+# 🎨 REFERENCE-FIRST GENERATION RULE
+
+## **ZAKON: Če obstaja referenca, jo MORAŠ pogledati PRED generacijo!**
+
+### **Workflow za VSAKO generacijo asseta:**
+
+```
+1. ✅ Preveri: Ali obstaja master_reference.* v /references/?
+   
+2. ✅ ČE DA → OBVEZNO view_file() na referenco PRED generate_image()
+   
+3. ✅ Uporabi vse vizualne detajle iz reference slike:
+   - Barve (točne RGB vrednosti)
+   - Oblačila (textures, accessories)
+   - Frizura (style, barve, dodatki)
+   - Piercings, tattoos, scars
+   - Proporce (chibi 1:1 ali realistične)
+   - Outline thickness
+   
+4. ✅ Generate prompt MORA ustrezati referenci 100%
+   
+5. ❌ ČE NE → Šele potem generiraj prosto (brez reference)

+
+## **TOTAL: 24 Master References**
+
+**Vsaka od teh 24 slik MORA biti pogledana z `view_file()` PREDEN generiram katerokoli variacijo (8-direction sprites, portraits, animations)!**
+
+---
+
+## **Primer Correct Workflow:**
+
+```
+USER: Generiraj Kai 8-direction sprites
+
+AGENT: 
+1. ✅ view_file(/references/main_characters/kai/master_reference.png)
+2. ✅ Študiram: pink+green dreads, nose ring, gauges, leather jacket
+3. ✅ generate_image() z TOČNIMI detalji iz reference
+```
+
+---
+
+## **Primer WRONG Workflow:**
+
+```
+USER: Generiraj Kai 8-direction sprites
+
+AGENT: 
+❌ generate_image() takoj brez pregleda reference
+❌ NAPAKA: Izgubljeni detalji, nekonzistenten stil!
+```
+
+---
+
+## **Zakaj je to KRITIČNO:**
+
+- **Vizualna konsistenca** = 100% ujemanje med vsemi asseti
+- **Style 32 Dark-Chibi Noir** = moraš videti reference za outline thickness, proporce
+- **Unique details** = piercings, tattoos, color combos so SPECIFIČNI za vsakega lika
+- **Asset pipeline** = references so "source of truth" za VSE bodoče assete
+
+---
+
+**PRAVILO: NO REFERENCE = NO GENERATION (razen če reference dejansko NE obstaja)**
