Project Illustrator

Build a project art system that stays recognizable at every size. A tiny avatar has to read as clearly as a wide README hero, and so does whatever illustration follows later. Base every decision on the product and its existing identity rather than on generic technology imagery.

1. Discover the identity

Inspect the target repository before writing a prompt:

• Read the README and product copy to learn the problem, mechanism, audience, and tone.
• Search assets/, public/, static/, documentation, social cards, favicons, and app icons for existing brand material.
• Inspect the actual candidates. Do not treat a framework or template icon as project branding.
• Record the current output paths, dimensions, formats, and every place the artwork is referenced.

If the project already has a logo or mascot, preserve its defining silhouette, anatomy, colors, and personality. Improve execution and consistency without replacing its identity.

If it has no identity, turn the product's mechanism into a character or visual action. Prefer a specific idea that explains the project over a mascot holding unrelated developer props.

Read references/art-direction.md for the default visual language, asset specifications, and review checklist.
