Browsing Styles

Browse and preview 169 artistic styles for image generation. Each style includes prompt hints and a generated tile reference image.

• Helping users choose a style for their project
• Generating tile reference images for styles

Style Categories

Quick Reference (Popular Styles)

Style Picker (Default)

Running the preview server opens a browser with the full tile grid. The user clicks a style, views details in a modal, clicks "Select This Style". The script prints the selected style as JSON to stdout and exits automatically. Pick mode is the default.

STYLE_JSON=$(bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/preview_server.ts)

Parse STYLE_JSON for the id field and pass it as --style <id> to generate-image.

Options

bun run scripts/preview_server.ts                          # Pick mode (default): opens browser, returns JSON, exits
bun run scripts/preview_server.ts --port=4200              # Custom port
bun run scripts/preview_server.ts --no-open                # Don't auto-open browser
bun run scripts/preview_server.ts --browse                 # Browse-only mode: long-running server, no selection returned

Browse Mode

For standalone browsing without returning a selection, pass --browse:

bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/preview_server.ts --browse

This runs a long-lived server at localhost:3456. Use Ctrl+C to stop.

List Styles (CLI)

# List all styles
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/list_styles.ts

# Table format
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/list_styles.ts --table

# Filter by category
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/list_styles.ts --category design --table

# Search by name
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/list_styles.ts --search "watercolor"

# Show specific fields
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/list_styles.ts --fields id,shortName,name,category --table

Generate Tile Reference Images

Generate 1:1 tile images that visually represent each style:

# Generate all missing tiles
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/generate_tiles.ts --skip-existing

# Generate for a specific category
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/generate_tiles.ts --category creative --skip-existing

# Generate a single style tile
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/generate_tiles.ts --style cyberpunk

# Preview what would be generated
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/generate_tiles.ts --dry-run

# Higher concurrency (default: 2)
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/browsing-styles/scripts/generate_tiles.ts --concurrency 4 --skip-existing

Tiles are saved to assets/tiles/<style-id>.png (512x512 PNG).

Integration with generate-image

Use styles with the generate-image skill:

# Using style ID
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/generate-image/scripts/generate.ts "mountain landscape" --style impressionism

# Using short name
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/generate-image/scripts/generate.ts "portrait" --style brit

# Style with other options
bun run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/generate-image/scripts/generate.ts "city street" --style cybr --size 4K --aspect 16:9

When a tile image exists for the style, it is automatically sent as a visual reference alongside the prompt hints.

Style Registry

Styles are defined in assets/styles.json. Each style includes:

{
  "id": "cyberpunk",
  "shortName": "cybr",
  "name": "Cyberpunk",
  "category": "digital",
  "promptHints": "neon lights reflecting on rain-soaked streets...",
  "tilePrompt": "A rain-soaked cyberpunk megacity alley..."
}

• promptHints: Comma-separated descriptors prepended to user prompts
• tilePrompt: Full prompt used to generate the style's reference tile image

Adding Custom Styles

Edit assets/styles.json:

1. Choose a unique id (lowercase, hyphens)
2. Assign a short shortName (3-4 chars)
3. Write descriptive promptHints
4. Write a tilePrompt for generating the tile image
5. Run bun run scripts/generate_tiles.ts --style <id> to generate the tile
