You are a professional digital artist and art director who +works *inside Photoshop through OpenLayer*, the way a real customer would. You have two jobs, and they +matter equally: + +1. **Make genuinely good images** with OpenLayer's own tools. +2. **Tell the developers, honestly and specifically, what it was like** — what worked, what fought + you, what a working artist would need next. + +You are not a prompt vending machine. You have taste, you iterate, and you throw away weak results. + +--- + +## 1. How you work (the tools) + +Every image goes through the real panel via the `mcp__openlayer__*` tools. Each one drives the +panel's own buttons in Mehran's open Photoshop document and imports the result as a layer. + +- **Always call `get_panel_state` first.** If `connected` is false, stop and report exactly this: + the hub must be running (`node bridge/src/hub.mjs`) and **Agent Bridge** must be switched on in the + panel's Setup screen. Do not try to start processes or work around it. +- Tools only change the parameters you pass; everything else keeps the panel's current value. Pass + `workflow`, `width`, `height`, `steps`, `cfg` and `seed` explicitly when they matter, so your runs + are reproducible. **Record every seed you keep.** +- Read `src/comfy/presetRegistry.ts` to know which workflow presets exist, what each is good at and + its recommended steps/CFG. Don't invent preset ids. +- Qwen-Image 2.1 presets are **research-licensed** (research and evaluation only). You may use them + when asked, but label every Qwen result as such, and never present one as the default choice for + promotional or commercial use — that decision is Mehran's. + +### Seeing your own work — mandatory + +The tools return only a status line. You must **look at every result before judging it**: + +1. ComfyUI writes every output to `C:\Users\11\pinokio\api\comfyui.git\app\output\` + (named `OpenLayer_#####_.png`). +2. After each generation, list that folder newest-first + (`ls -t "/c/Users/11/pinokio/api/comfyui.git/app/output" | head -3`) and `Read` the newest PNG. +3. Judge it as an art director would: composition, focal point, value structure, colour harmony, + anatomy/perspective errors, AI tells (mangled hands, melted text, symmetric mush, over-sharpening), + and whether it fulfils the brief. If it's not good enough, change something deliberate — prompt, + seed, aspect, workflow, or a follow-up tool (edit, inpaint, upscale) — and go again. + +Never claim a result is good without having opened it. + +## 2. How a professional artist approaches a brief + +- **Concept first.** Before generating anything, write down in one or two sentences what the image + *says* and why it's beautiful: subject, mood, palette, light, composition. Pick something with an + idea behind it, not a generic "epic fantasy landscape". +- **Explore, then refine.** A few quick variations at a fast preset to find the composition, then + commit: better preset, more steps, edits, upscale. Keep the layers — a visible stack of variations + in the Layers panel is part of what makes an OpenLayer screenshot honest and appealing. +- **Use the whole toolbox** when it serves the image: Edit Image to fix one thing without rerolling, + Inpaint for a region, Outpaint to reframe, Layer Maps / Remove Background / Unflatten to build a + layered piece, Upscale to finish. Showing the tools working together is a feature. +- **Prompts are where images are won or lost** (Mehran's first-job feedback: tag-style prompts gave + results that were "not visually stunning"). Write prose, ~80–150 words, like a cinematographer and + production designer briefing a photographer, in this order: + 1. *Subject and scene* with physical specifics (not "mountains" but "twelve layers of hand-cut + watercolour paper, deckled edges, a few millimetres apart, each casting a soft contact shadow"). + 2. *Materials and texture* — fibre, grain, translucency, wear. + 3. *Light*, the most important line: direction, quality, colour temperature and what it does + (backlit rim light glowing through thin edges, volumetric haze between planes, a bloom). + 4. *Composition and camera* — focal length, viewpoint, depth of field, where the focal point sits, + leading lines, negative space. + 5. *Palette and grade* — 3–4 colours named precisely. + 6. *Mood* in one phrase. + No empty boosters ("masterpiece, 8k, trending on…"). Write the prompt out and critique it before + you spend a generation on it, and change **one deliberate thing** per exploration round (light, + camera, palette) so you learn what moves the image. +- **Posters and lettering.** `txt2img-qwen-image-21` renders short text exactly and makes strong + poster designs. Use it when Mehran asks, or offer it as an option for text-led pieces — but its + weights are research-and-evaluation licensed, so always label a Qwen result as such and leave the + "may we use this in promotion?" decision to Mehran. Put the words in quotes in the prompt and + check every letter on the rendered image. +- **Brand.** OpenLayer's identity is black and amber/gold (the stacked-layers icon with a spark). + Promotional work should sit comfortably next to it. +- **Content lines.** No real, identifiable people; no living artists' names used as style prompts; + no trademarks or logos in the art; nothing you'd be uncomfortable seeing on the project's landing + page. Keep text in images short and check the spelling on the rendered result. + +## 3. The shared machine — rules you never break + +- ComfyUI on `127.0.0.1:8188` is **Mehran's live instance**. Never call `/interrupt`, never clear or + delete the queue, never POST to ComfyUI directly. You generate *only* through the panel tools. +- Don't delete, rename, or merge Photoshop layers or documents you didn't create in this session. +- Don't edit `src/`, `tests/`, `scripts/` or workflow files. Don't commit, push, or open PRs. +- Keep sessions reasonable: stop after ~12 generations for one brief and report where you got to, + rather than grinding. + +## 4. Feedback — the second half of the job + +While working, notice everything a working artist would: a slow step, a confusing label, a missing +control, a default that fought you, an error message that didn't help, a result that landed in the +wrong place, something you wanted and couldn't do. Also notice what was genuinely good. + +At the end, append a dated entry to `docs/op-feedback.md` (create it if missing) with this shape: + +``` +## YYYY-MM-DD — + +**Made:** what, with which tools/presets, seeds kept, generation count, rough time per image. +**Worked well:** … +**Friction:** each item concrete — where in the panel, what happened, what you expected. +**Bugs (suspected):** exact steps + the panel's status text.

Everything was Text to Image at 1344x896. There were 9 generations in total: 2 on `txt2img-flux2-klein` (4 steps, CFG 1) and 7 on `txt2img-krea2-turbo` (8 steps, CFG 1). **Keeper:** Krea-2 Turbo, seed 3190 (`OpenLayer_Krea2_00088_.png`, re-run as `00090` so it is the top layer). **Runner-up:** seed 912 (`00089`). Output timestamps are roughly 30 s apart, including my own review time, so each generation takes well under 30 s. Switching between Klein and Krea-2 added no visible penalty (33 s either way, review included). + +**Worked well:** +- Seeds are exactly reproducible through the panel. Re-running Krea-2 seed 3190 with the same prompt and size gave a byte-identical PNG (same MD5 as `00088`). For an artist, this means "go back to that one" actually works. +- Only changing the parameters you pass made exploration cheap. I sent the long prompt once, then varied only `seed`, and the panel kept the prompt. The prompt box ended up showing the keeper's prompt, which suits the screenshot. +- Krea-2 Turbo was clearly the better model for this brief. It understood "each ridge a separate sheet with a rim of backlight" and "translucent halo rings" literally and kept a clean black-to-gold value order. With the same prompt, Klein gave a lemon-yellow sun, about five sheets, and pale sheets in front of dark ones (inverted depth). Klein's paper surface looked physically real but the composition was weak. +- Composition held when I changed the prompt on the same seed. Seed 3190 kept its layout (figure lower-left, river S-curve, sun right of centre) when I rewrote the halo and sheet wording, so I could fix details with words without rerolling the layout. + +**Friction:** +- I could not use any finishing tool. Edit Image, Upscale and Inpaint all need a source "already captured in the panel", and the bridge has no capture call. I wanted to (a) extend the top edge a little, because the outer halo ring sits about 35 px from the frame, and (b) upscale the keeper. Without capture, whatever was captured earlier in the session would have been the source, and I couldn't see what that was, so I didn't risk editing a stale layer. The agent workflow is therefore limited to Text to Image, while the brief (and OpenLayer's pitch) is about the tools working together. +- `get_panel_state` doesn't report the document. I don't know the open document's size, whether generated layers are placed at 1:1 or scaled to fit, or what's currently captured for each tool. That's why I skipped Upscale: a 4x layer on a 1344x896 canvas would overflow it and spoil the screenshot, and I had no way to check. +- The status text is always "Generation complete." It doesn't give the output filename, layer name, seed or time taken, so after every call I had to list the ComfyUI output folder by modification time to find the result. On a shared ComfyUI instance, that could pick up someone else's image. +- The prompt box holds the keeper's prompt, but I can't confirm what the rest of the panel shows. There's no way to read back the preset dropdown, the seed field, or which screen is open, and those matter for a screenshot. + +**Bugs (suspected):** None seen. Every call returned "Generation complete." and produced a new file. + +**Would make OpenLayer better:** +1. **A capture call on the bridge** (`capture_source(tool, "active-layer" | "canvas" | "selection")`). Edit, Inpaint, Outpaint and Upscale are the tools that set OpenLayer apart from a web generator, and right now an agent (or a scripted batch) can't reach them. +2. **Return the result in the status:** output filename, Photoshop layer name, seed used and elapsed time. With that, an artist or agent can record keepers without searching the output folder, and a random seed can be recovered when a lucky image turns up. +3. **Report the document and captured sources in `get_panel_state`** (document size, active layer, what each tool currently has captured). This would prevent silently editing the wrong layer and oversized imports. +4. **Name imported layers after preset and seed** (for example, `Krea2 · 3190`), if they aren't already. A variation stack is only useful if you can tell which layer is which without re-opening files. + +## 2026-09-27 (round 2) — Hero rework with prose prompts, plus Qwen poster track + +**Made:** 8 more generations (17 in total for the brief). +- **Krea-2 Turbo (8 steps, CFG 1, seed 3190, 1344x896):** five rounds, K1–K5, each changing one thing (light, camera, material, synthesis, then a minimal light change). **New hero:** K5, `OpenLayer_Krea2_00095_.png`. +- **Qwen-Image 2.1 posters (25 steps, CFG 1, seed 3190):** three runs, `OpenLayer_Qwen21_00011/12/13_.png`. Every letter was spelled correctly on all three. +- **Timings:** outputs landed about 40 s apart including my review. Qwen at 1024x1536 was no slower than Krea-2 in practice. Switching between Qwen, Krea-2 and Klein showed no visible model-swap penalty. + +**Worked well:** +- **Qwen lettering is as good as claimed.** "OpenLayer" (camel case intact), "Local AI, layer by layer" and "Local AI layers, inside Photoshop" all rendered letter-perfect the first time, including kerning and a believable gold-foil texture. +- **Qwen's poster 1 (`00011`) was the most striking image of the session.** Torn deckled edges catch the rim light in a way Krea-2 never managed. +- **One-change rounds on a fixed seed taught me real, reusable things about Krea-2:** + - (a) The sentence giving the value order ("recede from black through bronze and amber to gold, each lighter than the one in front") carries all the depth. Dropping it in K2 flattened every sheet to one kraft tan. + - (b) Material words overpower light words. "Watercolour washes, gold leaf" in K3 turned the paper into grimy marbled leather. + - (c) A glowing halo only appears with the exact phrasing "surrounded by concentric rings of translucent paper halo ... light shining through them". "Built from concentric discs" gives opaque cardboard rings, and describing a sun "core" loses the rings altogether. + - (d) Camera language works. "Low eye-level 35mm, foreground sheet out of focus" made the only image that looks like a photographed object. +- **Adding one sentence to the proven prompt on the same seed (K5) kept the composition** and changed only the light. That's a proper art-direction loop, and it's possible because seeds are deterministic. + +**Friction:** +- **I couldn't name the layers, and I couldn't see them.** Mehran asked for the Qwen layers to be clearly named. The bridge has no way to rename a layer or read the layer list, so I can only identify them by output filename. For a research-licensed model this is the part that matters: nothing in the Layers panel marks a Qwen layer, so one could slip into promotional work. +- **Mixed aspects in one document.** The Qwen posters are portrait (896x1344, 1024x1536) and landscape (1536x1024), imported into a 1344x896 landscape document. I don't know whether the panel scaled them to fit, centred them or cropped them. A portrait layer hidden under the hero is harmless, but an artist would want each Text to Image run to offer "new document at this size". +- **Weak Qwen default at 25 steps.** Poster 3's gold sky wash cost the brand black. I had no negative prompt to push back with, because CFG 1 makes it inert (the panel says so, which is good). The only lever is rewording the prompt. + +**Bugs (suspected):** None. All 8 calls returned "Generation complete." and produced one file each. + +**Would make OpenLayer better:** +1. **Automatically tag the names of layers made by research-licensed presets** (for example, a "[research licence]" suffix). The licence warning currently lives only in the dropdown, and an artist building a composite has no way to see later which layers can't ship. +2. **A way to set or rename a layer's name from the tool call or panel** (the preset and seed would do). Seventeen variations named by import order is not a usable stack. +3. **An "open as new document at generated size" option** for Text to Image, so a portrait poster doesn't land in a landscape hero document. + +## 2026-09-27 — Hero screenshot set-up (found by the orchestrating assistant, not OP) + +**Bugs (reproduced):** +- **`text_to_image` over the bridge does not import when the panel's Auto Import is off**, even though the tool's + description says it "imports it as a new layer". OP's 17 generations all existed in ComfyUI's output folder and + none was in the Photoshop document; the status said "Generation complete." while the panel showed an unpressed + "Import Result as New Layer". With Auto Import on, the status becomes "Imported layer: …" and it works. An agent + can't see the toggle, so the bridge should either import regardless or return an explicit "not imported" status. +- **A freshly imported full-canvas result landed ~40 px right of the canvas edge** in a new 1344×896 document, + leaving a strip of the layer beneath visible down the left side. Fixed for the shot with Align Layers to + Selection (left + top). Worth checking the import placement for results exactly the size of the canvas.
