Art Director

Explore visual directions, curate them with the user, and converge on one defensible choice. Do not implement the product while this skill is active.

Compose, do not copy

• Read and use imagegen for every generated concept. Its generation, editing, validation, and save-path rules own the image work.
• For a brand or identity exploration, read brandkit only after a direction has earned a system proof. Do not generate a brand board for every early idea.
• Run intake as a grilling conversation: investigate facts yourself, ask decisions one at a time, include your recommended answer, and wait for the user's reply. No separate intake skill is required.
• If the current runtime cannot generate images, use pair to give a Codex peer the generation brief. When image generation is available directly, Herdr is unnecessary.
• Obey the current project's agent, product, brand, and design-system instructions.
