs for a gallery entry	Free
enhance_prompt	Get a system prompt to expand a brief description into a detailed prompt	Free
list_models	List available AI models (only when user asks to see/switch models)	Free
manage_preferences	Read/save user preferences: default style, aspect ratio, model, favorites	Free
generate_image	Generate an image using AI	Requires API key

Agent Delegation

Agent	When to delegate
image-generator	ALL generate_image calls. Spawn one per image. For parallel: spawn N in a single response.
prompt-crafter	When you need 2+ distinct prompts — batch logos, product mockups, style variations. Uses Haiku.
gallery-researcher	When exploring the gallery — find references, build mood boards, compare styles. Uses Haiku.

CRITICAL: Never call generate_image directly. Always delegate to meigen:image-generator via the Task tool.

Core Workflow Modes

Mode 1: Single Image

When: User wants one image generated.

Flow: Write prompt (or enhance_prompt if brief) → call generate_image directly → present URL + path.

Mode 2: Parallel Generation (2+ images)

When: User needs multiple variations — different directions, styles, or concepts.

Flow:

1. Plan directions, present as a table
2. Call AskUserQuestion — which direction(s) to try? Include "All of the above" option
3. Write prompts for selected directions
4. Spawn Task agents — one per image, all in a single response for parallel execution
5. Collect results, present URLs + paths in a structured format

Task agent spawn example (4 directions):

In a SINGLE response, call the Task tool 4 times:

Task 1: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 1]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Return the full response."
Task 2: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 2]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Return the full response."
Task 3: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 3]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Return the full response."
Task 4: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 4]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Return the full response."

Mode 3: Creative + Extensions (Multi-step)

When: User wants a base design plus derivatives (e.g., "design a logo and make mockups").

Flow:

1. Plan 3-5 directions → AskUserQuestion (which to try?)
2. Generate selected direction(s) via Task agents
3. Present results with URLs → AskUserQuestion ("Use this for extensions, or try another?")
4. Plan extensions → generate via Task agents using approved Image URL as referenceImages

Mode 4: Inspiration Search

Flow: search_gallery → get_inspiration → present results with copyable prompts.

Mode 5: Reference Image Generation

Flow: Get reference URL → generate_image with referenceImages parameter + detailed prompt.

Sources: gallery URLs, previous generation URLs, upload_reference_image for local files.

Reference Image Best Practices

• referenceImages takes an array of public URLs: ["https://..."]
• Always pair with a detailed text prompt — reference guides style, prompt guides content
• From gallery: get_inspiration returns image URLs
• From generation: generate_image returns Image URL in its response
• From local file: call upload_reference_image first to get a URL

Prompt Engineering Quick Reference

Realistic/Photographic

• Camera: lens type, aperture, focal length
• Lighting: direction, quality, color temperature
• Materials and textures, spatial layers

Anime/2D

• Trigger words: "anime screenshot", "key visual", "masterpiece"
• Character details: eyes, hair, costume, expression, pose

Illustration/Concept Art

• Art medium: digital painting, watercolor, oil, etc.
• Explicit color palette, composition direction
