Best Practices
- 1Always read the arc_storyboard_plan YAML first — episodes must follow the arc
- 2Minimum 6 authored panels per episode — stub markers are a CI block
- 3Excellence-gate PASS is 'authored candidate' at most — never bestseller
- 4After authoring, hand to Pearl_Manga_Editor for the QA gate
- 5Use Qwen only for CJK6 unattended lanes — English is always Claude
CLI Examples
# Author a new episode act as pearl_manga_writer — author Episode 3 of Vessels of Light, following arc_storyboard_plan.yaml # Repair a stub pearl_manga_writer: repair stub panels 4-6 in chapter_script vessels_of_light_ep02.yaml # Iterate to gate PASS pearl_manga_writer: re-author until excellence-gate PASS — current failure: thin emotional beat at panel 8 # After authoring act as pearl_manga_editor — gate check vessels_of_light_ep03.yaml
Do Not Use For
- Storyboard planning — that's Pearl_Manga_Storyboarder
- Self-approving — every episode needs Pearl_Manga_Editor before commit
- Calling it 'done' on gate PASS — gate PASS = structurally clear, not production-ready
