contents Existing instruction-based image editing models perform well with simple, single-step instructions but degrade in realistic scenarios that involve multiple, lengthy, and interdependent directives. A main cause is the scarcity of training data with complex multi-instruction annotations. However, it is costly to collect such data and retrain these models. To address this challenge, we propose MSRAMIE, a training-free agent framework built on Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM). MSRAMIE takes existing editing models as plug-in components and handle multi-instruction tasks via structured multimodal reasoning. It orchestrates iterative interactions between an MLLM-based Instructor and an image editing Actor, introducing a novel reasoning topology that comprises the proposed Tree-of-States and Graph-of-References. During inference, complex instructions are decomposed into multiple editing steps which enable state transitions, cross-step information aggregation, and original input recall, which enables systematic exploration of the image editing space and flexible progressive output refinement. The visualizable inference topology further provides interpretable and controllable decision pathways. Experiments show that as the instruction complexity increases, MSRAMIE can improve instruction following over 15% and increases the probability of finishing all modifications in a single run over 100%, while preserving perceptual quality and maintaining visual consistency.
