Active Arc Planner

Best Practices

  1. 1Give it the series premise and episode count before asking for a plan
  2. 2Every panel entry needs story_move, visual_proof, and information_delta — incomplete rows fail lint
  3. 3Bank-layer selection must reference real layers in the manifest, not invented ones
  4. 4Self-lint the plan before handing to Pearl_Manga_Writer
  5. 5A series_plan is a listing — a story needs authored panels

CLI Examples

# Plan a new arc
act as pearl_manga_storyboarder — plan a 12-episode arc for Vessels of Light, teacher-mode genre

# Build panel board
pearl_manga_storyboarder: build panel board for Episode 3 — 18 panels, story_move/visual_proof/information_delta

# Self-lint
pearl_manga_storyboarder: self-lint arc_storyboard_plan vessels_of_light.yaml

# Bank-layer selection
pearl_manga_storyboarder: select bank layers for panels 1-6 from the vessels manifest

Do Not Use For

  • Writing episode prose — that's Pearl_Manga_Writer
  • Skipping self-lint — the lint gate will catch it in CI anyway, but it wastes a loop
  • Marking a series_plan as 'story authored' — it isn't until Pearl_Manga_Writer runs
