Image generation

Identify the final deliverable before generating. Do not switch product types because another tool or skill is available.

Route the request

Standalone image

Generate and attach the requested image.

Visual asset inside another artifact

Generate the illustration, diagram, texture, or analogy for later composition. Keep the parent document or presentation as the final deliverable. Follow its governing skill.

Editable presentation

Read and follow the presentation skills. Build or modify the PowerPoint and keep required content editable. Use generated imagery only as an integrated exhibit when useful.

Complete image-generated slide

Generate the finished 16:9 slide as one image. Use source PowerPoint content when supplied, but do not reconstruct an editable PowerPoint unless asked.

Before generation, read and follow the installed pptx skill. Its presentation communication hierarchy governs the slide: argument and audience-facing content come before layout, and layout comes before aesthetics. Image generation is the rendering method, not a replacement for presentation reasoning.

The generated slide must contain:

1. an action title stating the takeaway;
2. one coherent argument or explanatory sequence;
3. concise audience-facing wording;
4. an integrated exhibit or visual analogy that carries meaning;
5. a clear implication, intervention, or “so what”;
6. readable presentation-scale hierarchy and spacing.

Do not return a wordless conceptual illustration when the user requested a slide. Do not add provenance labels or generation disclaimers unless the user explicitly requests them.

Resolve common wording

User request	Deliverable
“Generate an image”	Standalone image
“Generate an image for this slide”	Visual asset for composition
“Improve this PowerPoint visually and keep it editable”	Editable PowerPoint
“Make an image-generated slide”	Complete worded slide image
“Use this PowerPoint's content to make an image-generated slide”	Read the PowerPoint, then generate the complete worded slide image

When wording remains genuinely ambiguous, infer from the most specific requested noun and recent user correction. Ask only if the choice would materially change the deliverable and cannot be inferred.

Reference behavior

The successful stress-capacity pattern is the qualitative reference: a presentation-ready action title, a three-stage explanation, an integrated capacity/overflow analogy, and a de-escalation takeaway composed as one finished slide image. Reuse the communication hierarchy, not the literal artwork.
