# Image Generation Skill

## Overview

This skill generates high-quality images using structured prompts and a Python script. The workflow includes creating JSON-formatted prompts and executing image generation with optional reference images.

## Core Capabilities

- Create structured JSON prompts for AIGC image generation
- Support multiple reference images for style/composition guidance
- Generate images through automated Python script execution
- Handle various image generation scenarios (character design, scenes, products, etc.)

## Workflow

### Step 1: Understand Requirements

When a user requests image generation, identify:

- Subject/content: What should be in the image
- Style preferences: Art style, mood, color palette
- Technical specs: Aspect ratio, composition, lighting
- Reference images: Any images to guide generation
- You don't need to check the folder under `/mnt/user-data`

### Step 2: Create Structured Prompt

Generate a structured JSON file in `/mnt/user-data/workspace/` with naming pattern: `{descriptive-name}.json`

### Step 3: Execute Generation

Call the Python script:
```bash
python /mnt/skills/public/image-generation/scripts/generate.py \
  --prompt-file /mnt/user-data/workspace/prompt-file.json \
  --reference-images /path/to/ref1.jpg /path/to/ref2.png \
  --output-file /mnt/user-data/outputs/generated-image.jpg
  --aspect-ratio 16:9
```

Parameters:

- `--prompt-file`: Absolute path to JSON prompt file (required)
- `--reference-images`: Absolute paths to reference images (optional, space-separated)
- `--output-file`: Absolute path to output image file (required)
- `--aspect-ratio`: Aspect ratio of the generated image (optional, default: 16:9)

[!NOTE]
Do NOT read the python file, just call it with the parameters.

## Character Generation Example

User request: "Create a Tokyo street style woman character in 1990s"

Create prompt file: `/mnt/user-data/workspace/asian-woman.json`
```json
{
  "characters": [{
    "gender": "female",
    "age": "mid-20s",
    "ethnicity": "Japanese",
    "body_type": "slender, elegant",
    "facial_features": "delicate features, expressive eyes, subtle makeup with emphasis on lips, long dark hair partially wet from rain",
    "clothing": "stylish trench coat, designer handbag, high heels, contemporary Tokyo street fashion",
    "accessories": "minimal jewelry, statement earrings, leather handbag",
    "era": "1990s"
  }],
  "negative_prompt": "blurry face, deformed, low quality, overly sharp digital look, oversaturated colors, artificial lighting, studio setting, posed, selfie angle",
  "style": "Leica M11 street photography aesthetic, film-like rendering, natural color palette with slight warmth, bokeh background blur, analog photography feel",
  "composition": "medium shot, rule of thirds, subject slightly off-center, environmental context of Tokyo street visible, shallow depth of field isolating subject",
  "lighting": "neon lights from signs and storefronts, wet pavement reflections, soft ambient city glow, natural street lighting, rim lighting from background neons",
  "color_palette": "muted naturalistic tones, warm skin tones, cool blue and magenta neon accents, desaturated compared to digital photography, film grain texture"
}
```

Execute generation:
```bash
python /mnt/skills/public/image-generation/scripts/generate.py \
  --prompt-file /mnt/user-data/workspace/cyberpunk-hacker.json \
  --output-file /mnt/user-data/outputs/cyberpunk-hacker-01.jpg \
  --aspect-ratio 2:3
```

With reference images:
```json
{
  "characters": [{
    "gender": "based on [Image 1]",
    "age": "based on [Image 1]",
    "ethnicity": "human from [Image 1] adapted to Star Wars universe",
    "body_type": "based on [Image
