For each reference image:
References are high-priority inputs. Perform deep visual analysis to extract **specific, concrete, reproducible** elements — not vague summaries.

| Visual characteristics | Style, colors, composition |
| Content/subject | What the reference depicts |
| Style match | Which type/palette/rendering align |
| Usage recommendation | `direct` / `style` / `palette` |
For each reference image, extract ALL of the following:
| Analysis | Description | Example (good vs bad) |
|----------|-------------|----------------------|
| **Brand elements** | Logos, wordmarks, specific typography treatments | Good: "Logo uses vertical parallel lines for 'm'" / Bad: "Has a logo" |
| **Signature patterns** | Unique decorative motifs, textures, geometric patterns | Good: "Woven intersecting curves forming diamond grid" / Bad: "Has patterns" |
| **Color palette** | Exact hex values or close approximations for key colors | Good: "#2D4A3E dark teal, #F5F0E0 cream" / Bad: "Dark and light colors" |
| **Layout structure** | Specific spatial arrangement, banner placement, zone splits | Good: "Bottom 30% dark banner with branding" / Bad: "Has a banner" |
| **Typography** | Font style, weight, spacing, case, positioning | Good: "Uppercase, wide letter-spacing, handwritten ep number" / Bad: "Has text" |
| **Content/subject** | What the reference depicts | Factual description |
| **Usage recommendation** | `direct` / `style` / `palette` | Based on analysis |

### Reference Image Priority ⚠️
When user provides reference images, they are **HIGH PRIORITY** and MUST strongly influence the generated cover:
- **References override defaults**: If reference images conflict with preferred palette/rendering, the reference visual identity takes precedence in the prompt
- **Concrete > abstract**: Extract specific, reproducible visual elements (exact patterns, logo treatments, color hex values, layout structures) — not vague descriptions like "clean style"
- **Mandatory language**: Use "MUST", "REQUIRED", "CRITICAL" in the prompt for reference elements — generic "follow the style" is insufficient for image generation models
- **Visible in output**: After generation, verify that reference elements are actually present in the cover. If not, strengthen the prompt and regenerate

## Reference-Driven Design ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY
When reference images are provided, they are the **primary visual input** and MUST strongly influence the output. The cover should look like it belongs to the same visual family as the references.
**Passing `--ref` alone is NOT enough.** Image generation models often ignore reference images unless the prompt text explicitly describes what to reproduce. Always combine `--ref` with detailed textual instructions.

**Passing `--ref` alone is NOT enough.** Image generation models frequently ignore reference images unless the prompt text explicitly and forcefully describes what to reproduce. You MUST always write detailed textual instructions regardless of whether `--ref` is used.

# Reference Style
Follow the visual style of the attached reference image(s):
- [1-2 sentence style summary from analysis]
# Reference Style — MUST INCORPORATE
CRITICAL: The generated cover MUST visually reference the provided images. The cover must feel like it belongs to the same visual family.
## From Ref 1 ([filename]) — REQUIRED elements:
- [Brand element]: [Specific description of logo/wordmark treatment, e.g., "The logo uses vertical parallel lines (|||) for the letter 'm'. Reproduce this exact treatment."]
- [Signature pattern]: [Specific description, e.g., "Woven intersecting curves forming a diamond/lozenge grid pattern. This MUST appear prominently as a banner, border, or background section."]
- [Colors]: [Exact hex values, e.g., "Dark teal #2D4A3E background, cream #F5F0E0 text"]
- [Typography]: [Specific treatment, e.g., "Uppercase text with wide letter-spacing"]
- [Layout element]: [Specific spatial element, e.g., "Bottom banner strip in dark color"]
## From Ref 2 ([filename]) — REQUIRED elements:
[Same detailed breakdown]
## Integration approach:
[Specific layout instruction describing how reference elements combine with the cover content, e.g., "Use a SPLIT LAYOUT: main illustration area (warm cream background) occupies ~65% of the image, while a dark teal BANNER STRIP (with the woven line pattern from Ref 2) runs along the bottom ~35%, containing branding elements from Ref 1."]
```
**If file saved BUT skill does NOT support `--ref`**:
- Embed detailed text description in prompt:
```
# Reference Style (Text Description)
Emulate the following visual style from reference image(s):
Reference 1: [filename]
- Style: [detailed rendering technique description]
- Composition: [layout and hierarchy description]
- Elements: [key visual elements used]
- Mood: [emotional tone and visual weight]
[Repeat for additional references]
Apply these style characteristics to the cover design while maintaining the specified Type, Palette, and Rendering dimensions.
```
**Key rules**:
- Each visual element gets its own bullet with "MUST" or "REQUIRED"
- Descriptions must be **specific enough to reproduce** — not vague ("clean style")
- The integration approach must describe **exact spatial arrangement**
- After generation, verify reference elements are visible; if not, strengthen and regenerate
**If style/palette extracted verbally (NO file saved)**:
- DO NOT add references metadata to prompt
- Append extracted info directly to prompt body:

Use this format when analyzing reference images. Extract **specific, concrete, reproducible** details — not vague summaries.
| Aspect | Analysis Points |
|--------|-----------------|
| **Rendering** | Line quality (clean/sketchy/painted), texture presence, depth treatment |
| **Composition** | Element placement, whitespace ratio, visual flow |
| **Typography** | Font style, text placement, hierarchy (if present) |
| **Elements** | Icon vocabulary, decorative motifs, character style |
| **Mood** | Contrast level, saturation, visual weight |
| Aspect | Analysis Points | Good Example | Bad Example |
|--------|-----------------|--------------|-------------|
| **Brand elements** | Logos, wordmarks, distinctive typography | "Logo 'm' formed by 3 vertical lines" | "Has a logo" |
| **Signature patterns** | Unique motifs, textures, geometric patterns | "Woven curves forming diamond grid" | "Has patterns" |
| **Colors** | Exact hex values or close approximations | "#2D4A3E dark teal, #F5F0E0 cream" | "Dark and light" |
| **Layout** | Spatial zones, banner placement, proportions | "Bottom 30% is dark banner with branding" | "Has a banner" |
| **Typography** | Font style, weight, case, spacing, position | "Uppercase, wide letter-spacing, right-aligned" | "Has text" |
| **Rendering** | Line quality, texture, depth treatment | "Topographic contour lines as background texture" | "Clean style" |
| **Elements** | Icon vocabulary, decorative motifs | "Geometric intersecting line ornaments at corners" | "Has decorations" |
**Output**: Each extracted element should be written as a **copy-pasteable prompt instruction** prefixed with "MUST" or "REQUIRED".
