Turn a document or a one-line prompt into a full graphic-novel production plan. Page count drives the structure; HAL returns the canon, the plate-by-plate breakdown, and the asset sheets to build first — you lock it, then build. Covers come last, clean for the Photoshop pass.
1
The plan
HAL returns a production document — asset canon, plate-by-plate, image list, sheets. You review and lock it.
2
The build
Test one page to lock the look, then build the album. Covers generate clean at 16:9 — text added in PSD.
No document attached. Attach the same file in HAL when you paste the prompt.

Generation aspect canvas before crop
Bleed / margin
Generation aspect is the canvas each image is produced at (16:9 default) before Topaz upscale and the Photoshop crop. Final panel shapes come from trim + rhythm.

Lineage / medium
Palette / grade
Line / ink
Extra style notes
Style reference image(s)
No reference attached. The prompt tells HAL to match an attached style image — attach it there too.

Tone
Register
Tone notes name performers as references
Tone notes accept named performers — pacing, delivery, and comedic register transfer; likeness does not. See the AI2BOOK guide for phrasing.

The plan
Set the source, format, style, and tone — then build. Test one page to lock the look, then build the full album.
Use: paste into HAL with your source attached. HAL returns a full production plan — canon, plate-by-plate, image list, and the asset sheets to build first. Iterate in chat until it's locked, then build the pages.
Covers
Covers generate dead clean at 16:9 with zero text — no titles, no copy, no lettering. You add all type in Photoshop and crop to trim. Run last, at assembly.
