Overview
image-genis the integrated image generation skillof the moai-media plugin. It analyzes the user's requirements and automatically routes to the optimal AI model.
- Higgsfield Soul (default): cinematic images, product photography, editorial style. Supports 15+ style presets.
- fal.ai models: Flux 1.1 Pro (photorealism), Ideogram 3.0 (Korean typography), Recraft V3 (vector/logo).
- Gemini Direct: special case for Korean typography.
Trigger keywords
This skill is automatically invoked for requests such as the following:
- "Generate an image", "Make an image"
- "Card news image", "Instagram thumbnail"
- "Product photo", "detail page banner"
- "Poster design", "ad creative"
- "Make a logo", "vector icon"
- "Cinematic image", "movie-like photo"
- "/moai-media image-gen" (direct invocation)
Workflow
Step 1: Analyze user requirements
Identify the following from the user prompt:
- Whether text is included: whether there is Korean/English typography
- Style: cinematic, product photography, editorial, photorealism, vector/logo
- Aspect ratio: 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 16:9 등
Step 2: Model routing
| Situation | Optimal model | Routing criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Large Korean typography | Ideogram 3.0 (fal.ai) or Gemini Direct | Text occupies 30% or more of the image |
| Cinematic/product photography | Higgsfield Soul (default) | product_photography, cinematic, editorial styles |
| General photorealism | Flux 1.1 Pro (fal.ai) | General photographic realism |
| Vector/logo | Recraft V3 (fal.ai) | Logo, icon, vector graphics |
| Small Korean typography | Gemini Direct | When text is less than 10% |
| Default | Higgsfield Soul | No explicit style specified |
Step 3: Image generation
Call the selected model's MCP tool or Python script.
Usage examples
Example 1: Cinematic product photo (Higgsfield Soul)
"프리미엄 커피 머신 제품 사진, 편집지 스타일, 부드러운 조명, 미니멀 배경"
→ Higgsfield Soul, style_preset: product_photography
Example 2: Card news title (Ideogram 3.0)
"'2025년 봄 트렌드'라는 한글 제목, 파스텔 톤 배경, 인스타그램 세로"
→ Ideogram 3.0 via fal.ai, aspect_ratio: 3:4
Example 3: Brand logo (Recraft V3)
"미니멀 로고, 서울 브랜드, 깔끔한 벡터 스타일, 블루와 화이트"
→ Recraft V3 via fal.ai
Example 4: Photorealistic landscape (Flux Pro)
"서울 여의도 공원 봄 벚꽃, 해 질 녘, 따뜻한 조명"
→ Flux 1.1 Pro via fal.ai
