Generate Image

Turn a brief and optional references into a finished image. This is the primary skill for a clear, general image-generation or image-editing request; model-specific skills supply deeper prompting advice after routing. If the user explicitly requests HTML/CSS rendering or a deterministic code-based PNG, use creativeclaw-render-html-image instead.

Workflow

1. Establish the subject, intended use, aspect ratio, style, text requirements, and which details must remain exact.
2. Use search_assets for likely reusable references. Import attachments or local files with the platform upload flow before generation.
3. When the user asks for examples, inspiration, styles, or a close starting point—or an open brief would materially benefit from concrete choices—use creativeclaw-find-examples. Search a small filtered set, then load only the chosen example with get_example. Do not search automatically for an already precise brief.
4. For branded work, call get_theme and carry the relevant colors, typography, logo treatment, and visual rules into the prompt.
5. Call list_models({ modality: "image" }), select a model, then call get_model_params before sending model-specific fields.
6. Explain the model choice before a costly batch. Generate one direction first unless the user explicitly wants several.
7. Call generate_image. If a downstream tool needs a queued result URL, use check_job; otherwise let the inline viewer monitor it.
8. Inspect the result against the non-negotiables, revise the smallest failing element, and tag the approved asset.
