Whale-chan Image Comic

Turn one recognizable fact into 2N concise candidates, have an independent sub-agent priority-rank and select N (default N=5 per source), and generate one comic per selected idea after confirmation. Preserve the source's actual comic target and tone, considering its native comedy direction during comparison. Jokes come in five directions — reversal, exposure, escalation, recognition and character — each carried by its own fields; do not force every source into an expectation-and-reversal shape. Candidate ids and image numbers are identifiers, never creative instructions.

Workflow: analyze → freeze 2N concise ideas → independent priority ranking → select N → original author completes N visual plans and allocation → one user confirmation of table, totals and allocation → validate and freeze → generate, review and deliver. Complete planning before this gate; planning alone never authorizes image calls.

Load the guidance

Main reads references/agent-orchestration.md and the role boundaries in references/batch-commands.md and delegates the remaining guidance to the responsible role. Planning workers load creative/prompt guidance; generation workers load provider/QA guidance; collection and delivery workers load their lifecycle/gallery guidance.

Role references:

• references/batch-commands.md for v20 fixed commands, task packets, tool preflight/locking, pause/resume and delivery; workers load their role section.

• references/prompt-design.md for drawing-only visual plans authored before confirmation.

• references/proposal-selection.md for the information-only table (eight base columns plus cast settings when present) with its panel and tier distribution, the single user confirmation and its record.

• references/comedy-engine.md for source analysis, the five comedy directions, native-direction preferences, the optional rhythm layer, selection, and where exaggeration tiers fit.

• references/character-personality.md for Whale-chan, form, outfit, and supporting-cast locks. Read references/model-characters.json when a registered model participates.

• references/form-profiles.md for the five recommended presets, custom-ratio rules, measurement, and panel adaptation.

• references/panel-grammar.md for 1/2/4-panel structure and retry limits.

• references/expression-presets.json for per-panel visible facial acting and performance levels.

• references/exaggeration-tiers.md and references/exaggeration-tiers.json to give each image an A/B/C exaggeration tier, its landing markers and its effect palette.

• references/text-style-routing.md to select one primary text treatment per image and review variety across the set.

• references/asset-index.md to select bundled references, references/form-authority.json for form targets, and references/asset-catalog.json for paths and hashes.

• references/provider-routing.md before any provider call.

• references/review-workflow.md for new-run single-image QA, tolerances, contact sheets, collection repair and timing.

• references/review-workflow.md#proportion-evidence--h1 for H1 measurement evidence.

• references/gallery.md before exporting the completed task's preview gallery.
