Phase A — Cover Image

Submit the plan with ONE or TWO steps:

1. Cover image — If {{reference_image}} is provided, use muapi image edit (model=bytedance-seedream-v4.5-edit); otherwise use muapi image generate (model=bytedance-seedream-v4.5).
   • Prompt: Xiaohongshu (RedNote/小红书) style cover photo for {{topic}} post. {{style}}. Aesthetic lifestyle photography, soft natural lighting, visually appealing composition, clean and airy feel. High engagement social media cover, editorial quality. Platform optimized for Chinese lifestyle app.
   • If {{text_overlay}} is provided, append: Include elegant text overlay saying "{{text_overlay}}" in a stylish font, placed at top or bottom third of image.
   • Aspect ratio: 3:4 if orientation is portrait, 1:1 if square

After generation, present the cover and offer:

• A set of 3 variations with different color moods (warm / cool / neutral)
• A carousel set (3 images for a RedNote carousel post)
• Upscaling for print/export quality

Notes

• RedNote covers perform best with: soft bokeh backgrounds, centered subjects, warm or pastel tones, and clear visual hierarchy.
• If topic is fashion/outfit, suggest ugc-lifestyle-try-on skill for wearable product shots.
• Korean/Japanese aesthetic filters (soft, matte, film grain) trend highly on the platform.

Notes for the Executing Agent

• This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call muapi CLI commands. Use muapi auth configure first if MUAPI_API_KEY is unset.
• For model IDs without a CLI alias yet, fall back to the raw endpoint via curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint> -H "x-api-key: $MUAPI_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{...}' and poll with muapi predict wait <request_id>.
• Substitute {{input_name}} placeholders with the user's actual inputs before issuing each call.
