← Protocol

Creator kit

The protocol for AI image packs people actually use.

Generated Gallery is turning AI image discovery into a portable ritual: curated packs, attached prompts, source trails, safety labels, and manifests that any viewer or crawler can understand.

Pack promise

For artists: keep prompts and references portable instead of trapped in screenshots.

For model makers: publish test sets people can compare across models.

For curators: make galleries that cite sources and survive platform churn.

For agents: crawl a manifest, inspect safety labels, and reuse only the records that fit.

01

Pick a tiny theme

Good packs are narrow enough to remember: haunted product catalog, marble space opera, velvet robot portraits, cafeteria backrooms.

02

Select 5 to 12 images

Keep only images with a clear visual idea, useful prompt clues, and a reason someone would save or remix them.

03

Preserve the trail

Attach prompt, model, source URL, creator when known, safety label, dimensions, and tags. Pretty without provenance is just wallpaper.

04

Publish a manifest

Use the GG manifest shape so the pack can be inspected, mirrored, linked, imported, or crawled by any compatible viewer.

05

Share the ritual

Post the theme, the gallery link, the funniest prompt fragment, and the manifest link. Make the pack useful, not mysterious.

Curation rubric

Immediate read

Can someone understand the image in under one second?

Prompt value

Does the prompt teach a reusable style, object, camera, material, or scene trick?

Remix potential

Would a designer, seller, artist, or model tester save it as a reference?

Source clarity

Can the original context be found later?

Collection tension

Do the images feel related without looking like copies?

Safety label

Is SFW or NSFW status explicit?

The Machine Dream Find

A simple public format: theme, 5 images, prompt fragments, source links, one strange sentence, one manifest. Repeat daily or weekly until the internet starts recognizing the ritual.

Title: Machine Dream Find: [theme]

Gallery: generatedgallery.com/gallery/[id]

Why it matters: one useful sentence

Best prompt fragment: one reusable phrase

Manifest: /index/manifest.json or your pack manifest
