Quick Reference

1. Generate CIP Brief (RECOMMENDED START)

python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/search.py "tech startup" --cip-brief -b "BrandName"

Returns: Industry analysis, style recommendations, key deliverables.

2. Search Specific Domains

# Search deliverables
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/search.py "business card letterhead" --domain deliverable

# Search design styles
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/search.py "luxury premium elegant" --domain style

# Search industry guidelines
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/search.py "hospitality hotel" --domain industry

# Search mockup contexts
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/search.py "office reception" --domain mockup

3. Generate CIP Mockups with Gemini Nano Banana

RECOMMENDED: Use --logo for accurate brand mockups

# Generate with brand logo (RECOMMENDED - uses image editing)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo /path/to/logo.png --deliverable "business card" --industry "consulting"

# Generate full CIP set with logo
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo /path/to/logo.png --industry "consulting" --set

# Use Pro model for higher quality / 4K text rendering
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo logo.png --deliverable "business card" --model pro

# Custom deliverables with aspect ratio
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/generate.py --brand "GreenLeaf" --logo logo.png --industry "organic food" --deliverables "letterhead,packaging,vehicle" --ratio 16:9

# Without logo (AI generates its own interpretation)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/generate.py --brand "TechFlow" --deliverable "business card" --no-logo-prompt

Models:

• flash (default): gemini-2.5-flash-image - Fast, cost-effective
• pro: gemini-3-pro-image-preview - Quality, 4K text rendering

Image Editing Mode: When --logo is provided, uses Gemini's text-and-image-to-image capability to incorporate your ACTUAL logo into mockups. Without --logo, AI generates its own brand interpretation.

Workflow Example

User: "Create a complete CIP for a luxury hotel called Grand Vista"

1. Generate CIP brief:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/search.py "luxury hospitality hotel" --cip-brief -b "Grand Vista"

2. Generate key deliverables with logo (RECOMMENDED):

python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/generate.py --brand "Grand Vista" --logo /path/to/grandvista-logo.png --industry "hospitality" --style "luxury premium" --set

3. Or without logo (AI generates interpretation):

python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/generate.py --brand "Grand Vista" --industry "hospitality" --style "luxury premium" --set --no-logo-prompt

Note: If no logo exists, consider using the logo-design skill first to generate one.

4. Render HTML Presentation (Final Step)

# Generate HTML presentation from CIP images
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/render-html.py --brand "TopGroup" --industry "consulting" --images /path/to/cip-output

# Specify custom output path
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cip-design/scripts/render-html.py --brand "TopGroup" --industry "consulting" --images ./topgroup-cip --output presentation.html
