Modular AI Content Ecosystem with Audio Generation

# OpenRaster (ORA) Image Creation and Editing Tool Specification

## Overview

The OpenRaster Tool is a comprehensive chat agent-integrated image creation and editing system that leverages AI-generated content, SVG graphics, and text layers to create complex, layered compositions in the OpenRaster (.ora) format. This tool enables Photoshop-like functionality through conversational AI assistance, allowing users to create sophisticated multi-layer images with mixed content types through natural language commands.

**Primary Interface**: Chat Agent Integration (with optional direct CLI commands as future enhancement)
**Core Philosophy**: Natural language image composition - users describe what they want, AI creates layered compositions

## What is OpenRaster (ORA)?

OpenRaster is an open standard for layered raster graphics, designed as an open alternative to proprietary formats like PSD. Key features:
- **Layer-based composition**: Multiple layers with different blend modes and opacity
- **Mixed content support**: Raster images, vector graphics, text layers
- **Non-destructive editing**: Layers maintain independence
- **Cross-platform compatibility**: Supported by GIMP, Krita, MyPaint, and other tools
- **ZIP-based format**: Contains XML metadata and individual layer files
