What it does

Ideogram is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. Use to write great prompts for Ideogram (Ideogram 4.0) to generate design-grade images for social media — the image-prompt-craft mini-skill for typography + layout, sibling to nano-banana under the image-prompt router. Run when the user wants an Ideogram / AI image prompt where TEXT and LAYOUT matter: quote cards, carousel covers, posters, logos/wordmark concepts, signage, ads with headlines, or any image that must say words correctly.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/app-editor-and-canvas.md` and `references/examples.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation, Logo and visual identity and Typography. It works with Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Write great prompts for Ideogram (Ideogram 4.
  • Generate design-grade images for social media — the image-prompt-craft mini-skill for typography + layout
  • Sibling to nano-banana under the image-prompt router
  • Wants an Ideogram / AI image prompt where TEXT and LAYOUT matter: quote cards

Example prompts

  • “/ideogram”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the brand + the job
  2. Direct a layout, not just a scene
  3. Use the superpower: structured JSON
  4. Text, transparency, recipes
  5. Iterate cheaply, then verify, disclose, ship

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ideogram loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 252 tokens; SKILL.md has 705 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~252
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use to write great prompts for Ideogram (Ideogram 4.0) to generate design-grade images for social media — the image-prompt-craft mini-skill for typography + layout, sibling to nano-banana under the image-prompt router. Run when the user wants an Ideogram / AI image prompt where TEXT and LAYOUT matter: quote cards, carousel covers, posters, logos/wordmark concepts, signage, ads with headlines, or any image that must say words correctly. Reads brand-profile for style/palette. Ideogram's standouts: best-in-class in-image text rendering, structured JSON prompting (bounding boxes, hex palettes), native 2K, transparency, and Layerize Text. Also covers the Ideogram app-editor workflow (Canvas, Magic Fill, Extend, Style References). Honest: review rendered text, disclose AI images and sign with C2PA, never generate real identifiable people or copyrighted characters/IP/logos. The API/connection and the generate -> upload to WoopSocial Media -> attach flow live in tools/integrations/ideogram.md.

Ideogram (image prompt craft)

Write prompts that get design-grade images with correct text and deliberate layout out of Ideogram (Ideogram 4.0). This is the prompt-craft layer of a three-layer setup, and the typography/layout sibling to nano-banana under the image-prompt router.

  • Connection/API (per-image pricing, MCP, the generate → upload to WoopSocial Media → attach flow) → tools/integrations/ideogram.md.
  • Prompt craft (this skill) → how to direct the right asset well.
  • Router → image-prompt picks the tool for the job.

This skill covers both lanes: generation prompt-craft (below) and the Ideogram app-editor workflow (Canvas, Magic Fill, Extend, Style References, Magic Prompt, Layerize) — for in-editor work, see references/app-editor-and-canvas.md. Re-verify model/specs quarterly.

Reach for Ideogram when… (match the job)

Its real strengths: in-image text rendering (the standout — legible, correct typography), deterministic layout (bounding-box placement), brand-accurate color (hex palettes), native 2K, and transparency (Background Remover). Reach elsewhere for conversational edits / pure photoreal scenes (→ nano-banana) or specific art house looks (→ the photoreal branch). Don't default it to every image. (Details: references/when-and-how-to-prompt.md.)

Step 0 — Read the brand + the job

Load brand-profile.md (palette as hex, type feel, do/don't). Identify the job (quote card / carousel cover / poster / logo concept / ad / signage) and the aspect ratio (4:5, 9:16, 1:1).

Step 1 — Direct a layout, not just a scene

Describe like a designer: subject/scene/style · text elements (exact string + styling + placement) · hex palette · layout/hierarchy · format (2K, aspect). Don't bury copy in a vague sentence. Ground in the brand. See references/when-and-how-to-prompt.md.

Step 2 — Use the superpower: structured JSON

Ideogram 4.0 is JSON-native. For exact, repeatable layout/text/color, write structured JSON: per-element bounding boxes, hex palette (up to ~16), and each text element's **literal string

  • visual styling**. Casual input works via magic-prompt (it expands to JSON). See references/json-prompting-and-layout.md.

Step 3 — Text, transparency, recipes

  • Text: ~0.97 OCR, multilingual, multi-line, logos/signage — but review every render.
  • Transparency: Background Remover → clean alpha cutout. Layerize Text (live, beta) turns rendered text into editable layers — restyle/rewrite copy without regenerating; works best on clear, straight type. 2K output; aspect ratios in multiples of 16.
  • Pick a recipe (quote card, carousel cover, logo concept, ad, poster). See references/text-rendering-and-recipes.md.

Step 4 — Iterate cheaply, then verify, disclose, ship

  • Iterate on Turbo / magic-prompt to lock layout; finalize on Quality with refined JSON. Per-image pricing — prompt/layout precision is the cost + quality lever.
  • Verify the rendered text and composition before publishing.
  • Disclose AI images (EU AI Act Article 50, California AB 853) and sign with C2PA; never pass an AI image off as a real photo. Open weights are non-commercial (commercial → plan/API).
  • Ship: generate per the integration guide → upload to WoopSocial Media → attach via scheduling-and-queue. WoopSocial doesn't generate images.

Quality bar — self-check

  • Did I match the tool to the job (route conversational/photoreal to nano-banana)?
  • Are text elements typed (exact string + styling + placement), with a hex palette and 2K/ aspect set, brand-grounded?
  • Did I use JSON where layout/text precision matters (and magic-prompt for casual)?
  • Did I plan iterate-cheap → finalize, and verify the rendered text?
  • Did I handle disclosure + C2PA, non-commercial license, and refuse real people / IP / logos?
  • Did I point to tools/integrations/ideogram.md for the API + WoopSocial flow (no claim WoopSocial generates images)?

Edge cases & pushback

  • "Exact headline + brand colors + placement" → structured JSON (bounding boxes + hex palette).
  • Conversational "now change the background" → route to nano-banana; Ideogram is layout-first.
  • Real person / copyrighted IP or logo / "post as a real photo" → refuse; disclose + C2PA; offer an original/owned alternative.
  • "Editable text layers" → Layerize Text is live (beta, all plans + API endpoint**)** — best on clear, straight standard type; curved/decorative text may not be detected.
  • "Generate it in WoopSocial" → WoopSocial doesn't generate; this prompts Ideogram, then the image is uploaded to Media and attached.
  • Long paragraph of text in-image → keep lines short, hierarchy clear; verify the render.
  • tools/integrations/ideogram.md — API/pricing/MCP, the upload-to-WoopSocial flow.
  • image-prompt — the router; nano-banana — the conversational/photoreal image sibling.
  • brand-profile — the visual brand; carousel-writer, caption-writer, hook-writer — copy that pairs with the asset; veo-3 — animate a still into video (image-to-video).
  • scheduling-and-queue — attach the image to a post and publish.

References

  • references/when-and-how-to-prompt.md — when to reach for Ideogram vs other tools, and the prompt anatomy.
  • references/json-prompting-and-layout.md — the 4.0 differentiator: structured JSON, bounding boxes, palettes.
  • references/text-rendering-and-recipes.md — the text superpower, transparency/2K, social recipes.
  • references/app-editor-and-canvas.md — the in-app editor workflow: Canvas, Magic Fill, Extend, Style References, Magic Prompt, brand models.
  • references/examples.md — weak→strong, a JSON layout, a text-heavy card, and honest scope.
