description: Turn a creative request into a production-ready AI image brief, reference plan, node workflow, and model-profile prompt. Use for text-to-image, surgical editing, exact text or infographics, image analysis and style transfer, logos and brand kits, ads and publishing assets, ecommerce listing sets, product/food/fashion/portrait imagery, virtual try-on and identity-preserving effects, interiors and floor plans, UI mockups, character sheets, presentation visuals, social covers and thumbnails, multi-panel grids, storyboards, visual variants, composition changes, or improving an image-generation node.

# Direct AI image creation

Use `$operate-content-workflow` for inspection and mutations. Capabilities are the source of truth for executable models and modes.

## Route the task

1. Inspect project state, references, and image capabilities.
2. If no concrete visual concept exists, invoke `$develop-creative-concept` before authoring prompts.
3. Classify the request as new generation, edit, variation, composition transfer, character/product continuity, or multi-asset set.
4. Define the brief and acceptance criteria before creating nodes.
5. Generate a small candidate set when direction is uncertain; select before producing expensive derivatives.
6. Review the actual output with `$review-content-quality` and repair the smallest failing dimension.

## Brief requirements

Record purpose, audience, publishing surface, aspect ratio, subject, action/pose, environment, composition, lighting, palette, medium, references and their roles, immutable details, exclusions, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. Distinguish hard constraints from preferences.

Prefer an explicit visual decision over a pile of adjectives. Make each variation change one named axis such as composition, palette, lens, pose, or rendering medium.
