# Generate an image

Turn an approved direction into a saved asset with a traceable provider receipt.

State: Image production · Updated September 21, 2026

## Start at the workbench

Describe an idea on the homepage, choose Meme, AI character, or Tech / tool, and add one detail Scrip should get right. Pick a tone and one or two visual styles. This structured brief and the reusable style examples are free to browse; they do not call an image model.

Review the exact prompts and maximum allowance before connecting your workspace. Each custom preview reserves $0.02, with at most two previews ($0.04) per request. A connected, funded image provider and an authorized workspace are required. Saving a direction does not launch a coin or publish a post.

The approved request is saved before submission. Check records only reads or recovers existing work. Continue approved request can submit an option that has not started yet, within the original maximum; it never orders the same image again. A failed or uncertain first submission stops the remaining options.

## Before you generate

Select an active project in the creator studio. Image studio must show Provider configured and a remaining operator-funded allowance. Test credits cannot pay for image production.

The current workflow uses Higgsfield’s Z-Image Turbo for one square 1K image. Prompt enhancement is disabled. Video production and social publishing are not part of this image action.

## Create and collect the asset

1. **Choose a workflow.** Start from Launch artwork, Meme concept, or Lore scene. Edit Image direction to fit the project. The prompt can contain up to 800 characters.

2. **Review the allowance.** Each submission attempt consumes $0.02 of the app’s conservative allowance, including failed or uncertain attempts. Provider billing is separate.

3. **Generate once.** Wait for the provider receipt to be saved. Once a provider request exists, status checks reuse it rather than creating another paid request.

4. **Inspect the result.** Open the saved image and its receipt. Download the asset, or attach it to a content commitment.

> **Closing the tab.** When Image studio reports that recovery is running, Scrip checks accepted requests and saves finished images in the background. The status includes its last check; configuration alone does not count as a working connection. If recovery is offline or needs attention, return and use Check result. A submission without a saved provider receipt still needs review and is never automatically ordered again.

## Production limits

These limits bound app usage. They are not an invoice, a claim about the provider’s exact price, or a subscription plan. Check the provider account for its prepaid balance and actual billed usage.

| Control | Current workspace limit |
| --- | --- |
| Total app allowance | $5 across the workspace, shared by projects |
| Allowance per submission attempt | $0.02 |
| Daily submissions | 25 per UTC day |
| Concurrent work | 2 active or unresolved requests across the workspace |

## Read the job state

| State | Meaning | Next action |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Submitting | The request is being accepted. | Wait; avoid a second submission. |
| Generating | A provider request is saved. | Check the same job for its result. |
| Ready | The image bytes and receipt are saved. | Inspect and download the asset. |
| Needs review | Submission outcome could not be confirmed. | Review the existing provider record. Do not blindly regenerate. |
| Failed | The attempt did not deliver an image. | Inspect the error; the attempt still counts toward the allowance. |
