# Red Dead Redemption

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

Ask one short question first:

> Which photo should I turn into a Red Dead Redemption-style scene?

Use Nano Banana 2 by default, Nano Banana 2 Lite for economy, or Nano Banana
Pro only when the user requests the source/premium route.

```bash
npm run format:skai-image -- check --format=red-dead-redemption
npm run format:skai-image -- init --format=red-dead-redemption --run=<id> --input=<absolute-image-path>
npm run format:skai-image -- validate --format=red-dead-redemption --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- estimate --format=red-dead-redemption --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- render --format=red-dead-redemption --run=<id> --approve-paid
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=red-dead-redemption --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=red-dead-redemption --run=<id> --visual-pass --review-notes="<specific observations>"
npm run format:skai-image -- finalize --format=red-dead-redemption --run=<id> --approve-final
```

Hard rules:

- Preserve the exact composition, pose, expression, framing, camera angle, and layout.
- Adapt the subject's identity, clothing, props, and setting consistently to 1899.
- Keep the result recognizably video-game imagery rather than live action or illustration.
- Validate before spending.
- Never generate without `--approve-paid`.
- Persist and resume the same prediction ID.
- Never exceed three attempts.
- View the actual output and record notes before `--approve-final`.
- Never print, store, or commit `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`.

Transform this image so it looks like a screenshot from a video game set in the Red Dead Redemption 2 universe. Maintain the exact composition, pose, expression, framing, camera angle, and layout of elements from the original image, but reinterpret everything as if the scene existed in the Old West of 1899. All characters must be given clothing, accessories, and appearances inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2, featuring cowboy hats, distressed leather coats, vests, neckerchiefs, boots, gun belts, holsters, and weathered fabrics—while retaining the original character's identity adapted to the Western style.

Replace any modern, futuristic, urban, or fantastical elements with Old West equivalents, preserving the scene's core concept. Futuristic settings, modern cities, or sci-fi environments must be converted into ranches, saloons, small frontier towns, forests, mountains, campsites, trains, or natural landscapes typical of the American West. Modern weapons must become vintage revolvers, rifles, or shotguns, and any advanced technology must be reinterpreted in a way that is consistent with the era.

The final image must clearly resemble a AAA video game for PS5 or PC, inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2 and rendered in a modern engine like Unreal Engine 5. Use highly detailed 3D models; rich textures of leather, wood, metal, and weathered fabric; cinematic lighting; volumetric sunbeams; soft depth of field; dust particles; subtle fog; detailed vegetation; and the natural atmosphere of the American West. The result should look like an in-game screenshot or a cutscene from Red Dead Redemption 2, maintaining the look of a video game rather than a real photograph, live-action film, concept art, or illustration.
