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-generator agent
-
Multiple images: Spawn N meigen:image-generator agents 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 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
-
referenceImages takes an array of public URLs: ["https://..."]
-
Always pair with a detailed text prompt — reference guides style, prompt guides content
-
From gallery: get_inspiration returns image URLs
-
From generation: generate_image returns Image URL in its response
-
From local file: call upload_reference_image first 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
