create-goose-graphics
Purpose
Generate styled graphic frames for video scenes using the installed goose-graphics skill and npx gooseworks style catalog.
Use when a programmatic video needs polished still frames or visual motifs such as pillow-block cards, branded endcards, or scene-specific graphics.
Inputs
- Visual brief for each needed frame.
- Target style slug, defaulting to
pillow-block for Gooseworks-style block graphics when appropriate.
- Format/aspect requirement, usually 9:16 story for short-form ads.
- Output directory for HTML and PNG exports.
Workflow
- Confirm the
goose-graphics skill exists at the installed path and load it when invoked.
- Discover current style/format availability with
npx gooseworks styles list or search; never assume community slugs exist.
- Fetch the selected style spec with
npx gooseworks styles get <slug>.
- Generate HTML frames that obey the style spec, video aspect ratio, and scene content.
- Export PNGs using the goose-graphics Playwright screenshot pipeline or equivalent browser screenshot flow.
- Record the style slug, source prompt, HTML path, PNG path, and any deviations in the run manifest.
Output
- Styled HTML frame files.
- Exported PNG frames.
- Style/spec notes copied into the production manifest.
manifest.json and verification.md for test or production runs.
Quality Checks
- Style slug was discovered/fetched rather than assumed.
- Output dimensions match the requested video format.
- Text is legible and does not collide with frame edges or other elements.
- Graphics are usable as final video frames, not just storyboard placeholders.
- If
pillow-block is used: flat squircle tiles, off-white canvas, no shadows/gradients unless the fetched spec allows them.
Failure Modes
goose-graphics skill or npx gooseworks is unavailable.- Requested style or format slug does not exist.
- Screenshot renderer dependencies are missing.
- Exported PNG is blank, wrong aspect ratio, or visually inconsistent with the fetched style.
