# Image generation

One command, already on `PATH`. Run it in your shell (the `terminal` tool in
Hermes, Bash in Claude Code, `bash` in pi) exactly as shown: no `python3` in
front and no directory. It is not a tool itself.

```bash
comfy-image.py 'PROMPT'                              # 1024x1024, a new random seed
comfy-image.py --seed 531322723 'PROMPT'             # same composition, changed prompt
comfy-image.py --width 1344 --height 768 'PROMPT'    # landscape; 768x1344 portrait
```

Put the prompt in single quotes, and write it without apostrophes ("the dog is",
not "the dog's"), so the shell passes it through whole.

## Write the prompt yourself

Never pass the user's words through as they are. Turn them into one paragraph
of plain description, 40 to 80 words: the subject and what it is doing, the
setting, the medium or style, the lighting, the colours, the composition.
Describe only what should be in the picture; there is no negative prompt.

> watercolor of buffalo playing basketball →
> A loose watercolor painting of two shaggy American bison playing basketball
> on an outdoor court at golden hour, one rearing up for a slam dunk while the
> other leaps to block, a chain-link fence and autumn trees behind, soft
> wet-on-wet washes, visible paper texture, warm ochre and blue palette

Words that must appear in the picture go in double quotes inside the prompt
(still inside the outer single quotes), and keep them short: the model
misspells long text.

## Follow-ups change the last image

When the user asks for a change ("make them zebras", "at night", "wider"),
take the prompt and seed of the last image from your own earlier reply, edit
only what they asked for, and run again with that `--seed` so the rest stays
put.
Use a new seed only when they want something different or another try.

## Reply

The output ends with a `MEDIA:` line. Start your reply with the prompt and
seed you used, as `Prompt: ... (seed 531322723)`, so the next change can reuse
them, then:

- **Hermes**: end your reply with that `MEDIA:` line exactly as printed, on its
  own line. That is what attaches the image.
- **Claude Code**: read the PNG with the Read tool to see it, and give the path.
- **pi**: give the path.

If it says moria is asleep or unreachable, say so; there is no other image
generator to fall back on. Do not use web search or `curl` for this.
