## File Structure

Each session creates an independent directory named by product slug:

```
product-images/{product-slug}/
├── source-{slug}.{ext}             # Source files (description, reference images)
├── analysis.md                     # Product analysis + positioning
├── outline-strategy-a.md           # Strategy A: Product-focused
├── outline-strategy-b.md           # Strategy B: Lifestyle-focused
├── outline-strategy-c.md           # Strategy C: Information-focused
├── outline.md                      # Final selected/merged outline
├── prompts/
│   ├── 01-hero-[slug].md
│   ├── 02-detail-[slug].md
│   └── ...
├── 01-hero-[slug].png
├── 02-detail-[slug].png
└── NN-infographic-[slug].png
```

**Slug Generation**:
1. Extract product name (2-4 words, kebab-case)
2. Example: "无线蓝牙耳机" → `wireless-earbuds`

**Conflict Resolution**:
If `product-images/{product-slug}/` already exists:
- Append timestamp: `{product-slug}-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS`

## Workflow

                                              │
                                              └─ Complete setup → Save EXTEND.md → Continue
                                                                                      │
        ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
        ↓
Analyze → [Confirm 1] → 3 Outlines → [Confirm 2: Outline + Style + Platform] → Generate → Complete
```

### Step 0: Load Preferences (EXTEND.md) ⛔ BLOCKING

**Purpose**: Load user preferences or run first-time setup.

**CRITICAL**: If EXTEND.md not found, MUST complete first-time setup before ANY other steps.

Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence:

```bash
# Check project-level first
test -f .teamclaw-skills/product-image-generator/EXTEND.md && echo "project"

# Then user-level
test -f "$HOME/.teamclaw-skills/product-image-generator/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"
```

| Result | Action |
|--------|--------|
| Found | Read, parse, display summary → Continue to Step 1 |
| Not found | ⛔ BLOCKING: Run first-time setup → Save EXTEND.md → Step 1 |

**First-Time Setup** (when EXTEND.md not found):

Use AskUserQuestion with ALL questions in ONE call:

1. **Default platform preference**: amazon / shopify / ebay / etsy / taobao / jd / pinduoduo / no preference
2. **Default style preference**: minimal / premium / lifestyle / bold / soft / tech / natural / luxury
3. **Watermark**: Enable / Disable (if enable, specify text and position)
4. **Language**: Chinese / English / Auto-detect

Schema: `references/config/preferences-schema.md`

### Step 1: Analyze Product → `analysis.md`

**Actions**:
1. **Save source content**:
   - If file path provided: use as-is
   - If pasted content: save to `source.md`
   - **Backup rule**: If exists, rename to `source-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md`
2. Read and analyze product information
3. **Product analysis**:
   - Category identification
   - Target audience
   - Key features and selling points
   - Competitive positioning
   - Visual opportunities
4. Detect product language
5. Determine recommended image count and types
6. **Generate clarifying questions** (see Step 2)

### Step 2: Confirmation 1 - Product Understanding ⚠️

**Purpose**: Validate understanding + collect missing info.

**Display summary**:
- Product category identified
- Key features extracted
- Target audience
- Recommended platform match

**Use AskUserQuestion** for:
1. **Primary selling point** (multiSelect: true):
   - Design/aesthetics
   - Functionality/features
   - Price/value
   - Quality/durability
   - Brand/status

   - Social/events
   - Auto

4. **Additional context** (optional)

**After response**: Update `analysis.md` → Step 3

### Step 3: Generate 3 Outline + Style Variants

Create three distinct strategy variants, each with outline structure and visual style recommendation.

| Strategy | Filename | Focus | Recommended Style |
|----------|----------|-------|-------------------|
| A | `outline-strategy-a.md` | Product-focused | minimal, tech |
| B | `outline-strategy-b.md` | Lifestyle-focused | lifestyle, soft, natural |
| C | `outline-strategy-c.md` | Information-focused | bold, infographic-style |

**Outline format** (YAML front matter + content):
```yaml
---
strategy: a  # a, b, or c
name: Product-Focused
style: minimal
style_reason: "Clean presentation highlights product design and build quality"
scene: studio
platform: amazon
image_count: 5
---

## P1 Hero Shot
**Type**: hero
**Purpose**: Main product image, first impression
**Visual**: Product on pure white background, professional lighting
**Platform**: Amazon main image compliant (1000x1000, pure white)

## P2 Angle Variation
**Type**: angle
**Purpose**: Show product from different perspective
**Visual**: 45-degree angle, slight shadow for depth

## P3 Detail Close-up
**Type**: detail
**Purpose**: Highlight key feature or quality detail
**Visual**: Macro shot of texture/material/connection point

...
```

**After response**: Update `analysis.md` → Step 3

### Step 4: Confirmation 2 - Outline & Style & Platform Selection ⚠️

**Purpose**: User chooses strategy, confirms style and platform.

**Display each strategy**:
- Strategy name + image count + recommended style
- Image-by-image summary

**Use AskUserQuestion** with questions:

**Question 1: Outline Strategy**
- Strategy A (Product-focused)
- Strategy B (Lifestyle-focused)
- Strategy C (Information-focused)
- Combine: specify images from each

**Question 2: Visual Style**
- Use strategy's recommended style
- Or select from: minimal / premium / lifestyle / bold / soft / tech / natural / luxury
- Or type custom style description

**Question 3: Platform**
- Use strategy's recommended platform
- Or select: amazon / shopify / ebay / etsy / taobao / jd / pinduoduo
- Custom: specify requirements

**Question 4: Scene Type**
- Use strategy's recommended scene
- Or select: studio / lifestyle / contextual / exploded / comparison / infographic

**After response**:
- Single strategy → copy to `outline.md` with confirmed settings
- Combination → merge specified images
- Update `outline.md` frontmatter with final settings

### Step 5: Generate Images

With confirmed outline + style + scene + platform:

**Visual Consistency — Reference Image Chain**:

1. **Check for user-provided reference images** (`--ref` option)
   - If provided: Use as primary style reference
   - If not provided: Use internal reference chain (see below)

2. **Internal Reference Chain** (when no user ref provided):
   - **Generate image 1 (hero) FIRST** — without `--ref`
   - **Use image 1 as `--ref` for ALL remaining images** (2, 3, ..., N)

**For each image**:
1. Save prompt to `prompts/NN-{type}-[slug].md`
   - **Backup rule**: If exists, rename to `prompts/NN-{type}-[slug]-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md`
   - Include reference image paths in prompt
2. Generate image:
   - **With user ref**: `--ref <user-reference.png>` for all images
   - **Image 1 (no user ref)**: Generate without `--ref` (establishes visual anchor)
   - **Images 2+ (no user ref)**: Generate with `--ref <image-01-path>`
   - **Backup rule**: If image exists, rename with timestamp
3. Report progress after each generation

**Reference Image Best Practices**:

| Reference Type | Usage | Effect |
|----------------|-------|--------|
| Style reference | Brand guideline images | Maintains brand consistency |
| Competitor reference | Similar product images | Matches category standards |
| Internal chain (image 1) | First generated image | Ensures series consistency |

**Platform Compliance**:
- Apply platform-specific requirements automatically
- Amazon: Pure white background for main image
- Size adjustments based on platform

**Session Management**:
Use consistent session ID for all images in the set: `product-{slug}-{timestamp}`

### Step 6: Completion Report
