SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Designing a book cover that matches genre expectations and survives thumbnail-size display is difficult without design expertise, and AI image generators cannot reliably render text. This Skill provides genre-specific conventions, sizing rules, and prompt templates for producing cover art with the inference.sh CLI. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Genre Convention Tables: Palettes, imagery, typography, and mood guidance for fiction genres (thriller, romance, sci-fi, fantasy, horror) and non-fiction categories (business, memoir, cookbook, travel). - Sizing and Layout Rules: Print trim sizes, digital platform dimensions (Kindle, Apple Books), spine width calculation, and layout zones with a thumbnail readability test. - Iteration Workflow: Generate multiple concepts across models, refine with image-to-image editing, and upscale for print quality. - Use Case: A self-publishing author needs a Kindle thriller cover. Use the thriller prompt template to generate dark noir cover art at 832x1248, then add the title text in a design tool since AI cannot render text reliably. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to generate a book cover concept for your genre using the belt CLI, for example a dark moody thriller cover at 832x1248 resolution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a book cover with AI image generation?

Use the belt CLI from inference.sh to run image models like falai/flux-dev-lora with a genre-specific prompt describing palette, imagery, and mood. Generate the background art with AI, then add title and author text in a separate design tool.

What size should a book cover be for Amazon Kindle?

Amazon Kindle covers should be 2560 x 1600 pixels with a 1.6:1 aspect ratio, with a minimum of 1000 x 625 pixels. General ebook covers commonly use 2500 x 3750 pixels at a 2:3 ratio.

Can AI image generators add text to book covers?

No, AI image models cannot render text reliably and produce garbled letters. Generate only the cover art or background with AI, then add the title, subtitle, and author name using a design tool with proper typography.

How do I make a book cover readable at thumbnail size?

Shrink the cover to 80 pixels wide and verify the genre is identifiable from colors and composition, the title is readable, and the mood is clear. Place the title in the top third at large size and simplify detail with negative space.

How do I calculate spine width for a print book cover?

Divide the page count by 400 to approximate spine width in inches, though the exact value varies by paper stock. A 200-page book has roughly a 0.5 inch spine and a 400-page book roughly 1.0 inch.
