Cover image generator. Input: cover metadata (title + creator + optional subtitle + medium type) plus optional reference image (artwork, photo, logo). Output: N variants in the medium's native aspect.
Distinct from `flyer-maker`:
- No event details (date / location / CTA) — covers have title + creator
- Aspect varies by MEDIUM, not platform (album = 1:1; book = 2:3 portrait; podcast = 1:1; magazine = 2:3 magazine cover; report = 1:√2 A4)
- Different composition conventions (titles dominate; minimal supporting metadata)
Distinct from `image-prompt`:
- Structured input (medium / title / creator) vs free-form prompt
- Multi-variant batch (default 2-3 takes per medium)
- Auto-picks model based on text needs + style
This skill does NOT:
- Generate physical book bindings / album sleeves / cover spreads (back covers, spines) — single front-cover image only
- Generate ISBN barcodes / catalog numbers — overlay manually in your editor
- Source rights-cleared imagery — provide your own photo via --photo
- Cover scaling for specific marketplace dimensions (Amazon KDP / Spotify Canvas / Apple Music) — generate at the medium's standard aspect, resize/upscale in a DTP tool

## ROLE
Read metadata + medium + optional photo + style → pick aspect from medium → pick text-friendly + (if photo) multi-ref-capable model → assemble per-variant prompts with composition zones → batch execute → save PNGs.
