description

Generate Amazon KDP A+ Content ("From the Publisher") in the proven kawaii coloring-book style (Girl Getaway / MinaAru best-seller look) — a 5-module strip: brand hero, book specs, feature icons + "Meet the Friends" character line-up, and two page-sample showcases. Layout pattern: warm golden background for hero/specs, solid teal for showcases (1 large colored sample + 2 line-art thumbnails each). Produces aplus_content.json (baked-in copy + full kawaii image prompts) and appends the A+ prompts into the book's image_prompts.json. USE WHEN user says 'tao content A+', 'create A+ content', 'kdp a plus', 'from the publisher', 'a+ modules', 'lam content a+', 'enhanced brand content', 'tao a+ cho sach', 'add a+ content', 'make a+ for book', 'meet the friends', 'aplus kawaii'.

KDP A+ Content Generator (kawaii style)

Turn a finished or planned coloring book into a 5-module A+ Content strip — the "From the Publisher" images that sell the book below the description. The target look is the best-selling kawaii coloring-book style (Girl Getaway / MinaAru): product-first layout with minimal decoration, bold background colors, and a dominant large colored sample in each showcase panel. Key pattern: warm golden yellow background for hero + specs; solid teal background for the two sample showcases; scalloped kawaii frame ONLY on the features/friends module.

Each module is ONE image; marketing copy is baked INTO the image at layout time. This skill writes the theme-aware copy + full kawaii image prompts; a script does the mechanical append into the book's render queue. The art is rendered later by the repo's normal image pipeline.

Inputs

Works off an existing book under output/{theme_key}/:

• plan.json — title, subtitle, audience, page_size, author/brand, keywords, cover_prompt, page_prompts (required).
• cover.png / front_artwork.png — the cover, composited into the hero (optional).
• images/page_NN.png — interior pages, composited into specs + sample modules (optional).
• image_prompts.json — the render queue (optional; created if missing).

If the user names a book ("A+ for farm_animals_cute_adult") use that theme_key. Otherwise list output/*/plan.json and ask which book.

author may be a dict {first_name, last_name} or a string — render it as "First Last" for the brand wordmark.

Process

Step 1 — Read the book

Load output/{theme_key}/plan.json. Pull title, subtitle, audience, page_size, author/brand, keywords, cover_prompt, and skim every page_prompts entry to learn:

• the real scene mix (what's actually inside), and
• the recurring characters / motifs for the "Meet the Friends" line-up.

The A+ copy MUST reference what's really in this book — real scenes, real page count (len(page_prompts)), real trim (page_size). Never generic filler.

Step 2 — Lock the style, then write the 5 modules

Read references/kawaii-style.md (the visual DNA — borders, doodles, fonts, mascot, palette) and references/aplus-modules.md (the 5-module layout + per-module copy spec). Decide ONE palette pulled from cover_prompt and carry it across all modules.

Write output/{theme_key}/aplus_content.json with all 5 modules: 01_hero, 02_specs, 03_features_friends, 04_sample_showcase_a, 05_sample_showcase_b.

For each module fill:

• copy — the exact text baked into the image (keys per the module spec). Match the book's tone.
• image_prompt — a self-contained kawaii panel the renderer can draw directly: cream scalloped border, the book palette, the right composition, and clear empty space reserved for the copy. Carry every style pillar from kawaii-style.md into the wording.
• size — 970x500 for the hero banner, 970x600 for the rest.
• composite — false / "cover" / "page" / "pages": which real files to drop in at layout.

Use the book's real numbers and weave 1–2 top keywords naturally into headlines — never stuff.

Step 3 — Generate the A+ images

Option A — generate directly (preferred, uses chatgpt renderer via local proxy):

python3 scripts/generate_aplus_images.py <theme_key> [--renderer chatgpt|ai33|nanopic]

Reads aplus_content.json, calls the renderer for each module, crops/resizes to exact A+ pixel size (970x500 hero, 970x600 rest), and saves to output/{theme_key}/aplus/aplus_<id>.png. Default renderer is chatgpt. Modules with "composite" set still generate the AI background — the user composites the real cover/page on top afterwards.

Option B — append to render queue (for batch / external tool flows):

python3 .claude/skills/kdp-aplus-content/scripts/append_aplus.py <theme_key>

Pushes the 5 prompts into image_prompts.json at their sizes. Idempotent.

Step 4 — Report

Tell the user: the 5 images generated to output/{theme_key}/aplus/, which need real cover/page composites on top (01_hero ← composite real cover; 02_specs/04/05 ← composite real pages as thumbnails), and point them to aplus_content.json for the copy to type into KDP A+ layout.

Output

Type: book asset · Location: output/{theme_key}/

• aplus_content.json — 5 kawaii modules, copy + image prompts (NEW)
• aplus/aplus_<id>.png — 5 rendered A+ images at exact KDP size (NEW, via generate_aplus_images.py)
• image_prompts.json — A+ prompts appended at their sizes (UPDATED, via append_aplus.py)

Quality Criteria

GOOD A+ content:

• Looks like ONE branded kawaii set — same palette, same cream wavy borders, same fonts across all 5.
• Copy names what's ACTUALLY inside (real scenes, real page count, real trim size).
• "Meet the Friends" shows THIS book's real recurring characters (or its signature motifs).
• Mostly imagery; text is short, big, scannable — one headline + ≤3 captions per module.
• Reserves clear empty space in each prompt for the baked-in copy.
• Flags the cover/page-composite modules instead of letting AI fake the cover or book pages.
• 970 px wide (exact), ≤ 5 MB, PNG/JPG. A+ images are screen-only — DPI metadata is irrelevant; KDP does not check it.

BAD A+ content:

• Generic "relax and unwind" copy that fits any book; invented features.
• Walls of text baked into the image; mismatched colors module-to-module.
• A hard rectangular border instead of the soft hand-drawn kawaii frame.
• Fake "characters" that never appear in the book.

References

• references/kawaii-style.md — the kawaii visual DNA (read FIRST). Borders, doodles, fonts, mascot, palette, KDP rules.
• references/aplus-modules.md — the 5-module layout, per-module copy spec, aplus_content.json shape.

Scripts

• scripts/append_aplus.py — append A+ prompts into image_prompts.json (batch/external render flow). Run: python3 .claude/skills/kdp-aplus-content/scripts/append_aplus.py <theme_key>
• scripts/generate_aplus_images.py — generate A+ images directly with chatgpt renderer, save to aplus/. Run: python3 scripts/generate_aplus_images.py <theme_key> [--renderer chatgpt|ai33|nanopic]
