Hard rules

P0 required (create / complex edit)

FieldMust answer
purposeWhat job does this piece do?
audienceWho sees it?
emotion2–4 tone words
visual_thesisOne sentence visual argument (not “科技感”)
visual_heroThe single primary subject
composition{ "archetype": "…", "rules": {…} }
avoidExplicit anti-list for this run

P1 optional (fill only when known)

visual_focus · palette · typography · tokens · reference_lock · style_dna

Do not invent junk to fill P1. Dashboard ≠ Poster ≠ Image Gen.

Thesis quality

Bad: 科技感 / 高级 / 好看

Good: one concrete sentence — materials, space, single focus, what it is not.

Checklist

  • P0 complete before paint
  • Thesis is falsifiable (Review can check fidelity)
  • avoid names at least 3 concrete bans for this brief
  • subtraction_intent: true unless user asked for dense collage
