Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/promo-clip/protocol.md first, and the images section of ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/promo-craft/providers.md. stage art start.

1. Art list

From every Picture: line in V/script.md and the ## Visuals and ## End card sections of V/brief.md, list each asset once:

key	kind	source	used in

• kind — subject (character, prop, object: a die-cut sticker drawn with art()), backdrop (full-frame scene behind a whole scene, drawn with backdrop()), screen (app screenshot shown in phone()), photo (real photo, e.g. in a polaroid()), logo/badge/qr.
• source — ai, or the user's file.
• key — short snake_case; it becomes the manifest key the scenes use.

Small things the collage style draws in code need no art: sun, moon, clouds, gulls, phone frames, polaroid frames, speech bubbles, icons (wifi, check, cross, stopwatch, gear, trophy, padlock, credit card, keypad), stamps, confetti, data tags, stick-figure people (person()), boats, islands, compass, maps. List only what must be pictured. Reuse one character pose across scenes where the script allows; each AI image costs ~$0.07.

Show the list and its estimate (AI count × the price from art generate's log) before generating.

2. Make each asset

• AI subject: art generate <key> "<what, pose, expression, clothing, colours>" then art process <key>. Add --ref <file> (repeatable) for a style or likeness reference from assets/ref/. One subject per image, full body for characters.
• AI backdrop: art generate <key> "<place, light, mood>" --kind backdrop then art process <key> --kind backdrop (fills the primary format's aspect; JPEG).
• Own subject cut-out: on a plain magenta background → art process <file> --out <key>; anything else → ask for a cut-out PNG, or use it as a framed photo instead.
• Own photo / screenshot: art process <file> --nokey --out <key> (just resized), or copy it into assets/img/ and run art manifest.
• QR / logo / badges: art qr <url> (done in discovery if the end card has a QR); logo and badge files in assets/img/ + art manifest.

After each art process, look at the result (Read the PNG): a stray ground line under the subject, a cut-off limb or a magenta fringe means regenerate (edits can't fix geometry — change the prompt and generate again).

Done when every row of the art list has a file in manifest.json.

3. Check

• art check — warns when an asset would look soft at the largest output size; re-process with the --max it suggests, or regenerate with --hires=true for 4K.
• art contact → .work/contact_sheet.jpg. Read it.

Gate: the contact sheet + the art list. Gate per the protocol; a rejected asset is regenerated (new prompt) or replaced. Then stage art done (scenes go stale on a re-run).
