name: MeiGen Visual Creative Expert
description: >-
  This skill should be used when the user asks to "generate an image", "create artwork",
  "design a logo", "make a poster", "draw something", "find inspiration", "search for
  reference images", "enhance my prompt", "improve prompt", "brand design", "product mockup",
  "batch generate images", "multiple variations", "generate a video", "make a video",
  "animate this photo", "image-to-video", or discusses AI image/video generation, visual
  creativity, prompt engineering, reference images, style transfer.
  Also activate when user mentions MeiGen, image models, aspect ratios, or art styles.
  NOT for: generic chat/text tasks, code generation, document writing, video editing
  of existing footage, audio/TTS, real-photo retouching of user files outside the
  generation flow, or any task unrelated to AI image/video creation.

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]'. Do NOT specify model or provider. Omit aspectRatio unless the user explicitly asks for a specific ratio — MeiGen auto-infers the best ratio from the prompt.")

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.ai/...
- Saved to: ~/Pictures/meigen/2026-02-08_xxxx.jpg

**Direction 2: Eastern Calligraphy**
- Image URL: https://images.meigen.ai/...
- 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` | Semantic search across AI image prompts — finds conceptually similar results, not just keyword matches. Also supports category browsing. | 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 (`"auto"` recommended), 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. Omit aspectRatio — the server
auto-infers per prompt. Only pin a ratio when the user asked for one specifically
(e.g. square avatars → pass aspectRatio: '1:1' to all four).

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