Task Visual Iteration Produces • A saved target image representing the intended game or app view. • Implementation work evaluated against that visual target. • Task-local iteration context under the documented working folder. Before You Start Needs a target image, or image-generation access if none is supplied. Detailed tool requirements depend on the selected referenced workflow and were not established from the entry alone.

01 What It Does

Build Toward a Concrete Visual Target

A screenshot-targeted implementation process with separate workflow modes, baseline preservation, and explicit resource-budget considerations.

Source-based workflowNot an execution benchmark

The Working Approach

Dream Loop is a visual-iteration process for games and apps, with particular emphasis on high-fidelity graphical scenes. Its central artifact is a target image: supplied by the user or generated as a plausible screenshot of the intended result. For an existing product, the source asks for a current screenshot as the baseline before generating a refinement.

The entry file routes execution to separate Plus and Pro reference workflows and explicitly says they are not interchangeable. The reviewed entry describes the shared target-image and time-budget rules, but does not itself establish the detailed iteration mechanics. This page therefore does not promise a particular implementation stack, benchmark, or automatic pixel-perfect result.

Expected Deliverables

A saved target image representing the intended game or app view.
Implementation work evaluated against that visual target.
Task-local iteration context under the documented working folder.

From Brief to Review

01
Choose the Documented Mode
Follow the requested Plus or Pro workflow. If none is specified, the source selects a route by coding-subscription tier; read only that route's guide.
02
Lock the Target
Use a supplied image or generate a realistic target screenshot. If refining a product, first capture its current appearance.
03
Iterate Within the Scope
Build toward the target while checking any stated time budget. Report meaningful progress without disguising unfinished fidelity as completion.

02 When to Use It

When to Use It

Needs a target image, or image-generation access if none is supplied. Detailed tool requirements depend on the selected referenced workflow and were not established from the entry alone.

A Good Fit

Graphical PrototypesUseful when a concrete visual target communicates the intended result better than adjectives alone.
Existing-Product RefinementAnchors the target to a current screenshot so a visual improvement does not become an unrelated redesign.

Limits to Check

Target Capability RequiredWithout image generation, the source asks for a supplied target or a connected image-generation service.
Potentially Costly IterationThe source warns that an open-ended loop may consume substantial tokens.
Additional Workflow Guides RequiredThe Plus and Pro instructions live in separate reference files. Read the selected guide to establish its tools and completion criteria before starting.

Bring These Inputs

Game or App BriefDescribe the actual view and what it must do.
Current or Target ImageProvide the baseline for an existing product or a target when available.
Mode and BudgetState the requested workflow and any time or resource constraints.

03 Decisions That Matter

Decisions That Matter

A Screenshot Is a Shared Constraint
A concrete target reduces ambiguity about composition, lighting, or graphical quality.
Not Concept Art
The source asks for a realistic implementation target rather than an evocative image that could not plausibly be the app.
Preserve the Baseline
Refinement starts from what already exists, reducing accidental visual drift.

Start With One Deliverable

Adapt the scope, source material and constraints in this brief before running the skill.

Example Brief

Use dream-loop to improve the graphical fidelity of this existing browser scene. Capture its current view, create a realistic target screenshot that preserves the layout and interaction concept, and confirm the applicable Plus or Pro reference workflow. Keep work local and report remaining visual gaps honestly at the stated time limit.

Inspect the Result

Check the actual output against these observable criteria.

The target is stored and clearly tied to the requested product view.
Existing-product improvements preserve the supplied baseline constraints.
Reported completion reflects actual visual comparison rather than only successful compilation.

06 Questions Before You Start

Questions Before You Start

Must it generate a target image?

No. The source allows a user-supplied target; generation is needed when no target is available.

Is the target supposed to be concept art?

No. The source specifically asks for a realistic target screenshot that implementation can attempt to match.

Does the entry file define one universal loop?

No. It chooses between separate Plus and Pro reference workflows, so those details must be reviewed for the chosen execution environment.
