For the first group, focus on how to create packs, how to write good prompt templates, and how to create references. For the second group, focus on how to choose packs, how to upload reference images, and how to generate images from packs.

# Astria Packs Guide

## What Are Packs?
Packs are themed collections of prompt templates for generating consistent, professional images. Each pack contains curated prompts for a specific use case (headshots, fashion, products, etc.).

> **"Pack" = "Template".** "Template" is the label used in the GUI; "pack" is the term used in the API, CLI, and URLs (`/p/:pack-slug`). They are interchangeable — when a user says "template" they mean a pack. (Not to be confused with the *prompt templates* — the individual prompts — that a pack contains.)

Users upload reference images, then the pack's prompt templates generate images in the pack's theme using that reference.

## How Packs are used
1. User selects a pack (e.g. "Corporate Headshots")
2. User uploads reference images (shirt, shoes, dress, photos of themselves, product, pet, etc.)
3. A reference is created
4. The pack's prompt templates are automatically filled in with the reference
5. Generated images appear automatically


## How to create packs
1. Generate a few prompts with the same references (i.e: same man/woman or same shirt/shoes/dress) 
2. Once the user is happy about them - add them to a pack with a clear name and description
3. Once added - suggest navigation to the pack page /p/:pack-slug so the user can easily find it and use it again
