Free paths at a glance

You don't need a paid API key. Ranked best-first:

| Route | Gets you | Signup | | ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | | inline_svg via AI assistant | Logos, favicons, icon packs — instant | None | | Cloudflare Workers AI | Flux-1-Schnell + SDXL, 10k neurons/day | Free token + account ID | | NVIDIA NIM | Flux.1-dev, Flux.2-klein, SDXL, SANA | Free token, no card | | HF Inference | SDXL, SD3, Flux dev/schnell | Free read token | | Stable Horde | SDXL, Flux on community GPUs | Anonymous queue | | Pollinations (HTTP GET) | Last-resort raster, RGB | None | | Google AI Studio (paste-only UI) | Nano Banana / Nano Banana Pro | Google account |

Details + quotas: Free paths beyond Pollinations. Run p2a doctor or ask your assistant for asset_doctor() to see what's live right now.

[!TIP] Stuck? Click Install in Cursor or Install in VS Code above, restart the editor, and say: _"make a favicon for my app, dark-mode aware."_

Highlights

• Free CLI-first generation — p2a doctor, p2a pick, and the MCP tools rank free API routes before paid models, so developers can generate inside the CLI without enabling billing.
• Three execution modes — inline_svg (host LLM authors SVG), external_prompt_only (paste into any web UI), api (server calls a free or paid provider). Pick what fits. All three can finish on $0.
• 60+ models, free-first routing — Cloudflare Workers AI, NVIDIA NIM, HF, Horde, Pollinations, free trials, plus optional paid OpenAI / Ideogram / Recraft / BFL / Gemini. Each rule cites a research source.
• Refuses to do the wrong thing — the Never column. No wordmarks past 3 words through a diffusion sampler. No transparent PNG through Imagen. No negative_prompt on Flux.
• Offline platform fan-out — one 1024² master → iOS AppIconSet, Android adaptive + monochrome, PWA 192/512/512-maskable, favicon bundle, visionOS parallax, Flutter launcher. Zero network.
• Validates before shipping — tier-0 checks on every output: dims, alpha presence, checkerboard FFT, safe-zone bbox, ΔE2000 palette drift, WCAG contrast, OCR Levenshtein on wordmarks.
• Sprite sheets + 9-slice — pack PNG frames into TexturePacker-compatible atlases (Phaser, PixiJS, Godot, Unity); emit 9-slice numbers + CSS border-image + Android .9.png.

Usage

You just talk to your assistant. Example from a new chat:

Make me a transparent logo for a developer-tools company called Forge. Flat vector, two-tone warm orange on neutral.

Behind the scenes:

1. asset_doctor() — check what modes and providers are live.
2. asset_init_brand({ app_name: "Forge", palette: ["#EA580C", "#F5F5F4"] }) if no brand.json exists.
3. asset_enhance_prompt({ brief }) returns an AssetSpec: classification, rewritten prompt, modes_available[], optional svg_brief, optional paste_targets, and a routing_trace pointing at the research file that backed the decision (plus never_models — why Imagen or DALL·E got rejected).
4. Assistant offers you inline_svg / external_prompt_only / api.
5. If inline_svg: it writes <svg> inline and calls asset_save_inline_svg → writes master.svg, favicon.ico, apple-touch, AppIconSet, PWA bundle to disk.
6. If external_prompt_only: assistant shows the refined prompt and the best paste target (free first). You generate, save, then say _"ingest this file"_ → asset_ingest_external.
7. If api: assistant calls the routed provider. Server mattes, vectorizes, exports, validates.
8. Follow-up: _"also fan this out for iOS and Android"_ → asset_export_bundle with the saved master.

Zero CLI typing. The CLI is still first-class for CI, shell scripts, and non-MCP environments — both surfaces hit the same core.

Why this exists

Two facts shape everything here.

Producing production-grade software assets is a routing and post-processing problem, not a prompt-engineering problem.

Imagen 3/4 and Gemini Flash Image can't produce real RGBA PNGs — their VAE is RGB-only, so asking for a transparent background renders the grey-and-white checkerboard _as pixels_. SDXL can't spell past ~8 characters. Only Recraft emits native SVG. Flux errors on negative_prompt. None of that is visible in the model UI. All of it silently breaks one-shot "prompt → asset" tools.

You may not have an image-model API key. The plugin works anyway.

Every one of the three modes can finish on $0.

The three modes

flowchart LR
    A["one-line brief"] --> B["asset_enhance_prompt"]
    B --> C{"mode"}
    C -->|inline_svg| D["Host LLM emits SVG inline<br/>→ asset_save_inline_svg"]
    C -->|external_prompt_only| E["Paste into web UI<br/>→ asset_ingest_external"]
    C -->|api| F["Server calls routed provider"]
    D --> G["matte · vectorize · validate"]
    E --> G
    F --> G
    G --> H["AssetBundle<br/>ios · android · pwa · favicon · visionos · flutter"]

| Mode | Key? | What happens | Best for | | -------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | inline_svg | No | Server returns an SVG-authoring brief (viewBox, palette, path budget ≤ 40). Host LLM emits <svg>…</svg> inline, then asset_save_inline_svg writes master + favicon.ico + apple-touch + AppIconSet + PWA bundle. Instant. Deterministic. | Logos, favicons, icon packs, stickers, simple app-icon masters | | external_prompt_only | No | Server returns the dialect-correct prompt plus a ranked list of paste targets, free paths first: Pollinations, HF Inference, Stable Horde, Google AI Studio, Ideogram, Recraft, Midjourney, fal.ai, BFL, ChatGPT, Firefly, Krea. Generate elsewhere, save locally, call asset_ingest_external. | Anything — best for illustrations, heroes, text-heavy logos | | api | Optional | Server calls the provider directly. Works zero-key via Pollinations / Horde / HF, or with paid keys. Route → generate → matte → vectorize → export → validate → content-addressed bundle. | Automation, CI, no rate-limit tolerance |

The host LLM picks the mode, or you do. The server surfaces modes_available so the assistant offers them to you. Free paths first — always.

---

The router

Router decisions live in data/routing-table.json. Capability matrix in data/model-registry.json. Every rule cites its research source.

| Need | Primary | Fallback | Never | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Transparent PNG mark | gpt-image-1.5 with background:"transparent" | Ideogram 3 Turbo (/generate-transparent) → Recraft V4 | Imagen, Gemini Flash Image, SD 1.5 | | Logo with 1–3 word text | Ideogram 3 Turbo → gpt-image-1.5 → Recraft V4 | Composite SVG type over mark | Imagen, SD 1.5, flux-schnell | | Logo with >3 word text | Never a diffusion sampler. Mark + SVG typography composite. | — | — | | Native SVG | Recraft V4 (V3 for brand-style pipelines) | inline_svg (host LLM authors SVG) | Everyone else | | Photoreal hero | Free CLI route first: Cloudflare / NVIDIA NIM / HF | Flux Pro / gpt-image-1.5 / Gemini with paid keys | DALL·E 3, Imagen 4 for new work | | Iterate an existing mark | flux-kontext-pro (edit-only) | Pollinations Kontext (free) | — | | Zero-cost everything | inline_svg → Cloudflare / NVIDIA NIM / HF / Horde | Pollinations → paste-only | — |

The Never column matters. It's why prompt-to-asset refuses to render wordmarks past 3 words in any diffusion sampler, and why asking for a transparent PNG never goes to Imagen.

    ├─ mode: inline_svg                → host LLM emits <svg>; asset_save_inline_svg writes bundle

Content-addressed storage: assets/<hash[0:2]>/<hash>/<variant>.<ext>. The MCP server is synchronous and stateless. prompt_hash and params_hash in every AssetBundle are designed to drop straight into a BullMQ / SQS / Cloudflare Queues jobId for a hosted pipeline. Reference design: docs/research/18-asset-pipeline-tools/18e-production-pipeline-architecture.md.

Design thesis

You own the API keys. The LLM owns everything else.

The only thing that happens in a terminal is installing the package and putting keys in .env. Secrets shouldn't pass through chat. Every other verb — doctor checks, model inspection, platform fan-out, brand scaffolding, sprite sheets, 9-slice configs — is an MCP tool the assistant calls when you ask in natural language.

Security

This tool handles API keys for up to 15 providers. Non-negotiables:

• Keys live in env vars only. Never written to disk, never logged, never echoed in MCP responses. Provider error bodies go through redact() (packages/mcp-server/src/security/redact.ts) before reaching the host LLM.
• Path access is allow-listed. image_path / output_dir / existing_mark_svg resolve through symlinks and reject anything escaping project cwd + configured output dir + cache dir + OS tempdir. Widen with P2A_ALLOWED_PATHS=/path1:/path2.
• SVG is XSS-sanitized before any write. <script>, <foreignObject>, on*= handlers, javascript: URIs, external <image href> / <use href>, CSS @import over the network — all rejected. The check runs unconditionally; SVGO is not required.
• Cost guardrail. Set P2A_MAX_SPEND_USD_PER_RUN=5.00 to cap any single tool call. Pre-flight estimate refuses to call if over. Free-tier routes are always $0.
• Data integrity at boot. assertDataIntegrityAtBoot() runs on start. If a routing rule points at a model id not in the registry, the server refuses to boot with a clear error. Check in CI with p2a doctor --data.
• No telemetry. No remote calls unless the routed provider explicitly requires one.

Full policy: SECURITY.md.

Research-backed decisions

Every routing rule, dialect switch, safe-zone size, and text ceiling that's implemented is backed by a file under docs/research/. asset_enhance_prompt returns a routing_trace.research_sources array on every call. The angle → code pointer map, plus an honest ledger of what's wired and what's deferred, lives in docs/RESEARCH_MAP.md.

Development

git clone https://github.com/MohamedAbdallah-14/prompt-to-asset.git
cd prompt-to-asset
npm install
npm run build
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm test               # vitest watch
npm run test:run       # vitest run (CI)
npm run smoke          # list tools via MCP stdio + correctness assertions
npm run sync           # regenerate IDE mirrors from SSOTs
npm run verify         # byte-verify mirrors match SSOTs

SSOTs live in skills//SKILL.md, rules/.md, .claude-plugin/, and data/*.json. Don't edit .cursor/, .claude/, .windsurf/ directly — they're regenerated by scripts/sync-mirrors.sh and CI byte-verifies them.

The thinking behind the design, in long-form:

• Why I stopped picking image models and built a router instead — the case for routing across 30+ image models.
• MCP server architecture: what's inside prompt-to-asset — architecture deep-dive.
