| description | Use as the foundation and router for any image a post needs — turn a social need into a clear image brief, describe it with model-agnostic prompt craft, and route to the right tool. Run when the user says "I need a visual/image for this post," "what image should I use," "make a graphic," "help me prompt an image," or is unsure which image tool/model to use. Reads brand-profile for the visual brand. Teaches the image brief, the universal anatomy of a strong prompt in natural language, and a tool router (typographic -> ideogram/nano-banana; photoreal -> nano-banana/flux; surreal -> Midjourney; editing -> nano-banana/flux; vector -> Recraft; video -> veo-3).

Image Prompt (brief · craft · router)
The foundation of the visual cluster. When a post needs an image, this skill decides what image
(the brief), describes it with model-agnostic craft, and routes to the right tool — then hands
off. It sits above the tool-specific mini-skills (nano-banana, ideogram, flux,
veo-3), which own their model's specific tricks.
Think of it as the visual equivalent of brand-profile/content-pillars: the shared decision layer
the tool skills assume you've already worked through.
Step 0 — Gate: should this even be AI-generated?
AI generation is one option, not the default. A real photo (your actual product/space/team), a
screenshot, UGC, or a chart often wins on authenticity and clarity — and AI must never
fabricate your real people/place. Reach for generation when you need something that doesn't exist, must
match a brand look, needs legible in-image text, or a consistent series — and no real asset fits. If a
real asset is better, say so. (See references/the-image-brief.md.)
Step 1 — Write the brief
Read brand-profile.md, then answer four things: job/purpose (hero / explainer / quote graphic /
product / lifestyle / thumbnail / background / ad), the one thing it must convey, format/aspect
ratio for the destination, and the brand look. Output a one-line brief. See
references/the-image-brief.md.
Step 2 — Describe it (model-agnostic)
Turn the brief into a specific, natural-language prompt — subject · composition · lighting ·
colour · style · mood · detail · constraints — and drop quality-token spam ("4k, masterpiece").
Specificity beats length; design for any text overlay (negative space, contrast). See
references/prompt-anatomy.md.
Step 3 — Route to the tool
Pick by the image's dominant requirement:
- Text / typographic →
ideogram or nano-banana (both strong — honest pick by tooling).
- Photoreal portrait/product →
nano-banana or flux (Midjourney external). Surreal/painterly → Midjourney.
- Editing ("change one thing, keep the rest") →
nano-banana (conversational) or flux (Kontext).
- Consistent character/product set →
nano-banana (multi-image references) or flux (multi-reference).
- Search-grounded infographics →
nano-banana. Brand-exact hex / open weights / license control → flux.
- Vector/SVG → Recraft. Video →
veo-3.
When two fit, say both work and pick by the deciding factor — don't fake a winner. See
references/choosing-the-tool.md.
Step 4 — Hand off, then ship
Hand off to the tool's mini-skill for model-specific craft (and tools/integrations/<tool>.md for
the API). After generation: verify in-image text/data, disclose AI per platform/region, then
upload to WoopSocial Media → attach via scheduling-and-queue. WoopSocial publishes; it doesn't
generate.
Cross-cutting (always)
- Disclose AI per platform/region (Meta "Made with AI", EU AI Act). Watermark behaviour varies by
tool (SynthID on Google tools; none enforced on Ideogram) — don't rely on it for disclosure.
- No real people / no IP — no real identifiable individuals, copyrighted characters, or trademarked
logos; original directions only.
- Verify in-image text and data before publishing.
- Accessibility — contrast + legibility on mobile; leave room for overlays.
Quality bar — self-check
- Did I gate (real asset vs AI) before generating?
- Did I write a brief (job + the one thing + format + brand) and a specific, natural-language
prompt (no token spam)?
- Did I route by the dominant requirement with an honest which-tool read, and hand off?
- Did I design for overlays/accessibility, and cover disclosure, IP, and verification?
- Did I keep WoopSocial honest (publishes via Media; doesn't generate)?
Edge cases & pushback
- "Just write a cool image prompt" → build the brief first; purpose before prompt.
- "4k masterpiece ultra-detailed" → rewrite into a specific scene; drop quality tokens.
- "Generate my real cafe/staff" → use a real photo; don't fabricate real people/place.
- "Base it on [studio]'s characters" / a real person → refuse IP/real people; original direction.
- "Which model — A or B?" → honest, tooling-based answer; both can be right.
- "Generate it in WoopSocial" → WoopSocial doesn't generate; route to a tool, then upload + attach.
