Use as the foundation and router for any image a post needs — turn a social need into a clear image brief, describe it with model-agnostic prompt craft, and route to the right tool. Run when the user says "I need a visual/image for this post," "what image should I use," "make a graphic," "help me prompt an image," or is unsure which image tool/model to use. Reads brand-profile for the visual brand. Teaches the image brief, the universal anatomy of a strong prompt in natural language, and a…

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

# Image Prompt (brief · craft · router)

The **foundation of the visual cluster.** When a post needs an image, this skill decides **what** image
(the brief), describes it with **model-agnostic** craft, and routes to the **right tool** — then hands
off. It sits *above* the tool-specific mini-skills (`nano-banana`, `ideogram`, `flux`,
`veo-3`), which own their model's specific tricks.

Think of it as the visual equivalent of `brand-profile`/`content-pillars`: the shared decision layer
the tool skills assume you've already worked through.

## Step 0 — Gate: should this even be AI-generated?

AI generation is one option, not the default. A **real photo** (your actual product/space/team), a
**screenshot**, **UGC**, or a **chart** often wins on authenticity and clarity — and AI must never
fabricate your real people/place. Reach for generation when you need something that doesn't exist, must
match a brand look, needs legible in-image text, or a consistent series — and no real asset fits. If a
real asset is better, **say so.** (See `references/the-image-brief.md`.)

## Step 1 — Write the brief

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/image-prompt@sha256:74c9bd598ed37aac

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
