See the fallen-angel transformation in one glance

  • The native cover names the recipe while showing the full visual language
  • Huge white wings and the lowered face read immediately against a crushed-black void
  • Bloom, grain, and damaged-video texture make the result feel recovered rather than polished
Let the wings consume the frame
GPT Image 2.0 · SKAI source

Let the wings consume the frame

  • The original face remains recognizable in the single inset
  • Gigantic feathered wings dominate without erasing the fragile lowered pose
  • Crushed blacks, dirty grain, and blown highlights create the intended forgotten-video finish
Keep identity beneath crushed blacks
GPT Image 2.0 · SKAI source

Keep identity beneath crushed blacks

  • The clean input identity survives the darker hair and side-profile composition
  • A brilliant wing creates a readable silhouette inside heavy negative space
  • The grain and bloom feel tactile instead of digitally pristine
Turn soft features into a gothic still
GPT Image 2.0 · SKAI source

Turn soft features into a gothic still

  • The subject remains recognizable while the lowered gaze becomes more vulnerable
  • The wing light wraps around the face without revealing a modern environment
  • Subtle tape scratches and uneven exposure sell the degraded archive aesthetic
Push bloom until it feels haunted
GPT Image 2.0 · SKAI source

Push bloom until it feels haunted

  • The source face and white shirt remain legible beneath a radical lighting change
  • The left wing blows into the body and lens exactly as the prompt requests
  • The empty black surround keeps the portrait lonely and intimate
Let feather light overpower the lens
GPT Image 2.0 · SKAI source

Let feather light overpower the lens

  • The face remains anchored even as hair, pose, and lighting become dreamlike
  • Both wings extend beyond the body and overpower the frame
  • Extreme bloom and sensor grain produce the intended low-fidelity music-video still
Hold the face inside a damaged tape
GPT Image 2.0 · SKAI source

Hold the face inside a damaged tape

  • The reference inset makes identity preservation easy to judge
  • The face, shoulders, glowing wings, and negative space form one compact emotional frame
  • Horizontal interference, grain, and soft focus create a convincing degraded recording

The official run

Prepare -> Validate -> Transform -> Inspect

  1. 1. prepare
    free

    One run pinned to the portrait, exact gathered prompt, and selected model route.

  2. 2. validate
    free

    The 3:4 portrait and prompt contract checked locally.

  3. 3. transform
    paid

    One dreamcore fallen-angel portrait from one approved prediction.

    Explicit approval required

  4. 4. inspect
    free

    Automatic file checks plus an actual visual review.

    Explicit approval required

Model routes

  • economy: Nano Banana 2 Lite · 3:4
  • default: Nano Banana 2 · 3:4
  • premium: Nano Banana Pro · 3:4

What prevents waste

  • The complete contract validates locally before spending.
  • Paid generation needs an explicit approval flag.
  • The prediction ID is saved before polling.
  • Interrupted jobs resume instead of duplicating.
  • Three attempts is the hard cap.

# Dreamcore Angel

Use the packaged runner and exact prompt. Do not call Replicate separately or create another render path.

From the extracted kit's `v3` directory:

```bash
npm install
npm run format:skai-image -- check --format=dreamcore-angel
npm run format:skai-image -- smoke --format=dreamcore-angel
```

Ask one short question:

> Which 3:4 portrait should I turn into a dreamcore fallen angel, and should I use Nano Banana 2 (default), Lite (economy), or Pro (premium)?

Then initialize the free run. Omit `--model` for Nano Banana 2, or add `--model=nano-banana-2-lite` for economy or `--model=nano-banana-pro` for premium:

```bash
npm run format:skai-image -- init --format=dreamcore-angel --run=<id> --input=<absolute-image-path> [--model=<route>]
npm run format:skai-image -- validate --format=dreamcore-angel --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- estimate --format=dreamcore-angel --run=<id>
```

Stop after `estimate` and ask the user to approve the paid prediction. Only after explicit approval should you supply `--approve-paid`:

```bash
npm run format:skai-image -- render --format=dreamcore-angel --run=<id> --approve-paid
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=dreamcore-angel --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=dreamcore-angel --run=<id> --visual-pass --review-notes="<specific observations>"
npm run format:skai-image -- finalize --format=dreamcore-angel --run=<id> --approve-final
```

Hard rules:

- Preserve the same recognizable face while following the gathered lowered-gaze side-profile composition.
- Make gigantic glowing feathered wings dominate a pure black void.
- Use monochrome silver-gray color, blown whites, crushed blacks, aggressive bloom, and soft diffusion.
- Keep the dirty CCD/VHS texture, grain, compression, tape damage, and imperfect underground-art finish.
- Do not clean the image into modern beauty photography, glossy CGI, crisp ultra-HD, or vibrant color.
- Use a user-approved 3:4 input before validation.
- Keep the exact gathered prompt unless the user explicitly requests a change.
- Use Nano Banana 2 by default, Lite for economy, or Pro for premium.
- Validate and estimate before spending, pause for explicit user approval, and never render without `--approve-paid`.
- Persist and resume the prediction id.
- Never exceed three attempts.
- View the output and record specific visual-review notes before finalizing.
- Return the finished image and `quality-report.json` to the user after finalization.
- Never print, store, or commit `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`.
