Style Recipes (26)

Recipes are actionable layer stacks that an AI agent can apply to a sketch. Each recipe includes:

• Layer stack — ordered design layers with typeId, blend mode, opacity, and properties
• Suggested palette — curated hex colors for the style
• Recommended renderers — which genart renderers work best
• Agent guidance — natural language instructions for the AI

const recipe = getRecipe("impressionism-landscape");
// → { layers: [...], suggestedPalette: ["#8DACD4", ...], agentGuidance: "..." }

// Find all recipes for a movement
const recipes = getRecipesForStyle("movement", "impressionism");
