What you will create
You will finish with an editable, reviewable project artifact rather than an unstructured one-shot output. Start with the smallest useful version, verify it, and expand only after the workflow is reliable.
Step-by-step workflow
1. Choose page or vertical format, reading direction, and length
Define the input, expected result, and acceptance check for this step. Record confirmed decisions, unresolved questions, and any change that could affect connected content before moving on.
2. Convert prose into visible story beats
Define the input, expected result, and acceptance check for this step. Record confirmed decisions, unresolved questions, and any change that could affect connected content before moving on.
3. Plan page turns, panels, and information density
Define the input, expected result, and acceptance check for this step. Record confirmed decisions, unresolved questions, and any change that could affect connected content before moving on.
4. Create stable character, location, and prop references
Define the input, expected result, and acceptance check for this step. Record confirmed decisions, unresolved questions, and any change that could affect connected content before moving on.
5. Write one auditable image prompt and dialogue note per panel
Define the input, expected result, and acceptance check for this step. Record confirmed decisions, unresolved questions, and any change that could affect connected content before moving on.
6. Review thumbnails for reading order and continuity
Define the input, expected result, and acceptance check for this step. Record confirmed decisions, unresolved questions, and any change that could affect connected content before moving on.

Help me with this task: How to Turn a Story into an AI Comic.
Project type: [type]
Audience: [audience]
Existing material: [paste only relevant context]
Fixed constraints: [facts that must not change]
Desired output: [outline/table/checklist/draft/code]
Ask up to three clarifying questions first. Then return a structured result, label assumptions, and do not overwrite confirmed facts.
Review the output for fixed constraints, scope, omissions, unverifiable claims, and continuity with adjacent content. Regenerate only the affected part.
Common mistakes
- Asking for a complete finished work before confirming its structure and constraints.
- Changing content, style, format, and assets at the same time.
- Writing AI output directly into the project without review or a recoverable copy.
- Checking one page or scene in isolation instead of reviewing continuity.
- Treating a publishing export as the only editable backup.
Quality checklist
- Audience, final format, scope, and success criteria are explicit.
- Fixed facts are separated from details that may change.
- Every step produces an observable result.
- Connected pages, scenes, or states do not contradict one another.
- External generation output has been reviewed by a person.
- The editable source project and key assets have an independent backup.
