Asset Attribution Surface Contract

License metadata should not live only in the catalog. CC BY, custom-licensed maps, photos, illustrations, Lottie files, and similar assets need readable, nearby, traceable attribution, license links, change notes, and commercial-use risk in the UI, export, or source notes.

Attribution is part of interface information architecture, not only an asset-catalog field. Any resource whose license requires credit needs a surface that users can find, reviewers can audit, and agents can trace.95%

Asset License Metadata Record

Asset-library intake must record license, commercial-use judgment, attribution needs, download method, and RAG keywords at the specific resource level, not just the platform name.

The value of an asset library is not volume. It is legal reuse, traceability, downloadability, and accurate agent retrieval. Aggregators and marketplaces especially require per-resource license decisions.93%
Visual Foundationsmedia / crop

Media Crop Intent

Media Crop Intent turns a frequent interface judgment into an executable constraint before generation.

Images are information objects, not texture; bad cropping harms trust and understanding.84%

Visual Assets by Page Type

Visual assets should reveal the real product, scene, gameplay, or person rather than only provide vague atmosphere.

When users need to inspect an object, imagery must be specific, clear, and relevant.82%
