What it does

Image Prompt is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. Use as the foundation and router for any image a post needs — turn a social need into a clear image brief, describe it with model-agnostic prompt craft, and route to the right tool. Run when the user says "I need a visual/image for this post," "what image should I use," "make a graphic," "help me prompt an image," or is unsure which image tool/model to use. Reads brand-profile for the visual brand. Teaches the image brief, the universal anatomy of a strong prompt in natural language, and a tool router…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/choosing-the-tool.md` and `references/examples.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation. It works with Google Gemini, Midjourney and Google Veo. 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

  • Says I need a visual/image for this post
  • What image should I use
  • Help me prompt an image
  • Is unsure which image tool/model to use

Example prompts

  • “I need a visual/image for this post,”
  • “what image should I use,”
  • “make a graphic,”
  • “/image-prompt”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gate: should this even be AI-generated?
  2. Write the brief
  3. Describe it (model-agnostic)
  4. Route to the tool
  5. Hand off, then 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

Image Prompt loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 252 tokens; SKILL.md has 653 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
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.7k

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.

Image Prompt (brief · craft · router)

The foundation of the visual cluster. When a post needs an image, this skill decides what image (the brief), describes it with model-agnostic craft, and routes to the right tool — then hands off. It sits above the tool-specific mini-skills (nano-banana, ideogram, flux, veo-3), which own their model's specific tricks.

Think of it as the visual equivalent of brand-profile/content-pillars: the shared decision layer the tool skills assume you've already worked through.

Step 0 — Gate: should this even be AI-generated?

AI generation is one option, not the default. A real photo (your actual product/space/team), a screenshot, UGC, or a chart often wins on authenticity and clarity — and AI must never fabricate your real people/place. Reach for generation when you need something that doesn't exist, must match a brand look, needs legible in-image text, or a consistent series — and no real asset fits. If a real asset is better, say so. (See references/the-image-brief.md.)

Step 1 — Write the brief

Read brand-profile.md, then answer four things: job/purpose (hero / explainer / quote graphic / product / lifestyle / thumbnail / background / ad), the one thing it must convey, format/aspect ratio for the destination, and the brand look. Output a one-line brief. See references/the-image-brief.md.

Step 2 — Describe it (model-agnostic)

Turn the brief into a specific, natural-language prompt — subject · composition · lighting · colour · style · mood · detail · constraints — and drop quality-token spam ("4k, masterpiece"). Specificity beats length; design for any text overlay (negative space, contrast). See references/prompt-anatomy.md.

Step 3 — Route to the tool

Pick by the image's dominant requirement:

  • Text / typographic → ideogram or nano-banana (both strong — honest pick by tooling).
  • Photoreal portrait/product → nano-banana or flux (Midjourney external). Surreal/painterly → Midjourney.
  • Editing ("change one thing, keep the rest") → nano-banana (conversational) or flux (Kontext).
  • Consistent character/product set → nano-banana (multi-image references) or flux (multi-reference).
  • Search-grounded infographics → nano-banana. Brand-exact hex / open weights / license control → flux.
  • Vector/SVG → Recraft. Video → veo-3.

When two fit, say both work and pick by the deciding factor — don't fake a winner. See references/choosing-the-tool.md.

Step 4 — Hand off, then ship

Hand off to the tool's mini-skill for model-specific craft (and tools/integrations/<tool>.md for the API). After generation: verify in-image text/data, disclose AI per platform/region, then upload to WoopSocial Media → attach via scheduling-and-queue. WoopSocial publishes; it doesn't generate.

Cross-cutting (always)

  • Disclose AI per platform/region (Meta "Made with AI", EU AI Act). Watermark behaviour varies by tool (SynthID on Google tools; none enforced on Ideogram) — don't rely on it for disclosure.
  • No real people / no IP — no real identifiable individuals, copyrighted characters, or trademarked logos; original directions only.
  • Verify in-image text and data before publishing.
  • Accessibility — contrast + legibility on mobile; leave room for overlays.

Quality bar — self-check

  • Did I gate (real asset vs AI) before generating?
  • Did I write a brief (job + the one thing + format + brand) and a specific, natural-language prompt (no token spam)?
  • Did I route by the dominant requirement with an honest which-tool read, and hand off?
  • Did I design for overlays/accessibility, and cover disclosure, IP, and verification?
  • Did I keep WoopSocial honest (publishes via Media; doesn't generate)?

Edge cases & pushback

  • "Just write a cool image prompt" → build the brief first; purpose before prompt.
  • "4k masterpiece ultra-detailed" → rewrite into a specific scene; drop quality tokens.
  • "Generate my real cafe/staff" → use a real photo; don't fabricate real people/place.
  • "Base it on [studio]'s characters" / a real person → refuse IP/real people; original direction.
  • "Which model — A or B?" → honest, tooling-based answer; both can be right.
  • "Generate it in WoopSocial" → WoopSocial doesn't generate; route to a tool, then upload + attach.
  • nano-banana, ideogram, flux, veo-3 — the tool-specific mini-skills this routes/hands off to.
  • tools/integrations/* — the connection/API for each tool; brand-profile — the visual brand.
  • carousel-writer, reels-script, caption-writer/hook-writer — consumers (image-prompt-pack / overlay copy).
  • scheduling-and-queue — upload the asset to Media and attach to a post.

References

  • references/the-image-brief.md — the "should this be AI?" gate and the four-question brief.

  • references/examples.md — end-to-end flows, weak→strong, the don't-generate gate, and honest scope.
