+Analyse the artwork image and return a JSON array of relevant tags.
+Cover: art style, subject/theme, dominant colours, mood, technique, and medium where visible.
+
+Rules:
+- Return ONLY a valid JSON array of lowercase strings — no markdown, no explanation.
+- Each tag must be 1–4 words, no punctuation except hyphens.
+- Between 6 and 12 tags total.
+
+Example output:
+["digital painting","fantasy","portrait","dark tones","glowing eyes","detailed","dramatic lighting"]

+# Skinbase Tag System
+
+Architecture reference for the Skinbase unified tag system.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+```
+TagInput (React)
+   ├─ GET /api/tags/search?q=        → TagController@search
+   └─ GET /api/tags/popular          → TagController@popular
+
+ArtworkTagController
+   ├─ GET    /api/artworks/{id}/tags
+   ├─ POST   /api/artworks/{id}/tags  → TagService::attachUserTags()
+   ├─ PUT    /api/artworks/{id}/tags  → TagService::syncTags()
+   └─ DELETE /api/artworks/{id}/tags/{tag} → TagService::detachTags()
+
+TagService → TagNormalizer → Tag (model) → artwork_tag (pivot)
+ArtworkObserver / TagService → IndexArtworkJob → Meilisearch
+```
+
+---
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### `tags`
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|--------|------|-------|
+| id | bigint PK | |
+| name | varchar(64) | unique |
+| slug | varchar(64) | unique, normalized |
+| usage_count | bigint | maintained by TagService |
+| is_active | boolean | false = hidden from search |
+| created_at / updated_at | timestamps | |
+
+### `artwork_tag` (pivot)
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|--------|------|-------|
+| artwork_id | bigint FK | |
+| tag_id | bigint FK | |
+| source | enum(user,ai,system) | |
+| confidence | float NULL | AI only |
+| created_at | timestamp | |
+
+PK: `(artwork_id, tag_id)` — one row per pair, user source takes precedence over ai.
+
+### `tag_synonyms`
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|--------|------|-------|
+| id | bigint PK | |
+| tag_id | bigint FK | cascade delete |
+| synonym | varchar(64) | |
+
+Unique: `(tag_id, synonym)`.
+
+---
+
+## Services
+
+### `TagNormalizer`
+
+`App\Services\TagNormalizer`
+
+```php
+$n->normalize('  Café Night!! '); // → 'cafe-night'
+$n->normalize('🚀 Rocket');       // → 'rocket'
+```
+
+Rules applied in order:
+1. Trim + lowercase (UTF-8)
+2. Unicode → ASCII transliteration (Transliterator / iconv)
+3. Strip everything except `[a-z0-9 -]`
+4. Collapse whitespace → hyphens
+5. Strip leading/trailing hyphens
+6. Clamp to `config('tags.max_length', 32)` characters
+
+### `TagService`
+
+`App\Services\TagService`
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `attachUserTags(Artwork, string[])` | Normalize → findOrCreate → attach with `source=user`. Skips duplicates. Max 15. |
+| `attachAiTags(Artwork, array{tag,confidence}[])` | Normalize → findOrCreate → syncWithoutDetaching `source=ai`. Existing user pivot is never overwritten. |
+| `detachTags(Artwork, string[])` | Detach by slug, decrement usage_count. |
+| `syncTags(Artwork, string[])` | Replace full user-tag set. New tags increment, removed tags decrement. |
+| `updateUsageCount(Tag, int)` | Clamp-safe increment/decrement. |
+
+---
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Public (no auth)
+
+```
+GET /api/tags/search?q={query}&limit={n}
+GET /api/tags/popular?limit={n}
+```
+
+Response shape:
+```json
+{ "data": [{ "id": 1, "name": "city", "slug": "city", "usage_count": 412 }] }
+```
+
+### Authenticated (artwork owner or admin)
+
+```
+GET    /api/artworks/{id}/tags
+POST   /api/artworks/{id}/tags        body: { "tags": ["city", "night"] }
+PUT    /api/artworks/{id}/tags        body: { "tags": ["city", "night", "rain"] }
+DELETE /api/artworks/{id}/tags/{tag}
+```
+
+All tag mutations dispatch `IndexArtworkJob` to keep Meilisearch in sync.
+
+---
+
+## Meilisearch Integration
+
+Index name: `skinbase_prod_artworks` (prefix from `MEILI_PREFIX` env var).
+
+Tags are stored in the `tags` field as an array of slugs:
+```json
+{ "id": 42, "tags": ["city", "night", "cyberpunk"], ... }
+```
+
+Filterable: `tags`  
+Searchable: `tags` (full-text match on tag slugs)
+
+Sync triggered by:
+- `ArtworkObserver` (created/updated/deleted/restored)
+- `TagService` — all mutation methods dispatch `IndexArtworkJob`
+- `ArtworkAwardService::syncToSearch()`
+
+Rebuild all: `php artisan artworks:search-rebuild`
+
+---
+
+## UI Component
+
+`resources/js/components/tags/TagInput.jsx`
+
+```jsx
+<TagInput
+  value={tags}          // string[]
+  onChange={setTags}    // (string[]) => void
+  suggestedTags={aiTags} // [{ tag, confidence }]
+  maxTags={15}
+  searchEndpoint="/api/tags/search"
+  popularEndpoint="/api/tags/popular"
+/>
+```
+
+**Keyboard shortcuts:**
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| Enter / Comma | Add current input as tag |
+| Tab | Accept highlighted suggestion or add input |
+| Backspace (empty input) | Remove last tag |
+| Arrow Up/Down | Navigate suggestions |
+| Escape | Close suggestions |
+
+Paste splits on commas automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Tag Pages (SEO)
+
+Route: `GET /tag/{slug}`  
+Controller: `TagController@show` (`App\Http\Controllers\Web\TagController`)
+
+SEO output per page:
+- `<title>` → `{Tag} Artworks | Skinbase`
+- `<meta name="description">` → `Browse {count}+ artworks tagged with {tag}.`
+- `<link rel="canonical">` → `https://skinbase.org/tag/{slug}`
+- JSON-LD `CollectionPage` schema
+- Prev/next pagination links
+- `?sort=popular|latest|liked|downloads` supported
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+`config/tags.php`
+
+```php
+'max_length'    => 32,     // max chars per tag slug
+'max_per_upload'=> 15,     // max tags per artwork
+'banned'        => [],     // blocked slugs (add to env-driven list)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+PHP: `tests/Feature/TagSystemTest.php`
+
+Covers: normalization, duplicate prevention, AI attach, sync, usage counts, force-delete cleanup.
+
+JS: `resources/js/components/tags/TagInput.test.jsx`
+
+Covers: add/remove, keyboard accept, paste, API failure, max-tags limit.
+
+Run:
+```bash
+php artisan test --filter=TagSystem
+npm test -- TagInput
+```
