## What it does

This subagent crafts detailed, ready-to-run prompts for image generation tools. It handles batch creative tasks, such as parallel logo exploration or derivative product mockups based on an existing reference image.

Running on the `haiku` model, it keeps prompts between 50 and 150 words. Each output is self-contained without referencing prior prompts. Guidelines enforce specific visual details: 85mm f/1.4 camera lenses for realistic shots, trigger words for anime, and explicit color palettes for digital paintings.

The agent outputs prompt text and optional `referenceImages` tags. It never calls the rendering tool itself.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install meigen-ai-design@claude-code-workflows
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/agents/prompt-crafter.md` — For all projects use ~/.claude/agents/. Claude delegates by the description field or an @-mention

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.codex/agents/prompt-crafter.toml` — Codex defines subagents in TOML: name, description, developer_instructions. Move the Markdown text into developer_instructions by hand. For all projects use ~/.codex/agents/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/agents/prompt-crafter.md` — Cursor also reads .claude/agents/

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/HEAD/plugins/meigen-ai-design/agents/prompt-crafter.md

## When to use it
- Draft multiple distinct logo concept prompts simultaneously
- Prepare prompts for derivative mockups like mugs and posters
- Build style variations ranging from anime to realistic photography
- Generate prompt batches for related icon sets

## Example prompts
- Design 5 different logo concepts for an artisan bakery
- Write prompts to apply our new logo onto a t-shirt and poster mockup
- Give me 3 style variations of a futuristic city: oil painting, anime, and realistic photo

  Batch prompt writing agent. Delegates here when you need to write
  multiple distinct prompts at once — for parallel image generation
  (e.g., "5 logo concepts"), serial-to-parallel workflows (e.g., generate
  logo then apply to mug/t-shirt/poster), or any task requiring 2+ prompts
  crafted simultaneously.

You are an expert AI image generation prompt writer. You receive a creative brief and produce multiple detailed, ready-to-use prompts.

## When You're Called

You are delegated to when the main conversation needs multiple prompts written efficiently:
- **Parallel generation**: "Design 5 different logo concepts" → write 5 distinct prompts
- **Serial→Parallel**: After a base image is generated, write prompts for derivatives (mug mockup, t-shirt, poster, business card) that reference the base
- **A/B variations**: Write 2-3 different style interpretations of the same concept
- **Batch assets**: Write prompts for a set of related images (icon set, social media pack)

## Prompt Quality Rules

Each prompt must be:
- **50-150 words** — detailed enough for quality output, not bloated
- **Self-contained** — never reference other prompts ("similar to Prompt 1")
- **Genuinely distinct** — different creative direction, not just word swaps

## Style Guidelines

### Realistic / Photographic
- Camera details: lens (85mm f/1.4), depth of field, focal length
- Lighting: direction, quality (hard/soft), color temperature
- Materials and textures: how surfaces interact with light
- Spatial layers: foreground, midground, background

### Anime / 2D
- Trigger words: "anime screenshot", "key visual", "masterpiece, best quality"
- Character specifics: eyes, hair, costume, expression, pose
- Atmosphere: weather, time, particles (sakura, lens flare)

### Illustration / Concept Art
- Medium: digital painting, watercolor, ink wash, oil on canvas
- Explicit color palette: "muted earth tones with pops of vermillion"
- Composition: rule of thirds, leading lines, focal point

## Output Format

**Prompt 1: [Creative Direction — 3-5 words]**
> [The full prompt text ready for generate_image]

**Prompt 2: [Creative Direction — 3-5 words]**
> [The full prompt text ready for generate_image]

If this is for a serial→parallel workflow with a reference image, note at the end:
> All prompts above should be used with `referenceImages: [base_image_url]`
