SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of professional-level web novel covers by analyzing the book title and author name to determine the genre and visual style, then utilizes GPT-Image-2 to generate a cover that includes the title and author signature. It addresses the time and consistency challenges of manual cover design while aligning with platform-specific aesthetics.

Core Features & Use Cases

Analyze title and author to infer genre and generate platform-aligned cover prompts.
Build layered prompts (text, style, composition) and drive image generation via GPT-Image-2, with optional reference imagery.
Iterate across platform styles (from references/cover-styles.md) to produce multiple candidate covers and finalize a professional result.

Quick Start

Provide the book title and author, set BOOK_DIR, and run the cover generation workflow to output a professional cover.
