ImageGen Glyph Mosaic

Create full-color raster illustrations whose image-forming marks are visible monospaced glyphs. Preserve the two readings that make this medium work: a coherent scene from a distance and an inspectable character grid at close range.

This workflow produces finished raster art. It does not produce executable terminal text or transparent ANSI assets. Keep that boundary explicit so painterly glyph mosaics do not accidentally become terminal screenshots or coarse block logos.

Workflow

1. Classify and inspect the inputs

• Treat supplied images as style references unless the user explicitly asks to edit one of them.
• Label every input by role before generation, for example: Images 1–4: style references only; do not copy their subjects or geography.
• Inspect local references with view_image when available. Look at both the full composition and enlarged glyph texture.
• Separate observed evidence from inference. Do not attribute an unknown reference to an artist or movement without reliable provenance.
• Decide whether the request needs style analysis, a reusable prompt, generated images, or all three.

2. Extract the style system

Describe the references as two groups:
