Process

Collections can combine a hero image, a local gallery, captions, and an external archive link. This is useful for studies that produce many variants but only need a curated set on the site.

Future Automation

This structure can support automated thumbnail generation, prompt manifests, hash manifests, and alt-text drafts without changing the public route design.

Prompt notes

  • Create a contact-sheet style research board of speculative materials with six tactile samples.
  • Use neutral studio lighting and no readable labels.
