About creative-explore
Pick a visual direction before generating any creative. Produces 3-6 named, distinct visual directions (e.g. premium minimal, bold maximalist, lifestyle/editorial, retro, techno-brutalist) with rationale + sample prompts, then generates one reference image per direction so the user can choose. Use when the user says "explore visual direction", "what style should this be", "give me directions/looks", or before ads/scene/shot work when no style is locked. Part of the Creative Production set.
