## Project overview
hokusai is a `make`-like build tool for AI-generated artifacts (images and text). A YAML config file defines targets with dependencies; hokusai builds a DAG with networkx and executes generation in parallel topological order using Mistral (text) and BlackForestLabs (images) as providers.
hokusai is a `make`-like build tool for AI-generated artifacts (images and text). A YAML config file defines targets with dependencies; hokusai builds a DAG with networkx and executes generation in parallel topological order using Mistral, OpenAI (text), and BlackForestLabs, OpenAI (images) as providers.
## Commands
```bash
uv sync # install dependencies
uv run hokusai build # build all targets
uv run hokusai build X # build target X and its transitive deps
uv run hokusai clean # remove generated artifacts + state file
uv run hokusai graph # print dependency graph with stages
uv run pytest # run tests
uv sync # install dependencies
uv run hokusai build # build all targets
uv run hokusai build X # build target X and its transitive deps
uv run hokusai regenerate X # force rebuild X even if up to date
uv run hokusai clean # remove generated artifacts + state file (or archive if configured)
uv run hokusai graph # print dependency graph with stages
uv run pytest # run tests
```

### Key design decisions
- **Target type inference**: `.png/.jpg/.jpeg/.webp` = image, `.md/.txt` = text. Defined in `config.py` as `IMAGE_EXTENSIONS` / `TEXT_EXTENSIONS`.
- **Prompt resolution**: if the `prompt` string is a path to an existing file, its contents are read; otherwise it's used as-is. Done in `builder.py:_resolve_prompt()`.
- **BFL client is synchronous**: wrapped in `asyncio.to_thread()` in `providers/image.py`. Uses `ClientConfig(sync=True, timeout=300)` for internal polling.
- **Mistral client is natively async**: uses `complete_async()` directly in `providers/text.py`.
- **Prompt resolution**: if the `prompt` string is a path to an existing file, its contents are read; otherwise it's used as-is. Supports `{filename}` placeholders. Done in `prompt.py`.
- **Model resolution**: `resolve.py` maps target config + defaults to a `ModelInfo` with provider, model name, and capabilities.
- **Download targets**: targets with `download:` URL are fetched via httpx; state tracks the URL for incremental skip.
- **BFL client is async**: custom async client in `providers/bfl.py` polls for completion.
- **Mistral client is natively async**: uses `complete_async()` directly.
- **OpenAI clients are async**: use the official `openai` SDK with async methods.
- **Incremental builds**: `.hokusai.state.yaml` tracks per-target: input file hashes, prompt hash, model name, and extra params hash. Any change marks the target dirty.
- **Archiving**: when `archive_folder` is set, previous outputs are moved to `archive/<name>.01.<ext>` (incrementing) before rebuild or clean.
- **Error isolation**: if a target fails, its dependents are marked "Dependency failed" but independent targets continue building.
- **State saved per-generation**: partial progress survives crashes. At most one generation of work is lost.

### Image provider specifics (BFL)
- `image_prompt` field: base64-encoded reference image (from `target.reference_image`)
- `control_image` field: base64-encoded control image (from `target.control_images`)
- Result image URL is in `result.result["sample"]`, downloaded via httpx
- Supported models: `flux-dev`, `flux-pro`, `flux-pro-1.1`, `flux-pro-1.1-ultra`, `flux-kontext-pro`, `flux-pro-1.0-canny`, `flux-pro-1.0-depth`, `flux-pro-1.0-fill`, `flux-pro-1.0-expand`
- Reference images are base64-encoded and passed as `input_image` (flux-2), `image_prompt` (flux-1.x), etc.
- Control images for canny/depth models use `control_image` field
- Result image URL is polled and downloaded via httpx
- Supported models: `flux-dev`, `flux-pro`, `flux-pro-1.1`, `flux-pro-1.1-ultra`, `flux-2-pro`, `flux-kontext-pro`, `flux-pro-1.0-canny`, `flux-pro-1.0-depth`, `flux-pro-1.0-fill`, `flux-pro-1.0-expand`
### Image provider specifics (OpenAI)
- Uses `images.generate` for text-to-image, `images.edit` for image-to-image
- Reference images passed as raw bytes to the edit endpoint
- Supported models: `gpt-image-1.5`, `gpt-image-1`, `gpt-image-1-mini`, `dall-e-3`, `dall-e-2`
### Text provider specifics (Mistral)
- Text input files are appended to the prompt with `--- Contents of <name> ---` headers
- Image inputs are noted as `[Attached image: <name>]` (no actual vision/multimodal yet)
- Image inputs are encoded as data URLs for multimodal models (pixtral)
- Raw LLM response is written directly to the output file, no post-processing
- Supported models: `mistral-large-latest`, `mistral-small-latest`, `pixtral-large-latest`, `pixtral-12b-latest`
### Text provider specifics (OpenAI)
- Similar to Mistral: text inputs appended, images encoded as data URLs
- Supported models: `gpt-5`, `gpt-5-mini`, `gpt-5-nano`, `gpt-4o`, `gpt-4o-mini`, `gpt-4.1`, `gpt-4.1-mini`, `gpt-4.1-nano`, `o3`, `o3-mini`, `o3-pro`, `o4-mini`
## Environment variables

- `MISTRAL_API_KEY` - required for Mistral text models
- `BFL_API_KEY` - required for BlackForestLabs FLUX image models

hokusai resolves dependencies automatically. If you build a single target, its transitive dependencies are included.
### Download targets
Targets can download files from URLs instead of generating them:
```yaml
targets:
reference.jpg:
download: https://example.com/image.jpg
variation.png:
prompt: "A variation of this image in watercolor style"
reference_images:
- reference.jpg
```
Download targets participate in dependency resolution like any other target. They are skipped if the URL hasn't changed.
### Archiving previous outputs
Set `archive_folder` at the top level to preserve previous versions of generated files. When a target is rebuilt, the existing output is moved to the archive folder with an incrementing numeric suffix:

### `hokusai regenerate <targets...>`
Force regeneration of specific targets, ignoring their up-to-date status. Useful for getting a new variation of an AI-generated output without changing the prompt.
```bash
hokusai regenerate hero.png # regenerate one target
hokusai regenerate hero.png logo.png # regenerate multiple targets
```
If `archive_folder` is set, the previous versions are archived before regeneration.
### `hokusai clean`
Remove all generated target files and the build state file (`.hokusai.state.yaml`). Input files are preserved.
If `archive_folder` is set, files are moved to the archive instead of being deleted.
