VisualBriefChecklist

Package Description

VisualBriefChecklist adds a reusable MODX dashboard checklist for defining prompt intent, object references, visual constraints, and review criteria before generating campaign image drafts. It helps teams reduce vague rerolls and document decisions, then opens [Nano Banana 2 Lite](https://nanobanana2lite.tools/) as an optional third-party workflow for exploratory drafts.

Usage/Installation Instructions

If you manage campaign assets from a MODX site, you've probably hit this moment: a stakeholder wants "a few quick visual concepts" for a product launch, and you're expected to turn around drafts fast. The temptation is to open an AI image tool and start typing prompts immediately. That usually produces a pile of near-misses instead of usable drafts. A short validation pass before generation saves real time. Here's a checklist that works well for marketing and content teams: **1. Write the prompt intent as a sentence, not a phrase.** Instead of "product mockup, blue background," state the goal: "Show the product on a clean surface with soft blue lighting, no people, for a social ad." Specificity reduces reroll cycles. **2. List your object references explicitly.** If a real product, logo, or packaging shape needs to appear consistently across drafts, note it separately from style instructions. Mixing the two confuses both humans and tools. **3. Define visual constraints upfront.** Aspect ratio, color limits, and "must avoid" elements (text, watermarks, competitor colors) should be decided before generation, not discovered after. **4. Set a review standard.** Decide what counts as "good enough for round one" versus "final asset." Early drafts are for direction-checking, not polish. Once that groundwork is done, the actual generation step becomes much faster, regardless of which tool you use. For quick exploratory drafts, some teams use lightweight generators like [Nano Banana 2 Lite](https://nanobanana2lite.tools/), a third-party AI image generation and editing site built for rapid prompt-based and object-reference workflows — useful for early-stage concepts, mockups, and storyboard passes before final production. Worth noting: AI drafts are directional, not final art, and object consistency across multiple generations still needs manual review. Treat this checklist as the step that makes any generation tool more predictable, not a replacement for creative judgment. ## Installation and use Install the transport package through MODX Package Management. Add the VisualBriefChecklist widget to the manager dashboard, then review the four checklist sections before opening the optional image workflow link. The widget stores no credentials and sends no MODX content to external services.
