  Generate or edit images with Codex's built-in image generation from any agent, through an MCP tool or a plain CLI. For every image request it first proposes at least four divergent style directions (24 distilled templates, 48 presets, 20 Mondo poster artists), lets the user pick, expands the prompt, generates, and checks the result. Scenario craft for 视频封面, 视频海报, 小红书配图, 公众号封面, X 封面, 朋友圈海报, 书籍封面, 专辑封面, 产品海报, 人物写真, 节气海报, 展览海报, PPT 页面, 图生图. Use for 生图, 配图, 海报, 封面, "给我几个风格", "用 Codex 画一张". Excludes: editing photos with local tools, charts or diagrams from data, UI mockups, video generation, or anything that needs an API key-based image service.

# Qiaomu Codex ImageGen

Codex ships an image generator that other agents cannot call. This package relays to it (`codex app-server`) and adds the craft that makes the pictures usable: a library of 24 templates (48 presets) distilled from 689 reference prompts, Mondo poster techniques, scenario presets, and a rule set for facts, text and identity.

## How to call it

1. **MCP tools present** (`suggest_directions`, `compose_prompt`, `generate_image`, `search_prompts`, `get_prompt`, `build_prompt`, `list_catalog`; in Claude Code `mcp__qiaomu-codex-imagegen__*`): use them.
2. **No MCP**: run the CLI from this skill's folder: `node scripts/cli.mjs suggest|compose|generate|search|prompt|list` (see `--help`).
3. Neither available: tell the user to install (README). Requires the Codex CLI, logged in. Never fake an image with code.

## The workflow: suggest, choose, compose, generate, check

### 1. Intake (no tool call yet)

Extract: **topic**, **deliverable** (what it is for), ratio, **text mode**, facts that must be exact, references and the role of each (`identity` person, `product` real packaging, `style`, `layout`), must-keep, must-avoid.

- Text mode: `none` (no text), `exact_short` (only the short text you list), `typeset_later` (text-free base with room for the title).
- **Posters, covers, cards and slides need a typographic layer.** A finished poster has a hierarchy: headline, subtitle, one or two info lines, a small tag. With only a headline, or none, the result is concept art, not a poster. So for these deliverables use `exact_short` and give a complete short copy set: `headline` plus `copy` as lines separated by `｜`. Take the lines from the user's facts. If they gave none, ask, or write clearly fictional sample lines and say so; never invent real prices, dates of real events, names, statistics.
- `none` fits portraits and photos (T09–T11), product macros that carry no information, and base images the user will typeset. Keep every string short and read the result: models misspell, especially long Chinese.
- Ask only blocking questions, at most three: a missing subject, a real person's identity reference, or facts that must appear. Fill low-risk gaps with a stated default.

### 2. Suggest at least four divergent directions

Call `suggest_directions` with the topic, deliverable and any headline/text mode. It returns **four or more directions with different visual mechanisms** (typography-led, graphic structure, photographic, product macro, material/space, plus a Mondo artist option for poster-like work). Never mix two mechanisms into one image.

Present them to the user briefly, one numbered item each:

- name and template id,
- **one concrete sentence of what this topic would look like in that mechanism** (write it yourself from `mechanism` and the topic, not a copy of the lock text),
- what you still need from them (subject, data, reference photo),
