Create, version, validate, and maintain the shared webtoon artwork system used by character sheets, backgrounds, directed panels, effects, and integrated non-balloon text. Use when defining or changing line style, face/body proportions, palette, shading, materials, perspective, background detail, lighting, effects, SFX/onomatopoeia visual language, or approved style-anchor images; use before $create-character-sheet, $create-background, or $direct-webtoon image generation and when auditing cross-episode style drift or off-model art.

Create or revise reusable webtoon location records and approved versioned multi-angle background asset sets. Use when defining a story location, generating its canonical main view plus grounded reverse and oblique views, repairing background continuity, or linking approved background assets into backgrounds/*.md and episode panels.

Create, repair, normalize, validate, and version consistent webtoon character-sheet assets with a canonical identity, grounded turnaround views, torso reference, and expression families. Use when a character needs new or revised visual identity art under assets/characters/, when existing views or expressions drift, or when character-sheet PNGs and manifests must be prepared for episode art generation.

Create or refine canonical webtoon character Markdown files in characters/ with story metadata, acting range, visual identity locks, and links to approved character-sheet assets. Use when inventing, naming, documenting, or revising a cast member, or when preparing character canon before invoking $create-character-sheet for visual production.

Create or refine reusable webtoon story and visual material files in materials/, including motifs, props, clues, research, dialogue seeds, gestures, effects, references, and scene seeds. Use when an idea needs stable narrative purpose, visual continuity requirements, asset links, episode usage, or payoff tracking.

Create or refine webtoon plot files in plot/ for series, season, arc, episode, or thread scope. Use when structuring promises, causal escalation, episode ranges, dependencies, visible evidence, scroll-driven reveals, convergence, payoffs, hooks, or entry and exit states for vertical-scroll storytelling.

Create or refine canonical webtoon worldbuilding files in world/ for rules, institutions, eras, technologies, cultures, timelines, social systems, or persistent world state. Use when defining how the world works, how that rule creates story pressure, how readers can understand it visually, or which facts must remain consistent across episodes; use $create-background separately for a place and its multi-angle image assets.

Direct webtoon visuals from narrative beat through storyboard, sketch, panel generation, and final vertical section layout. Use when defining character blocking, acting, gaze, camera, background view, lighting, effects, integrated non-balloon text, balloon-safe regions, $imagegen prompts, visual QA, crops, overlaps, gutters, reveals, bridge layers, safe seams, or approved 690px-wide section PNGs.

Assemble, export, rebuild, and validate final vertical-scroll webtoon episodes as sequential PNG files under the series and episode folders in published/webtoon. Use when the author asks to publish, package, render, join, split, export, regenerate, or validate a webtoon episode; when checking 690px canvas width, 10,000px chunk limits, safe seams, section order, transition gutters, numbering, color mode, hashes, or final output integrity.

Design, create, revise, and validate vertical-scroll webtoon episodes, storyboards, panels, sketches, section plans, character acting, short dialogue, sound effects, balloons, and scroll pacing. Use when turning plot or canon into episode source under episodes/; planning cuts, camera, action, expression, balloon placement, or panel-to-panel transitions; generating speech-balloon-free panel art with approved character/background assets; lettering approved art; or checking episode and visual continuity before publication.
