| What it does | Generate or edit raster images when the task benefits from AI-created bitmap visuals such as photos, illustrations, textures, sprites, mockups, or transparent-background cutouts. Use when the agent should create a brand-new image or derive visual variants from references, and the output should be a bitmap asset rather than repo-native code or vector. Do not use when the task is better handled by editing existing SVG/vector/code-native assets, extending an established icon or logo system, or building the visual directly in HTML/CSS/canvas. | Use when an app uses @pierre/highlights to generate syntax-highlighted HTML or tokens, stream code, incrementally tokenize edits, or apply Zed-compatible themes and CSS variables. |
