# Pictures — rules for AI agents (Pre-Uni New College Image Creator)

All pictures for Pre-Uni New College work are made with the **Image Creator** (OpenAI, through our own server).
Never call OpenAI or any other image service directly, and never put API keys in code.

## How to make a picture

Use the MCP tool `make_image` (server `preuni_image`).

- `prompt`: what to draw, in plain English — subject, layout, colours, and any text that must appear (spelled exactly).
- `style`: a saved style name (see `list_styles`) when the picture must match others.
- `refs`: gallery ids (`img_…`) or https addresses on newcollege.com.au / cyberschool.com.au / asat.com.au to follow.
- `background: "transparent"` for icons and stickers; `format: "webp"` for small web files.
- Leave `size` and `quality` out unless a person asked; the studio defaults apply.

The answer gives each picture's id and a download link (valid 7 days). Save with the curl command it gives.

## Cost rules

- Every new picture costs money. The same request again is free.
- Get the prompt right, make **one** version, look at it, then change. Do not make many versions to choose from unless asked.
- **Never use `force`** unless a person asked for a new version of the same request.
- Budget or monthly limit reached (402): stop and tell the person.

## Content rules

- Always write "Pre-Uni New College" in full. Do not draw other companies' logos, characters or real people.
- Text inside pictures must be checked letter by letter before it is used.
