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-generatoragent - Multiple images: Spawn N
meigen:image-generatoragents 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]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Do NOT specify model or provider.")
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.art/...
- Saved to: ~/Pictures/meigen/2026-02-08_xxxx.jpg
**Direction 2: Eastern Calligraphy**
- Image URL: https://images.meigen.art/...
- 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
| Tool | Purpose | Cost |
|---|---|---|
search_gallery |
Semantic search across AI image prompts — finds conceptually similar results, not just keyword matches. Also supports category browsing. | Free |
get_inspiration |
Get the full prompt and image URLs for a gallery entry | Free |
enhance_prompt |
Get a system prompt to expand a brief description into a detailed prompt | Free |
list_models |
List available AI models (only when user asks to see/switch models) | Free |
manage_preferences |
Read/save user preferences: default style, aspect ratio, model, favorites | Free |
generate_image |
Generate an image using AI | Requires API key |
Agent Delegation
| Agent | When to delegate |
|---|---|
| image-generator | ALL generate_image calls. Spawn one per image. For parallel: spawn N in a single response. |
| prompt-crafter | When you need 2+ distinct prompts — batch logos, product mockups, style variations. Uses Haiku. |
| gallery-researcher | When exploring the gallery — find references, build mood boards, compare styles. Uses Haiku. |
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:
- Plan directions, present as a table
- Call
AskUserQuestion— which direction(s) to try? Include "All of the above" option - Write prompts for selected directions
- Spawn Task agents — one per image, all in a single response for parallel execution
- 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:
Task 1: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 1]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Return the full response."
Task 2: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 2]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Return the full response."
Task 3: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 3]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. Return the full response."
Task 4: "Call generate_image with prompt: '[prompt 4]', aspectRatio: '1:1'. 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:
- Plan 3-5 directions → AskUserQuestion (which to try?)
- Generate selected direction(s) via Task agents
- Present results with URLs → AskUserQuestion ("Use this for extensions, or try another?")
- 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 → generate_image with referenceImages parameter + detailed prompt.
Sources: gallery URLs, previous generation URLs, upload_reference_image for local files.
MeiGen Model Pricing
When a user asks about models or costs, refer to this table:
| Model | Credits | 4K | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nanobanana 2 (default) | 5 | Yes | General purpose, high quality |
| Seedream 5.0 Lite | 5 | Yes | Fast, stylized imagery |
| GPT Image 1.5 | 2 | No | Budget-friendly |
| Nanobanana Pro | 10 | Yes | Premium quality |
| Seedream 4.5 | 5 | Yes | Stylized, wide ratio support |
| Midjourney Niji 7 | 15 | No | Anime and illustration |
When no model is specified, the server defaults to Nanobanana 2 (5 credits).
To use a specific model, pass model: "<model-id>" to generate_image (e.g., model: "seedream-5.0-lite").
Reference Image Best Practices
referenceImagestakes an array of public URLs:["https://..."]- Always pair with a detailed text prompt — reference guides style, prompt guides content
- From gallery:
get_inspirationreturns image URLs - From generation:
generate_imagereturns Image URL in its response - From local file: call
upload_reference_imagefirst to get a URL
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
