Developer builds plain-text tool to stop AI image editors from changing unwanted elements

A developer frustrated with AI image generation tools has created a plain-text 'art director' system that helps users make targeted edits without unintended changes to the rest of an image. The core problem it addresses is that AI models, when asked to change one element, tend to regenerate entire scenes because prompts rarely specify what should remain unchanged. The tool works by structuring prompts to explicitly separate 'locked' elements from those being modified, and can be pasted directly into ChatGPT or Claude with no installation required. A free version is available on GitHub, while a $19 one-time Pro bundle offers advanced features including an edit-state ledger and deeper diagnostic tools. The creator acknowledges the tool is primarily tested on ChatGPT and GPT Image, and notes it is a mitigation rather than a guaranteed solution for whole-frame renderers.
