cli-hub-matrix-image-design

Image & Graphic Design Matrix (S5 — v2 capability-based)

Scenario S5. Deepest creation coverage after S2 — raster (GIMP + Krita), vector (Inkscape), AI (ComfyUI + Jimeng + 7 APIs), diagram (drawio + mermaid). Figma is the headline gap (also affects S7).

Schema: docs/cli-matrix/matrix_registry.schema.md. Matrix plan: docs/cli-matrix/cli-matrix-plan.md.

Install

cli-hub matrix install image-design
cli-hub matrix info    image-design
cli-hub matrix preflight image-design --json

Provider selection constraints

1. Use preflight as an availability report, not as a provider selector.
2. Treat provider order as documentation order only.
3. Choose from user requirements, output quality bar, offline needs, credential state, install cost, and provider notes.
4. Escalate to paid or metered APIs only when credentials are already present or the user explicitly consents. AI image is paid-API-diverse, so ask which provider the user wants when several credentialed choices are available.

Offline context? GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, and local diffusers cover almost everything offline.
