Media.io Generate

Submit image and video jobs through the current mediaio CLI contract. Treat CLI help, model/workflow/effect discovery, and model get/workflow get output as the source of truth.

Before any generation command:

1. Run command -v mediaio and mediaio version. If the command is missing, tell the user that the shared Media.io CLI must be installed; do not silently install a second runtime from this skill.
   • If mediaio version prints an Update: line ending with (update available), treat that as a required handoff point: quote that line and ask whether to run mediaio upgrade --output json before continuing.
   • The hint is throttled to once every 24 hours, so its absence means "no new hint today", not "confirmed current". Do not present the absence of a hint as proof that the install is up to date. mediaio upgrade is the only unthrottled check, but it also performs the upgrade, so do not run it just to probe.
   • Use a blocking confirmation prompt in the same turn, such as: mediaio reports an update: <Update: line>. Upgrade now?
