Story Illustrator

Generates a consistent illustrated image for every scene of a story — keeping characters, locations, and visual style coherent across the whole sequence using cascading reference images. Reads a {slug}_scenes.json (from scene-splitter), proposes a visual style, ASKS the user for the aspect ratio and image model, extracts a visual bible, drafts a continuity-classified shot list, generates one reference image per character + location, then one image per scene (with a strict no-text/no-border constraint), and records every image in {slug}_images.json. Images are generated through the Fal API via the bundled fal_image.py script, with a pluggable model registry (nano-banana-2, nano-banana-pro, seedream-4, or any Fal model you add). Use this skill whenever the user wants to illustrate a story, generate scene images, draw the pictures for a storybook, build the illustrations, or produce a consistent visual sequence. Trigger on phrases like "illustrate this story", "generate the images", "draw the scenes", "make the pictures", "visualize this story", or whenever scenes.json exists and the user wants images. Requires a Fal API key (FAL_KEY in the environment or a .env file).
