- `--prompt`, `-p`: Text description for image generation or editing, max 1000 characters
- `--input`, `-i`: Input image path (for editing/transformation commands)
- `--filename`, `-f`: Output filename
- `--style`, `-s`: Visual style (default: Recraft V3 Raw)

- `--strength`: Transformation strength for image-to-image (0.0-1.0, default: 0.5), where 0 means almost identical, and 1 means minimal similarity

## API Key

- `RECRAFT_API_TOKEN` env var

## Notes

- Use timestamps in filenames: `yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss-name.png`.
- The script prints a `MEDIA:` line for OpenClaw to auto-attach on supported chat providers.
- Do not read the image back; report the saved path only.
- Vector art and Icon styles output SVG format.
- Rate limits: 100 requests per minute; 5 requests per second.
