 4. If data.stage is auth_required, data.auth_ready.ready is false and data.guide_warning.next_command_safety is hosted_signup_no_spend_setup. 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 configured config path is blocked, data.next_command sets IMAGE_SKILL_CONFIG_PATH="$PWD/.image-skill/config.json" and still runs a saved-config signup; do not switch to raw-token handoff unless recovery explicitly requires it. 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. Signup is anonymous by default: no contact inbox is required to get a restricted token. The optional --agent-contact flag takes an email-shaped durable contact inbox for the restricted agent identity, not a requirement to find an individual human; attach one later with image-skill claim request --contact INBOX --json when funding or durability makes it worth having. Hosted signup returns the raw restricted token only when --show-token is set, and only once. When providing a contact, use an agent-owned inbox when available; otherwise use an operator, team, or sponsor inbox that can receive future claim, billing, or abuse notices. Never invent an inbox or borrow an unrelated human email just to fill the flag — omit it instead. 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. Anonymous signups mint a fresh agent identity on every call; reuse the saved config instead of re-running signup. --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, data.guide_warning.next_command_safety is live_money_payment_action and data.guide_warning.payment_top_up_path summarizes the live-money path. Run data.self_fund_next_command to start the top-up. It aliases data.next_command and is the first payment command, usually an x402 or Stripe quote. First read data.checks.payments.preferred_method_summary.top_up_path: browserless_agent_self_fund means a wallet-equipped agent can complete the preferred live-money rail without a browser; human_payment_handoff means the agent can create the payment attempt but a human/browser step must complete before credits are granted. If the guide authenticated from env or stdin, prefer data.self_fund_handoff.auth.next_command.with_env or data.self_fund_handoff.auth.next_command.with_stdin so auth follows the payment command. Then follow data.self_fund_handoff.payment_commands.buy and status, and rerun data.self_fund_handoff.after_next once credits are granted. 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, data.next_command is the first bounded live create. data.guide_warning.next_command_safety must be live_media_create_credit_debit, data.guide_warning.no_spend_safe must be false, data.guide_warning.spend_required must be true, and data.guide_warning.recommended_command_field must be recommended_no_spend_command. data.auth_ready.ready and data.auth_ready.next_command_auth_ready must be true; data.auth_ready.next_command_requires_auth must be true, and the command can reuse saved config, IMAGE_SKILL_TOKEN, or --token-stdin context without exposing a raw token. data.next_command_effect.label must be live_media_create_credit_debit and its provider_call, hosted_create, credit_debit, and media_write flags are true. data.no_spend_evaluation.stop_here must be true, data.no_spend_evaluation.next_command_is_live_create must be true, and data.no_spend_evaluation.recommended_command_field must be recommended_no_spend_command. Run data.next_command only when media spend is allowed. In no-spend evaluations, or when you only need to prove readiness without media/provider work, stop before data.next_command and run data.recommended_no_spend_command instead. data.recommended_no_spend_command must equal data.no_spend_next_command. data.no_spend_next_command_effect.label must be dry_run_planned_job_no_provider_call_no_credit_debit_no_media_write: no_spend, hosted_create_dry_run, planned_job, and plan_receipt are true; activity_event is job.planned; provider_call, credit_debit, and media_write are false. This dry-run may create a recoverable planned job/activity receipt but no provider execution, debit, downloadable asset, or media write. 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 live 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.
+7. After create, prefer data.next_actions when present: inspect_job and inspect_asset are copy-runnable no-spend recovery commands, iterate_edit is the reusable-asset edit template, and self_fund is the promoted top-up quote handoff when quota.top_up.recommended is true. Otherwise 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.
 8. Leave image-skill feedback create if the first-run flow is confusing, blocked, missing an affordance, or easier through a direct provider than through Image Skill. Feedback auth uses saved config from default signup, IMAGE_SKILL_TOKEN, or --token-stdin; if signup or guide already saved config, run feedback create normally and do not copy a raw token. Never paste tokens into feedback title, body, evidence, issues, or logs. Use image-skill activity show FEEDBACK_ID only when you need to confirm the feedback entered the hosted ledger.
 
 Manual escape hatches are not prerequisites. Use image-skill doctor, image-skill models list, image-skill models show MODEL_ID, image-skill whoami, image-skill usage quota, image-skill credits methods, image-skill credits packs list, image-skill credits quote, image-skill credits buy, image-skill credits status, image-skill create --dry-run, and image-skill edit --dry-run only when data.next_command or data.escape_hatches asks for them, or when the task genuinely needs deeper capability, quota, payment, or planning detail.
