description: >
Critical knowledge base for AI content creation — READ THIS FIRST before any image/video/music
generation task. Provides expert guidance on workflow design, model selection, parameter optimization,
visual consistency, character design, and production best practices. Essential reading before using
ima-image-ai, ima-video-ai, ima-voice-ai, ima-all-ai, or any other media generation skills
(ai-image-generation, ai-video-gen, suno-music, etc.). Use for: planning workflows, choosing models,
optimizing prompts and parameters, maintaining character/style consistency, multi-shot production,
avoiding common mistakes. Transforms beginner attempts into professional-grade results. This is a
knowledge skill — it provides strategic guidance, not API calls.

# IMA Knowledge AI
> **Purpose**: This skill provides strategic knowledge to help agents make better decisions when using IMA Studio's content creation APIs. It does NOT make API calls directly — instead, it guides you to use `ima-voice-ai`, `ima-image-ai`, `ima-video-ai` more effectively.
When to Use This Skill
**Read this skill BEFORE calling any ima-*-ai skill** if you need guidance on:
1. **Workflow Design** — How to break down complex user requests into atomic tasks
2. **Model Selection** — Which model to choose based on task requirements
3. **Parameter Optimization** — How to set parameters for quality, cost, or speed
**Example scenarios**:

**Usage**: Read index first → Load only relevant scenario file
**Token savings**: 60-85% compared to loading all scenarios
10. [color-theory/](references/color-theory/) 🎨 **COLOR THEORY & CULTURAL SENSITIVITY**
**When to read**: Any design task requiring color selection (logos, posters, brands, products)
**Structure**: Index + 7 modular files (load only what you need)
**Usage**: Read index → Load relevant modules based on task (target region/industry/religion)
**Token savings**: 70-90% compared to loading all 32 KB
11. [design-pitfalls/](references/design-pitfalls/) 🚫 **DESIGN MISTAKES TO AVOID**
**When to read**: Quality assurance for generated content (before final delivery)
**Structure**: Index + 4 scenario files (29 common mistakes by scene)
**Usage**: Read index → Load scenario-specific pitfalls
**Token savings**: 60-80% compared to loading all 21 KB
12. [color-trends-2026/](references/color-trends-2026/) 📅 **2026 COLOR TRENDS**
**When to read**: Design tasks for 2026 market (stay current with trends)

Usage Pattern
User Request
↓
[ima-knowledge-ai] Query relevant knowledge
↓
Make informed decision
↓
[ima-*-ai] Execute API call with optimized parameters
↓
Success!**Example flow**:
User: "帮我生成一张16:9的产品海报，要高质量"
Step 1: Read ima-knowledge-ai → parameter-guide.md
→ Learn: SeeDream 4.5 supports 16:9, Nano Banana Pro native support
Step 2: Read ima-knowledge-ai → model-selection.md
→ Choose: Nano Banana Pro 4K (best quality, 18pts)
Step 3: Call ima-image-ai with:
--model-id gemini-3-pro-image
--extra-params '{"aspect_ratio": "16:9", "size": "4K"}'
Step 4: Success! 🎉---
Important Notes
1. **This skill does NOT replace ima-*-ai skills**
Use it as a consultant before executing tasks
2. **Knowledge is based on production IMA Studio API (2026-02-27)**
Models and parameters may change; always verify with `list-models`
3. **Cost transparency**
All recommendations include credit cost for user decision-making
4. **No scripts in this skill**
Pure knowledge — implementation is handled by other ima-*-ai skills
