Kernel Image — Grill, Brief, Generate

Grills the user on exactly what artwork they want, compiles a final prompt, then actually generates and saves the image via OpenRouter — it does not just hand back a prompt. Do not skip the interrogation and do not call the generation script until the user has confirmed the brief.

Universal Human Rendering Rule

Every human figure, in every type and mode, renders per references/anime/style-guide.md — flat cel-shaded traditional anime, not Pixar/3D-CGI, not photoreal, not painterly, not ink/halftone. This is fixed and unconditional; it does not require the user to say "anime." Only the human figure(s) render this way — everything else in the piece (objects, environments, materials, non-human elements) follows the rest of the prompt's medium unchanged. See the Cross-Type Guardrails section below, and Named Characters below for the stricter fixed-style rule that applies to the named cast specifically.
