 Record the ids in `DESIGN.md` next to what each item does. They are the one
 thing the game's code cannot regenerate for itself.
 
+## Item art
+
+**Every item ships with a picture.** `--icon` is optional to the command and not
+optional to the product: a SKU with no icon renders as a coloured plate with a
+generic box on it, in your shop and on the platform's resale market, where it
+sits next to other games' items that do have art.
+
+**It has to be the item.** Not "a fantasy key" — *this* key, the one the player
+just picked up, in this game's light and this game's palette. An icon that shows
+a different object than the world does is worse than the plate, because the
+plate at least does not claim anything.
+
+So if the item exists as an asset — a generated model, a sprite, a texture —
+generate the art FROM it. Point the camera at the model in the game, or use the
+asset image, and feed that frame in as the reference:
+
+```bash
+# 1. capture the real item -> ./iron-key-ref.png  (crop it SQUARE, see below)
+npx genex image "shop item art of the exact object in the reference image: an ornate iron key, centred, lit from above with a soft rim light, on a clean dark backdrop, no text, no watermark, no interface" \
+  --edit ./iron-key-ref.png --quality high
+#    -> https://assets.genex.technology/generations/<id>/image-main
+
+# 2. attach it
+npx genex shop add "Iron Key" --price 100 --type durable --icon <that url>
+npx genex shop set sku_a1b2c3 --icon <that url>     # or fix one later
+```
+
+`--edit` takes a **local file** (≤ 4 MB) as well as an asset URL, so a screenshot
+goes straight in. Two things about that lane:
+
+- **It keeps the reference's shape**, so `--aspect` does nothing here — crop the
+  reference square before you pass it, or you will get a wide icon in a square
+  cell.
+- It is a different model from the plain text lane, and a better one for this
+  job, because the reference is what makes the picture the item and not a
+  picture of the idea.
+
+No asset yet? Same prompt without `--edit`, anchored on the item's name and on
+**the game's own vibe words** — take them from `DESIGN.md` rather than inventing
+a style, and generate the whole shop in one sitting with the same style clause
+so the shelf reads as one set.
+
+Prompt shape, and every clause earns its place: one object, centred, on a clean
+simple backdrop, lit the way the game lights things, closing with *no text, no
+watermark, no interface*. Say what you want, never what you don't — an image
+model reads "no swords" as "swords", so a ban only works when the thing is
+absent from the prompt entirely.
