Cowart Image Gen

Use this skill when the user wants an AI-generated image placed onto the Cowart canvas. A selected AI 图片 holder gives a precise size and placement target, but it is not required. By default, a selected holder is a temporary target and should be replaced by the generated image.

Preconditions

Ensure the cowart_mcp tools required by this workflow are available. Do not call render_cowart_canvas_widget as a routine prerequisite: requests sent from the Cowart widget already have an open canvas, and the existing widget synchronizes inserted images from MCP-backed storage. If the user separately asks to open, reopen, or explicitly refresh the canvas, handle that request once with the canvas-opening workflow.

Cowart state is read and written through Cowart MCP tools, not through a localhost browser service.

New holders are tldraw frame shapes with:

{
  "type": "frame",
  "meta": {
    "cowartAiImageHolder": true
  }
}

Older canvases may still contain legacy geo rectangle holders with the same meta flag. Support both shapes.

Workflow

For a follow-up from Cowart's sidebar canvas, use the exact projectDir and canvasDir in the Cowart context/message for all Cowart tools. These paths can differ from the conversation working directory. In ordinary project conversations, keep using the active user project as before.

1. Read the selected shape from Cowart with the MCP get_cowart_selection tool. Pass the active user project directory as projectDir.

2. Check whether exactly one selected shape is an AI image holder. A holder is any selected shape with either:

   isAiImageHolder: true
   

   or:

   meta.cowartAiImageHolder: true
   

   If yes, use the holder replacement workflow below. If not, do not ask the user to select a holder; use the standalone workflow below and insert the generated image into the current Cowart page.

3. Choose the placement workflow.
