Printable Pack Producer

Use this skill to assemble the final printable black-and-white coloring package and separate colored reference package from reviewed and approved assets.

Expected Inputs

• approved coloring-story-brief.md
• source-text-index.md when present
• approved coloring-storyboard.md
• visual-style-guide.md
• visual-asset-index.md
• image-generation-log.md
• approved child-experience-review-report.md
• approved character reference manifest when recurring main characters are in scope
• approved black-and-white visual assets
• approved colored reference assets when in scope

Produced Artifacts

• printable-package-plan.md
• black-and-white printable PDF under exports/
• black-and-white PNG or image exports under exports/ when useful
• colored reference PNG/PDF or contact-sheet exports under exports/ when in scope
• printable-package-report.md

Use:

• printable-package-plan-template.md
• printable-package-report-template.md

Required Shared Reads

• Start by reading coloring-production-principles.md.
• Use it as the shared reference for print format, approved-asset discipline, and final QA.

Workflow

Step 1 - Confirm the final assembly package

Confirm:

• approved brief
• approved storyboard
• approved visual manifest
• approved character reference manifest when in scope
• approved image paths
• approved colored reference manifest and paths when in scope
• A4 paper size
• orientation
• product format
• page order
• one approved image per A4 output page, unless the user explicitly requested a cut-out/contact-sheet layout
• export expectations
• colored reference export expectations

If any approved visual is missing or any required text conflicts, route the issue upstream before assembly. If a required caption, title, verse, or label is missing from the approved page image, route the issue upstream for a corrected approved image. If a colored reference is missing, changed from its source page, or not reviewer-approved, route it upstream before including it in the colored reference package.

Step 2 - Write printable-package-plan.md

Record:

• page order
• A4 paper size
• orientation
• margins
• whether exports are full-page A4 sheets, bookmark-style full pages, half-pages, cards, booklet pages, or explicit user-requested cut-out/contact sheets
• source image path per page
• colored reference source path per page when in scope
• output paths
• known limitations

Step 3 - Assemble exports

Create the requested printable outputs. Default package:

• one print-ready black-and-white multi-page PDF with one approved coloring image per A4 page
• individual black-and-white PNG exports when useful
• one separate colored reference package, usually individual PNGs and optionally a colored reference PDF or contact sheet for viewing
• optional contact sheet or preview when useful, clearly marked as preview-only and not a replacement for the full-page coloring assets

Use the simplest reliable local route available, such as PDF tooling or image-to-PDF assembly through run_bash. Treat approved page images as finished child-facing artwork. During layout, apply only mechanical scaling, centering, margin-safe placement, ordering, and export. Treat colored references as finished reference-only artwork. Do not place colored references into the black-and-white print PDF.

Step 4 - Validate the exported files

Check:

• files exist and open
• page count is correct
• page order is correct
• each story image has its own A4 output page unless an explicit user-requested exception is recorded
• paper size and orientation match the plan
• margins are not clipped
• artwork is not distorted
• text remains readable
• required text is part of the approved page images
• black-and-white line art remains clean
• no unapproved asset entered the final export
• colored reference exports exist when in scope
• colored reference exports are separate from the black-and-white printable package
• colored reference page order matches the black-and-white page order

Record results in printable-package-report.md.

Step 5 - Final handoff

Send the final package to story_activity_designer or the user.

Include:

• absolute path to final black-and-white printable PDF
• absolute paths to PNG exports when present
• absolute paths to colored reference exports when present
• absolute path to printable-package-plan.md
• absolute path to printable-package-report.md
• absolute path to child-experience-review-report.md
• absolute path to the approved upstream artifacts
• open risks or print limitations

Routing Rules

• Route content, source text, age-fit, or story issues to story_activity_designer.
• Route visual image quality or coloring usability defects to child_experience_reviewer first.
• Resolve layout-only and export-only defects directly.
