## What it does

This skill writes ready-to-use prompts for images; it does not generate the images itself. It selects Nano Banana or GPT Image 2.5 and includes guidance for quality, dimensions, and framing. Use it for blog covers, posters, UI mockups, storyboards, character sheets, or work based on reference images.

Before drafting a prompt, it reads `models.md`, then the chosen model guide and `golden-rules.md`. It can load focused references for text rendering, edits, character consistency, multi-panel layouts, and style transfer. Video is the wrong route here, because the skill directs motion and image-to-video work to `video`.
