Media generation prompts

These specifications are production briefs, not substitutes for inspecting the generated result. The 14 adventure covers and 3 supplied animated montages are now integrated; see the cover inventory and video notes. Additional site-image and video briefs below remain optional, not claims that those exact assets exist.

Keep essential text outside the artwork, preserve provenance and leave room for cropping. Adventure heroes use 1456 × 832 px, landscape, exported as PNG or WebP. Site illustrations use the dimensions stated below.

[!NOTE] The learning guides retain their original accessible SVG illustrations alongside the generated covers. The published video copies are silent, opt-in montages on the homepage and adventure catalog, not recordings of lab execution. See the adventure image inventory. Do not label a prompt, an old screenshot or an unrendered idea as a finished asset.

Shared visual direction

Use an accessible cinematic fantasy-tech style: clear focal subject, readable silhouette, restrained detail behind likely text areas, deep indigo and teal with warm gold accents, broad tonal separation, no logos, no copyrighted characters, no UI text, no tiny glyphs, and no flashing imagery.

1. portals-of-nexus-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “A lone software cartographer in a circular nexus chamber choosing among five distinct portals: local workshop, terminal gate, cloud citadel, branching worktree grove, and embedded automaton forge; each portal visually communicates a different execution harness without labels; cinematic fantasy technology, inclusive neutral figure, strong center silhouette, indigo teal and gold, no text, no logos.”

Alt text: “A cartographer compares portals representing different roles, harnesses, targets, and environments.”

2. context-mirrors-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “Two facing enchanted mirrors show the same engineering workshop: one side chaotic with scattered clues, the other organized by glowing scoped instruction ribbons, reusable skill crystals, and evidence markers; the underlying task remains identical; balanced split composition, accessible contrast, no text, no logos.”

Alt text: “Mirrors contrast an unstructured workspace with one organized by scoped context.”

3. eldoria-laws-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “A welcoming archive city where luminous laws flow from a central repository charter into clearly bounded district paths; scribes apply global and path-specific rules to code scrolls; visual hierarchy emphasizes scope and inheritance, fantasy engineering aesthetic, no readable writing, no logos.”

Alt text: “Repository laws flow from a central charter into path-specific districts.”

4. tempora-loop-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “An engineer traverses a visible four-stage clockwork loop: inspect a crystal, plan on a map, repair a mechanism, test it at a beacon; one failed test redirects the traveler for another iteration; clear clockwise motion without text, calm rather than frantic, no logos.”

Alt text: “An engineer follows an inspect, plan, implement, and test loop.”

5. terminal-gate-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “A monumental terminal-shaped gate opens only when three evidence seals align: command, exit status, and test result; an adventurer carries a clean ledger of reproducible observations; dark stone, emerald terminal glow, warm gold evidence lights, no legible commands, no logos.”

Alt text: “A terminal gate opens when reproducible command and test evidence is present.”

6. algora-skills-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “A guild library of modular skill crystals, each containing focused expertise, with one crystal activating beside a relevant engineering task while unrelated crystals remain dormant; emphasize relevance-based loading and reuse, clean fantasy workshop, no text, no logos.”

Alt text: “Deterministic checkpoints guide an engineering path through visible guardrails.”

9. cartographer-mcp-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “A knowledge cartographer connects a local map table to one external observatory through a clearly bounded protocol bridge; permissions, data flow, and trust boundary appear as distinct rings; show connection rather than magical omniscience, no text, no logos.”

Alt text: “A cartographer connects to an external tool across a visible protocol boundary.”

10. lumoria-graph-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “A small repository dependency graph floats above a city: one changed platform and its affected dependents are distinguished from unrelated platforms; an investigator checks each relationship against source documents; show impact analysis rather than a sequence of agent workflow stages, no readable labels, no logos.”

Alt text: “An investigator checks which dependent platforms may be affected by a change.”

11. mythos-parallel-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “Three isolated arena lanes represent separate worktrees, each team solving an independent part of one engineering challenge; safe bridges open only during review and integration; energetic but orderly, accessible colors and shapes, no text, no logos.”

Alt text: “Three isolated work lanes converge safely for review and integration.”

12. cloud-citadel-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “A remote cloud citadel receives a sealed, self-contained engineering quest package containing repository map, setup ritual, constraints, tests, and expected artifact; a return bridge carries a reviewable change set; no implication of universal access, no text, no logos.”

Alt text: “A bounded task travels to a remote cloud environment and returns reviewable changes.”

13. automaton-foundry-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “An application foundry assembles a small transparent automaton from model core, tools, instructions, state, and evaluation gauges; every component has a visible boundary and manual shutoff; approachable educational mood, no vendor logos, no text.”

Alt text: “A transparent agent application is assembled from bounded components in a foundry.”

14. convergence-of-three-realms-hero.png

1456 × 832, PNG/WebP. “A local development workshop, a remote cloud citadel and an application foundry deliver distinct artifacts to a human maintainer’s review table; preserve identity and authority boundaries between the three execution surfaces, epic but readable composition, no text, no logos.”

Video prompts (5)

Export each as 1920 × 1080, 16:9, 8–12 seconds, seamless or gently ending, MP4 (H.264) plus WebM (VP9 or AV1 where supported), muted, with no dialogue, captions, embedded text, logos, camera shake, rapid cuts, flashes, or strobing. Use the named still as the poster and meaningful content fallback.

1. nexus-harness-loop.mp4 / .webm

“Slow camera drift through the Nexus chamber as five portals glow one at a time, then settle with equal brightness; the cartographer studies them without entering, communicating deliberate harness selection rather than a preferred universal choice.” Poster: portals-of-nexus-hero.png.

2. tempora-evidence-loop.mp4 / .webm

“A calm clockwise sequence activates inspect, plan, implement, and test stations; the test beacon briefly indicates failure, routes energy back to inspect, then completes with a steady verified glow; one continuous shot.” Poster: tempora-loop-hero.png.

3. lumoria-orchestration-loop.mp4 / .webm

“Dependency nodes illuminate in valid order; two independent branches animate concurrently and pause before a validation node merges their evidence; restrained particle motion, no pulsing faster than three times per second.” Poster: lumoria-graph-hero.png.

4. cloud-handoff-loop.mp4 / .webm

“A sealed task capsule travels from a local workshop to a remote cloud citadel; setup, test, and review symbols illuminate in sequence; a compact change artifact returns across the bridge; slow motion, no implied autonomous deployment.” Poster: cloud-citadel-hero.png.

5. three-realms-convergence-loop.mp4 / .webm

“Three streams—investigation, plan, and execution evidence—flow slowly toward a central reviewed artifact; a final review ring closes and the evidence constellation becomes steady; cinematic wide shot with a gentle ending.” Poster: convergence-of-three-realms-hero.png.

Accessibility and reduced motion

• Always provide descriptive alt text for still images.
• Treat video as enhancement: essential instructions must remain in HTML text.
• Include a poster image and a visible pause control when motion is presented.
• Do not autoplay audio; these prompts assume silent assets.
• Under prefers-reduced-motion: reduce, do not load or play the animation automatically; show the poster instead.
• Avoid flashes, strobing, rapid zooms, parallax that tracks scrolling, and motion needed to understand the lesson.
• Check contrast after placing HTML text over an image; add a solid or translucent backing rather than relying on the artwork.
