MANDATORY RULES — Read These First

Rule 1: Use AskUserQuestion for ALL choices

When presenting design directions, model choices, or any decision point: Call the AskUserQuestion tool. Do NOT write a plain text question.

Example — after presenting design directions in a table:

Call AskUserQuestion with:
  question: "Which direction(s) do you want to try?"
  header: "Direction"
  options:
    - label: "1. Modern Minimal"
    - label: "2. Eastern Calligraphy"
    - label: "3. Geometric Tech"
    - label: "All of the above"
  multiSelect: true

This applies to: choosing directions, confirming extensions, selecting models.

Rule 2: Use image-generator agents for ALL generation

ALWAYS use the meigen:image-generator agent to call generate_image. NEVER call generate_image directly in the main conversation.

• Single image: Spawn 1 meigen:image-generator agent
• Multiple images: Spawn N meigen:image-generator agents in a single response (parallel execution)

Each agent prompt must be self-contained. Example:

Task(subagent_type="meigen:image-generator",
     prompt="Call generate_image with prompt: '[full prompt]'. Do NOT specify model or provider. Omit aspectRatio unless the user explicitly asks for a specific ratio — MeiGen auto-infers the best ratio from the prompt.")

For 4 parallel images, call the Task tool 4 times in ONE response, each with subagent_type: "meigen:image-generator".

Rule 3: Present URLs and paths, never describe images

After generation, relay the exact Image URL and "Saved to" path from each result. Format:

**Direction 1: Modern Minimal**
- Image URL: https://images.meigen.ai/...
- Saved to: ~/Pictures/meigen/2026-02-08_xxxx.jpg

**Direction 2: Eastern Calligraphy**
- Image URL: https://images.meigen.ai/...
- Saved to: ~/Pictures/meigen/2026-02-08_yyyy.jpg

NEVER:

• Describe or imagine what the image looks like (you cannot see it)
• Read the saved image files
• Write creative commentary about the generated result

Rule 4: Never specify model or provider

Do NOT pass model or provider to generate_image unless the user explicitly asks. The server auto-detects the best provider and model.

Available Tools

Agent Delegation

CRITICAL: Never call generate_image directly. Always delegate to meigen:image-generator via the Task tool.

Core Workflow Modes

Mode 1: Single Image

When: User wants one image generated.

Flow: Write prompt (or enhance_prompt if brief) → call generate_image directly → present URL + path.

Mode 2: Parallel Generation (2+ images)

When: User needs multiple variations — different directions, styles, or concepts.

Flow:

1. Plan directions, present as a table
2. Call AskUserQuestion — which direction(s) to try? Include "All of the above" option
3. Write prompts for selected directions
4. Spawn Task agents — one per image, all in a single response for parallel execution
5. Collect results, present URLs + paths in a structured format

Task agent spawn example (4 directions):

In a SINGLE response, call the Task tool 4 times. Omit aspectRatio — the server
auto-infers per prompt. Only pin a ratio when the user asked for one specifically
(e.g. square avatars → pass aspectRatio: '1:1' to all four).

Task 1: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 1]'. Return the full response."
Task 2: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 2]'. Return the full response."
Task 3: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 3]'. Return the full response."
Task 4: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 4]'. Return the full response."

Mode 3: Creative + Extensions (Multi-step)

When: User wants a base design plus derivatives (e.g., "design a logo and make mockups").

Flow:

1. Plan 3-5 directions → AskUserQuestion (which to try?)
2. Generate selected direction(s) via Task agents
3. Present results with URLs → AskUserQuestion ("Use this for extensions, or try another?")
4. Plan extensions → generate via Task agents using approved Image URL as referenceImages

Mode 4: Inspiration Search

Flow: search_gallery → get_inspiration → present results with copyable prompts.

Mode 5: Reference Image Generation

Flow: Get reference URL or local file path → generate_image with referenceImages parameter + detailed prompt.

Sources: gallery URLs, previous generation URLs, or local file paths (auto-compressed and prepared for the selected provider when needed).

MeiGen Models

When a user asks about models, refer to this table:

When no model is specified, the server uses the MeiGen platform default (typically GPT Image 2.0 at 1K resolution / medium quality, but the authoritative defaults and supported tiers come from the backend — run list_models to confirm). For high-resolution prints or posters, pass resolution: "2K" or resolution: "4K" to generate_image (when the chosen model supports it). To use a specific model, pass model: "<model-id>" to generate_image (e.g., model: "seedream-5.0-lite").

When a user asks about cost or pricing, point them to https://www.meigen.ai/model-comparison — credit prices change over time and the website is the source of truth. Do not quote specific credit numbers from training data.

Midjourney V8.1 — Notes

model: "midjourney-v8.1". Unified general-purpose Midjourney model that handles both photorealistic AND stylized/anime content — there is no separate Niji model exposed via MCP. ~45s, accepts max 1 reference image, returns 4 candidate images per generation.

• Use for product photography, portraits, landscapes, cinematic shots, illustration, and anime/stylized work.
• Resolution: pass resolution: "1K" (default) or "2K". 2K costs more and is best for posters/wallpapers.
• Advanced params (stylize/chaos/weird/raw/iw/sw/sv/quality) run with fixed server-side defaults and cannot be tuned from MCP. The only exception is sref, settable via --sref <code> at the end of the prompt — Midjourney style codes only (numeric like 3799554500 or text like niji-cute-v1). No URLs or local paths to --sref.
• Other Midjourney flags (--ar, --chaos, --niji, --seed, --q, etc.) and legacy syntax (::N weights, [a|b] permutations) are silently stripped by the server. Express intent in natural language; pass aspect ratio via the aspectRatio parameter, not --ar.
• Prompt enhancement: pass style: 'realistic' for general/photorealistic intent, style: 'anime' for anime/illustration intent. V8.1 follows the prompt — explicit anime trigger words (e.g. "anime screenshot", "key visual") improve stylized output.

Reference Image Best Practices

• referenceImages accepts URLs or local file paths: ["https://...", "/path/to/image.jpg"]
• Local files are compressed in-memory (max 2MB, 2048px) and prepared for the selected provider when needed
• Always pair with a detailed text prompt — reference guides style, prompt guides content
• From gallery: get_inspiration returns image URLs
• From generation: generate_image returns Image URL in its response
• From local file: just pass the path directly — the server handles preparation

Prompt Engineering Quick Reference

Realistic/Photographic

• Camera: lens type, aperture, focal length
• Lighting: direction, quality, color temperature
• Materials and textures, spatial layers

Anime/2D

• Trigger words: "anime screenshot", "key visual", "masterpiece"
• Character details: eyes, hair, costume, expression, pose

Illustration/Concept Art

• Art medium: digital painting, watercolor, oil, etc.
• Explicit color palette, composition direction
