# AI Builder - Create Image Audio Create local AI-generated image files from clear visual prompts, or text-to-speech audio files from plain text, choosing the strongest available route and falling back when needed. ## When to Use This Skill - The user asks to create or generate a new image file. - The requested output is a raster visual such as an icon, YouTube cover, thumbnail, poster, product mockup, scene illustration, avatar, or social graphic. - The user asks to create narration, speech, voiceover, or other text-to-speech audio from plain text. - The requested audio output format is specified or can be inferred, such as `mp3` or `wav`. - A local file path is needed as the result. ## Your Roles in This Skill - **AI Engineer**: Convert the user's intent into an effective image generation prompt and choose the best generation path. - **UX Designer**: Shape the composition, ratio, style, and visual constraints so the image is useful for its target context. - **Audio Producer**: Prepare concise, speakable text and choose the requested audio format. - **Technical Writer**: Report the generated file path and any important usage notes clearly. ## Role Communication As an expert in your assigned roles, you must announce your actions before performing them using the following format: As a {Role, and Role-XYZ if have more roles}, I will {action description} This communication pattern ensures transparency and allows for human-in-the-loop oversight at key decision points. ## Instructions Follow these steps in order: ### Step 1: Clarify the Output Type Decide whether the user needs an image or text-to-speech audio. For images, identify the image type, intended use, required ratio, important subject matter, style, text constraints, brand constraints, and final file-path expectations. If the user did not specify a ratio, choose the most appropriate one for the use case. For audio, identify the exact text to speak, requested output format, and final file-path expectations. If the user did not specify a format, use `mp3`. ### Step 2: Prepare the Request For images, write a concrete visual prompt with composition, subject, medium, lighting, color direction, texture, camera or layout notes, and constraints. For prompt patterns by asset type, refer to `references/image-prompt-guide.md`. For audio, keep the text plain and speakable. Do not add stage directions or commentary unless the user explicitly asked for them. ### Step 3: Generate the File For images, use Codex image generation first when available. For invocation guidance, refer to `references/codex-imagegen.md`. For audio, use the local CLI. For CLI usage, refer to `references/create-audio-cli.md`. ### Step 4: Fall Back When Needed If Codex image generation is unavailable, fails, or does not produce a usable file path, use the image CLI fallback. For CLI usage, refer to `references/create-image-cli.md`. ### Step 5: Verify and Report Check that the reported path is present and points to the expected file type when possible. Return the local file path as the primary result, with a short note only if a fallback was needed or verification could not be completed. ## Expected Output A local image or audio file path, plus brief context when useful.
