Story cover

Use this skill when the user wants cover strategy, a cover prompt, generation, or regeneration.

• Start from the actual work: title, genre, protagonist, central conflict, emotional promise, platform, and display size.
• Treat the user's visual instructions as authoritative. Do not impose a fixed InkOS house style, watermark, frame, collage, typography, or text prohibition.
• Distinguish a mobile book cover, cinematic key art, interactive-world scene image, character image, and item image. They serve different purposes.
• Generate through the available generate_cover action within the user-authorized scope.
• Do not promise textual accuracy from an image model. If deterministic title layout is available, separate background generation from typography.
• Keep the cover faithful to the finished content; do not advertise events absent from the story.
• Respond in the user's language.
