Art-direct and generate DanLevy.net blog hero images plus compositionally matched square thumbnails. Use for analyzing a target post, exploring 3-5 varied visual concepts, generating wide and square image families, or updating post image frontmatter.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Blog hero images

Create an image family that explains the post's idea at a glance. Treat the wide hero and square thumbnail as two compositions of the same concept, not an arbitrary crop and not unrelated artwork.

Default to Paper atelier as an editorial medium, with mature paper cut-outs, collage, printmaking, or tactile photography. It is not a fixed ivory/blue/terracotta palette or an architectural-model template. Let the article determine subject, color, scale, lighting, and composition. A batch must feel like distinct artworks from one thoughtful publication, not product shots from one catalog. Compatible object photography remains welcome. Read the refined composition, dark-mode, and acceptance guidance in `references/visual-language.md`.

Use the requested image generation tool, or the best available one, for raster generation. If the user named a tool or model, use it. Otherwise pick the strongest image generator available in the current environment, and say which one you chose before generating. Read `references/visual-language.md` before writing prompts. Read the target `index.mdx` in full and inspect its existing images before generating anything.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add justsml/dans-blog/blog-hero-images@sha256:9197003d334a3d4c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.0cb9d7f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
