description

Generate Amazon KDP A+ Content ("From the Publisher") modules tailored to a coloring book's theme. Produces aplus_content.json (module copy + 970x600 image prompts) and appends the A+ image 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'.

KDP A+ Content Generator

Turn a finished (or planned) coloring book into a 7-module A+ Content set — the "From the Publisher" image strip that sells the book below the description. Each module is ONE image; the marketing copy is baked INTO that image at layout time.

This skill writes the theme-aware copy + image prompts; a script does the mechanical append into the book's image-generation queue.

Inputs

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

• plan.json — title, subtitle, audience, page_size, brand/author, keywords, page_prompts (required)
• image_prompts.json — the cover + page render queue (optional; created if missing)

If the user names a book ("A+ for cozy_cottage") use that theme_key. If they don't, list output/*/plan.json and ask which book.

---

Process

Step 1 — Read the book

Load output/{theme_key}/plan.json. Pull: title, subtitle, audience, page_size, brand/author, keywords, and skim page_prompts to learn the actual scene mix (e.g. cottages / gardens / critters). The A+ copy MUST reference what's really inside — never generic filler.

Step 2 — Write the 7 modules

Open references/aplus-modules.md for the canonical pattern, KDP specs, and copywriting rules. Write output/{theme_key}/aplus_content.json with all 7 modules. For each module fill:

• copy — the exact text that goes in the image (headline, bullets, captions). Match the book's tone (cozy = warm & gentle; kids = playful; anime = bold/energetic).
• image_prompt — a self-contained prompt the renderer can draw directly, in the book's palette, with clear empty space reserved for the copy. Mark which modules look best with real page composites.

Use the book's real numbers (page count, trim size) and its top keywords woven naturally into headlines/bullets.

Step 3 — Append to the render queue

Run the script to push the 7 A+ image prompts into image_prompts.json at 970x600:

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

It is idempotent (strips any prior aplus_* items first) and creates image_prompts.json if absent. It prints the final queue summary.

Step 4 — Report

Tell the user: the 7 modules created, which 3 need real-page composites (inside_grid, single_sided, before_after), and that size is 970x600 (use 16:10 if their renderer only takes ratios). Point them to aplus_content.json for the copy to type during layout.

Output

Type: book asset Location: output/{theme_key}/ Files produced / updated:

• aplus_content.json — 7 modules, copy + image prompts (NEW)
• image_prompts.json — A+ prompts appended at 970x600 (UPDATED)

---

Quality Criteria

GOOD A+ content:

• Copy names what's ACTUALLY in this book (real scenes, real page count, real trim size)
• Mostly imagery; text is short, large, scannable — one headline + ≤3 bullets per module
• Consistent palette pulled from the book's own cover/theme
• Reserves clear empty space in each prompt for the copy overlay
• Flags the 3 composite-with-real-pages modules instead of letting AI fake book pages
• 970px wide, 300 DPI, ≤5 MB per module (KDP hard limits)

BAD A+ content:

• Generic "relax and unwind" copy that fits any book
• Walls of text baked into the image
• Mismatched colors module-to-module
• Inventing features the book doesn't have
