Nodaro DocsStyle Guide
The Style Guide node holds written visual direction. It cannot be wired into generation nodes, so put your style in Generate Script, Generate Image or a picker.
The Style Guide node holds a written description of your visual style: the color palette, the rendering style and composition rules. It never runs a model and costs nothing.
It does not change a run
The canvas refuses a wire from Style Guide to Generate Image, Generate Video or Generate Script, so its text never reaches a run. Put the style where a run reads it, as shown below.

| Prompt pre and post text | Your own words, added to every run of a node |
Write a good style guide
- Name visual elements.

watercolor backgrounds with soft edgesorsymmetrical framing with a pastel palette. - Keep it under about 500 characters. A longer guide can dilute the most important directions.
