  "prompt": "Concept-art character plate for ANNOUNCE-BOT, a small tireless IRC daemon — a presence, not a person — that drops pre-release magnet links into a dark channel. Render it as a text-construct given just enough body to be unsettling: a compact upright figure assembled entirely from glowing seed-green monospace characters (#4f9e3a), angle-brackets, magnet glyphs and ASCII, its silhouette a blocky little herald, its 'face' a single blinking square text-cursor where an eye should be. It floats at the center of a black IRC terminal void, the channel list and topic line ghosting behind it in faint phosphor. Around its outstretched hand, half-formed magnet-link shapes assemble out of characters and drift downward toward the viewer like offered bait. The construct is helpful and very slightly menacing — too eager, never tiring, wanting nothing. Painterly digital concept art over a beige-and-black terminal frame (#c0c0c0 chrome bevel, #0b0b0b void), matte filmic finish, dense CRT scanlines, phosphor bloom, faint chromatic aberration, heavy grain, the degraded look of a 1999 screen photographed off-glass. One green accent glow only; everything else grey and dark. Mood: the swarm's automated mercy that is also a faster death — a 3 a.m. daemon, patient and bottomless. Centered, iconic, terminal-cold.",

If rendering the optional label '<announce-bot> pre-release magnet dropped', request it crisp in monospace; otherwise leave text faint. Emphasize 'figure made of glowing green monospace characters' and 'blinking-cursor eye'.",
