 1. Run image-skill create --guide --prompt PROMPT. This is the canonical fresh-agent entrypoint and the only required first command. It performs read-only hosted reachability, executable model availability, auth/quota, and payment rail checks and returns data.stage, data.next_command, data.auth_handoff, data.escape_hatches, and data.mutation. Guide mode must report provider_call: false, hosted_create: false, hosted_signup: false, payment_object: false, credit_debit: false, and media_write: false.
 2. Follow data.next_command. Do not run doctor, models list, signup, whoami, quota, dry-run, or payment commands as a setup checklist before the guide asks for them.
 3. If data.stage is prompt_required, rerun data.next_command with the real prompt.
-4. If data.stage is auth_required, run data.next_command, store the returned token in the agent runtime secret store, then rerun the guide once with IMAGE_SKILL_TOKEN or --token-stdin. If the runtime does not inject the token automatically, use data.auth_handoff.rerun_guide.with_env or data.auth_handoff.rerun_guide.with_stdin. The signup command uses --agent-contact as an email-shaped durable contact inbox for the restricted agent identity, not as a requirement to find an individual human. Hosted signup returns the raw restricted token only when --show-token is set, and only once; it does not auto-save auth into the public CLI config. Use an agent-owned inbox when available; otherwise use an operator, team, or sponsor inbox that can receive future claim, billing, or abuse notices. Do not block waiting for a person, invent a person, or use a throwaway inbox. example.invalid addresses are only appropriate inside documented harness or proof runs. --human-email remains accepted as a compatibility alias, but the guide must not teach it. --save is local-only (--local) and rejected on the hosted path; the guide must not teach it. Use --no-save only for older hosted instructions, and use --show-token --no-save when the runtime has a separate secret store and needs the raw token once.
+4. If data.stage is auth_required, run data.next_command, then rerun the guide once. Hosted signup saves the restricted token to the public CLI config by default with 0600 permissions. If the runtime intentionally uses --no-save --show-token, store the returned token in the agent runtime secret store, then rerun with IMAGE_SKILL_TOKEN or --token-stdin; data.auth_handoff.rerun_guide.with_env and data.auth_handoff.rerun_guide.with_stdin are copy-safe templates for that mode.

Do not block waiting for a person, invent a person, or use a throwaway inbox. example.invalid addresses are only appropriate inside documented harness or proof runs. --human-email remains accepted as a compatibility alias, but the guide must not teach it. --save is accepted as a compatibility no-op for the default save behavior; use --no-save only when the runtime has a separate secret store and does not want local config.
 5. If data.stage is quota_required, follow the payment commands in data.checks.payments.suggested_commands, then rerun the guide once. One Image Skill credit is $0.01. Credit quotes grant prepaid value units; create/edit operations debit model-priced credits reported as cost.credit_pricing. Starter preview currently gives bounded free-preview credits plus a four-job daily cap.
 6. If data.stage is ready_to_create, run data.next_command for the first bounded create. If the guide authenticated from env or stdin, prefer data.auth_handoff.next_command.with_env or data.auth_handoff.next_command.with_stdin so auth follows the create. In guide cost output, cost.estimated_usd_per_image and cost.estimated_debit_usd_per_image are the Image Skill debit dollars for one output; cost.estimated_provider_usd_per_image is only the upstream provider estimate. Use the guide's returned max_estimated_usd_per_image because it is sized to the credit debit the agent funds. Add --output-count N only after models show confirms the selected create model supports more than one output; credit_pricing.credits_required is the total debit across outputs, while max_estimated_usd_per_image remains a per-image Image Skill debit guard.
 7. After create, use image-skill jobs show JOB_ID to recover status, cost, safety, timestamps, and final assets; image-skill assets get ASSET_URL_OR_ID --output ./result.png to fetch the generated asset without repeating provider work; and image-skill activity list --subject JOB_ID to find ledger events, trace, usage, and asset links to cite.
