Video Character Design

Use this skill to create a reusable character asset package for video planning, storyboard generation, and image-to-video generation.

The package has two files:

1. {character-name}.md — the character design specification.
2. {character-name}.png — the character design sheet image generated only after the user confirms the .md.

The user-facing .md may be written in the user's preferred local language unless they request English. Keep file names simple, lowercase, and filesystem-safe.

Image Generation Requirement

Character sheet images must be generated by an image-generation model. Do not create character artwork with code, SVG, HTML/CSS, canvas, diagrams, placeholder drawings, or deterministic shape scripts. Those methods are acceptable only for non-visual metadata, file operations, or optional post-processing after the model-generated character sheet exists.

Use the built-in image_gen tool by default, or an approved project image-generation workflow when explicitly required. After generation, save or copy the model-generated raster output to characters/{character-name}.png. If the model output cannot be saved directly, locate the generated raster asset and move/copy it into the required path; do not recreate it programmatically.
