Under the hood

What happens when you run it

You write a line. The agent does the rest — it studies this skill's guide, expands your idea into a full production brief, and runs the tools itself.

All 11 parts of the guide — 1. Build the identity block once, 2. Carry it verbatim and more.
Step 2
Writes the full brief
Turns your one line into a detailed, in-style prompt — about as rich as the 86-word example.
Step 3
Runs the right tools
Generate image, Edit image, Generate video — chosen and called by the agent, not by you.
Step 4
Delivers to your album
Your results land in Create, ready to edit, remix or animate.

About this skill

Keep a recurring character recognisable across many images or video shots — face, hair, body, wardrobe, palette and distinguishing marks. Use for named characters, mascots, hosts, series, storyboards, comic panels, character turnarounds and any multi-scene video where the same person or creature must appear twice.

Starter prompt

86 words

The exact brief that produced the image above — the level of detail the agent writes for you from a single line.

A character reference sheet on a warm light grey studio background, filling the frame. The same stylised young woman with a cropped auburn bob and a mustard scarf, drawn four times in a row: front view, three-quarter view, profile and back view, with identical features and an identical outfit in every one. Thin pale grey hairline dividers between the four poses, a small row of four costume colour swatches beneath. Bright flat even light, clean light grey ground with no background detail, crisp linework, no lettering.
