[noahgordon100]

Summary

This PR adds comprehensive prompt library documentation and templates for generating static product advertisements using the Arcads image generation API. It includes detailed workflows, category-specific templates, and quality assurance guidance for creating polished ad images without AI influencers or UGC-style content.

Key Changes

• static-ad.md — Complete workflow for generating static ad images (product heroes, lifestyle shots, flat lays, ingredient close-ups, banners, etc.)

  • 8 ad category templates with specific prompt strategies
  • Step-by-step flow from input gathering through QA and delivery
  • Category-specific prompt templates with real-world examples
  • Brand guideline integration guidance
  • Iteration patterns for common feedback ("more premium," "more minimal," etc.)
  • Post-production checklist for adding text and logos

• ad-remix.md — Workflow for recreating existing ads with new branding

  • Reference ad analysis framework
  • Swap plan definition (what changes, what stays)
  • Batch remix workflow for multiple reference ads
  • Side-by-side comparison and QA process
  • Detailed example showing competitor ad remix with brand color swap

• image-quality-playbook.md — Quality optimization guide

  • Comparison of 7 available image models (Nano Banana 2/Pro, GPT Image, SeedReam variants, Soul, Grok)
  • Model comparison workflow for finding the best engine per use case
  • Workarounds for common AI image shortfalls (garbled text, distorted logos, color mismatches, complex compositions)
  • Post-production checklist (color correction, text overlay, logo placement, export)
  • Quick start guide for first-time users

• BRIEF_TEMPLATE.md — Structured creative brief template

  • 7-section form for capturing ad requirements (what/product/brand/vision/copy/constraints/success criteria)
  • Guidance on optional fields and sensible defaults
  • Integration points with references folders (products, aesthetics, briefs)

• SKILL.md — Updated skill documentation

  • Added references to new prompt library files in the routing table
  • Links to static-ad.md, ad-remix.md, and image-quality-playbook.md workflows

Implementation Details

• All templates follow the existing Arcads prompt library structure and conventions
• Prompts use the POST /V2/images/generate endpoint with Nano Banana models as default
• Templates include concrete examples (skincare serum, energy drink, supplement stack, SaaS dashboard)
• Workflows integrate with existing reference folder structure (references/products/, references/aesthetics/, references/influencers/)
• QA guidance aligns with nano-banana.md quality standards
• Credit cost calculations provided for transparency
• Cross-references to other workflows (video ads, b-roll, character sheets) for campaign integration
