SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Creative teams need multiple visual directions before committing to campaign assets, but generating isolated chat images produces no reviewable, reusable board. This Skill turns a light brief into a structured mood board of 16-30 generated visual references with intake qualification, saved run state, and a build handoff.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intake-Gated Board Creation: Runs a qualification scale (Level 0-3) via an empty-board MCP intake widget or chat questions before writing the board spec.
  • Batch Image Generation: Writes a JSON spec with per-item prompts and remix suggestions, then generates images through Codex exec workers in batches of up to 64 via a local mood-board server.
  • Inline MCP Review and Remix: Renders the saved run through render_moodboard_board_widget with selection, expand, copy, annotation-based edits, and slot-based Remix controls.
  • Use Case: A restaurant owner asks for visual directions for a new brand. The Skill runs intake, generates 18 single-scene reference images across three territories, and presents an inline board so the owner picks a direction before ads or menus are built.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to build an image-first mood board for your business brief, answer the intake questions, then review the generated board and pick a direction.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a mood board with multiple concept images?

Provide a brief describing theme, audience, and goal, then answer the intake questions. The Skill writes a JSON spec of 16-30 single-scene image prompts, generates them through Codex exec workers, and renders an inline mood-board widget for review.

How many images can be generated in one mood board batch?

The local mood-board server accepts up to 64 images per request, routed through Codex exec workers with a concurrency cap of 64. Runs above 64 approved images are chunked into groups of 64, and generating more than 12 images requires user confirmation first.

Can I remix or edit images on an existing mood board?

Yes. The board's Remix controls offer style, palette, scene, props, character, and format variations per tile, and spot annotations trigger localized source-image edits. New versions are appended back into the same saved run directory.

Why does mood board image generation fail with Operation not permitted?

This happens when the sandbox blocks Codex CLI access to the ~/.open-cowork state directory. The fix is to rerun the local mood-board server with escalated or outside-sandbox permissions and retry the same approved batch with a new idempotency key.

What are the limitations of mood board image prompts?

Each tile must be one self-contained visual reference image, not a collage, grid, contact sheet, or mini mood board. Prompts must avoid readable text, logos, UI labels, and private details, and the board is directional exploration, not publish-ready production assets.
