ImageGen ANSI

Create a transparent raster reference and a deterministic terminal rendering from the same sampled bitmap. Keep machine-readable CLI output separate from decorative help or interactive UI.

Workflow

1. Classify the input

• Treat a supplied image as a reference unless the user explicitly asks to edit it.
• Inspect every local input with view_image when available.
• Use direct deterministic conversion when the source already has a clean, high-contrast silhouette. This preserves typography and spelling better than regeneration.
• Use ImageGen when the user wants a stylistic ANSI reinterpretation, coarse terminal-cell geometry, or cleanup that direct thresholding cannot provide.
• Decide whether the deliverables include the transparent PNG, ANSI text, embeddable source code, or all three.

Never include a user's brand asset, wordmark, prompt, or generated output as a reusable example in this skill.

2. Check dependencies
