Standardized image generation in VS Code

Use `create_image` to generate assets directly from your editor. Your whole team uses the same templates defined in your project config. This ensures consistent branding across the entire engineering department. Everyone runs the same tools with the same configuration.

Sync templates across VS Code

Use `list_templates` to pull the latest project designs into your workspace. It keeps your team aligned on available assets. Calling `get_template` gives you the current field map. You avoid errors by checking the required input fields before sending data.

Batch processing with VS Code

Run `create_collection` to mass-produce assets for your marketing site. Your team can initiate these jobs directly through the Copilot chat window. It removes the need for manual file handling. The server handles the generation while your team continues developing features.
