Children Book Image Generator (`children-book-image-generator`)

This skill is tuned for warm storytelling, age-appropriate clarity, gentle composition, and storybook-friendly prompt writing.

This skill keeps the same single-gateway runtime, readiness gate, model-selection flow, and CLI behavior as image-generation, but narrows the briefing and prompt construction for children book image generator work.

Safety & Scope

Network: This skill calls the WeryAI gateway over HTTPS (https://api.weryai.com).
Auth: Uses IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY. The key is never printed. It may be persisted only when you explicitly run npm run setup -- --persist-api-key.
Reference images: Must be public URLs (https:// recommended). http:// may work but is insecure. Local file paths and data: URLs are rejected.
No arbitrary shell: The generation runtime does not execute arbitrary shell commands.
Files written: Output images and optional local config under .image-skills/children-book-image-generator/ (project) and/or ~/.image-skills/children-book-image-generator/ (home).

Use Cases

storybook scene illustrations
picture-book page art
bedtime story visuals
educational children illustrations
kid-friendly animal or family scenes

First Trigger Rules

Before the first generation run in a new project or environment:

Run npm run ensure-ready -- --project . --workflow <workflow>
If runtime dependencies are missing, ask for approval and install them
If IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY is missing, offer to configure it now
If no model is configured yet, initialize Nano Banana 2 (GEMINI_3_1_FLASH_IMAGE) as the default

Do not ask the user to edit config files manually. Treat API keys as secrets and never echo them back.

Clarify These Decisions

Ask one question at a time. Prioritize:

story moment or page event
target age range
soft watercolor, flat picture-book, whimsical, or classic illustration feel
whether the page needs empty space for text
main emotional tone: comforting, adventurous, playful, magical, or educational

Recommended Defaults

aspect ratio: 4:3 or 1:1
recommended style: watercolor, editorial, or flat-illustration
composition: simple readable storytelling with one main moment
palette: warm, soft, friendly, and age-appropriate

Prompt Blueprint

Build the prompt in this order:

Story beat: what is happening in this exact page moment.
Characters: child, animal, parent, creature, object-with-personality, etc.
Environment: bedroom, forest, classroom, magical world, garden, etc.
Emotion: cozy, curious, joyful, brave, sleepy, comforting, etc.
Book treatment: picture-book layout, gentle palette, text-safe space if needed.

Use one clean prompt direction at a time instead of mixing many competing ideas.

Prompt Rules

Favor clear storytelling over visual complexity.
Use soft emotional language and concrete scene details that children can understand.
If the illustration is for a page spread, reserve calm space for text when needed.
Keep expressions readable and the scene emotionally safe unless the user wants tension.

Avoid

grim horror-like lighting or frightening details unless explicitly requested
crowded cinematic action that becomes hard to read
harsh color contrast that feels aggressive for young readers
tiny narrative details that distract from the main story beat

Workflow

Run the readiness gate and resolve IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY
Clarify the scenario-specific decisions above
Build a single strong prompt from the blueprint
Choose a recommended style only if it helps the request
Generate the image
If the user wants variations, change one major variable at a time and re-generate

Script

{baseDir} is the directory containing this file. ${BUN_X} is either bun or npx -y bun.

Path	Purpose
`{baseDir}/scripts/main.ts`	the only execution entrypoint

Usage Examples

# examples only; M should be chosen by the user or resolved by the agent
M=<chosen model key>

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "children book illustration, little fox reading under a glowing tree at dusk, cozy magical forest, gentle warm lights, calm storytelling composition, space at top for page text" --style watercolor --image storybook.png --ar 4:3 -m "$M"

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts --prompt "picture book scene, two siblings building a cardboard rocket in their bedroom, joyful playful mood, soft pastel palette, friendly details, clear storytelling for young children" --style editorial --image storybook-room.png --ar 4:3 -m "$M"

Delivery Rules

Tell the user what you are generating and which model is being used before you start
Show the image directly when it is ready; do not reply with only a filename
If the user asks for revisions, only change the necessary direction instead of restarting everything
If the request is underspecified, use the clarification order above before writing the final prompt
