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