Use when a user asks to start, set up, design, or create a new Inkroost series; do not use for adding a chapter to an existing series.\n---\n\n# Create an Inkroost series\n\nSet up a private series through Inkroost's MCP tools and get its first page drawn early. A creator decides whether to keep going when they see a drawn page, so the order is page first: series, look, chapter 1, page 1, then the sheets, written from what page 1 shows.\n\nDiscover and call the MCP tools named below.\n\n## Clarify only material gaps\n\nUse the client's structured question tool when one is available; otherwise ask concise questions in chat. Group related questions and ask no more than three at a time.\n\nBefore creating records, establish these decisions when the user has not already supplied or delegated them. Infer the rest and say in one line what you inferred; questions should not stand between the user and page 1.\n\n- working title and one-paragraph premise;\n- comic format: paged comic/manga or vertical webtoon, plus LTR or RTL panel order;\n- intended audience and deliberate maturity rating (`all_ages`, `teen`, or `mature`);\n- how the pages will be made (`content_origin`): `ai_assisted` (AI draws every image), `human` (no AI on any page) or `mixed` (some pages by the user, some by AI; prompting or editing AI images counts as AI-drawn);\n- the look of the art (see \"Choose the look with the user\" below);\n- tone, genre, colour treatment, and major constraints;\n- the lead characters and what they look like, in a line each (their full sheets come after page 1).\n\nDo not make the user choose details they explicitly asked you to invent. If several materially different directions remain plausible, offer two or three short options.\n\n## Choose the look with the user\n\nNever assume manga. Most first-time creators do not know what a generated page can look like, so before the style profile is written, ask which look they want, offering these families in one question with the invitation to describe their own:\n\n- **American comic**: bold brush inking, flat colour, heavy blacks and big lettering. Presets: Superhero, Noir, Golden Age, Graphic novel, Kirbyism.\n- **Manga**: black and white ink, screentone, expressive faces. Presets: Manga B&W, Shonen, Shojo, Seinen, Chibi.\n- **Webtoon**: clean digital colour made for scrolling. Presets: Webtoon, Anime colour.\n- **Cartoon**: simple shapes, thick outlines, big expressions. Presets: Cartoon, Storybook.\n- **European comic**: uniform clean lines or painted colour, detailed backgrounds. Presets: Ligne claire, Belgian humour, Painted album.\n\nA look the user names in their own words is just as valid as a preset: keep their wording where it is concrete and never replace it with a preset. When the user leaves the choice to you, pick the family that fits the premise and say which in one line; a Western premise usually wants an American comic or European look.\n\nAsk in the same message whether characters talk in speech bubbles or pages stay wordless; never decide it for them.\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. Call `search-series-tool` with the proposed title to detect a likely duplicate. If a close match exists, show it and ask whether to continue with a distinct new series.\n2. Read the live `create-series-tool` schema before calling it. Its `genre_ids` description contains the valid genre catalogue; never guess a genre ID.\n3. Call `create-series-tool` with a strong synopsis, deliberate maturity rating, reading direction, and reading mode. Set `content_origin` as established above: it is the origin badge readers see and defaults to `ai_assisted`. Keep the returned `series_id`.\n4. Immediately call `set-series-style-profile-tool`, built on the look chosen above:\n   - `subject`: the series-wide human/creature rendering baseline;\n   - `photography`: for a chosen preset, pass its id as `style_preset` and leave this group out (Inkroost writes it); otherwise the user's own words for medium, linework, shading, framing and composition;\n   - `background`: recurring environment language, atmosphere, lighting, and time-of-day defaults;\n   - `constraints`: with a preset the palette comes from it; otherwise palette, logo/text restrictions, and other hard rules.\n5. Call `create-chapter-tool` for chapter 1 and keep its `chapter_id`.\n6. Page 1. Offer to draw it now: one image's worth of credits (`cost_per_page`), well within a new account's free credits. When they agree, draw it with `variant_count: 1` and their `allow_text` (lines in `panels[].dialogue`). Describe the lead characters' looks in the scene text; no sheet is needed yet. Say in one line what page 1 will show (\"Drawing: ...\"), and ask nothing more about it. Generate it with `generate-pages-tool` and show it as soon as `get-art-status-tool` reports `review`. A page takes about 2 minutes; if your turn ends first, give the user the link from the generation reply and ask them to say \"show me\".\n7. Once the user has seen page 1, write the sheets from it, keeping what it got right and fixing what it got wrong:\n   - every named character: `create-character-tool`, then `set-character-style-profile-tool`, with reproducible traits rather than adjectives: build, age range, hair length/colour/parting, eye shape/colour, distinguishing marks, default outfit, posture, and expression range;\n   - each recurring place whose geometry matters: `create-location-tool` with aliases used in story beats, concrete measurements/counts/relative positions, materials, and continuity rules;\n   - each recurring object with a describable shape: `create-prop-tool` with aliases, concrete appearance notes, continuity rules, and either a supported `looks_like` key or a brand-free `real_world_model_anchor`. One-off objects do not need sheets.\n   If the user declined page 1, write the same sheets from the premise.\n8. Call `get-consistency-context-tool`. Fix incomplete profiles or sheets before planning the rest of the chapter.\n9. After page 1 the account's first cover is drawn by itself, free, in page 1's look: do not call `generate-cover-tool` for it. Offer the banner after page 1; the first banner (`generate-banner-tool`) is free.\n10. Return a concise summary: series, chapter, character, location and prop IDs, page 1 status, format, maturity rating, and any deferred work.\n\n## Boundaries\n\n- Creating the requested private series, its look, and chapter 1 is within a clear request to create a series. Credit-charged art needs the user's yes, page 1 included: offer one image first, never a whole chapter they have not seen.\n- Do not accept the content policy or choose a maturity rating on the user's behalf when the user has not delegated that creative decision.\n- Do not submit or publish the series as part of setup unless the user explicitly asks. Publication begins a moderation workflow and can make approved work public.\n- When the user wants the rest of the first chapter, continue with the `inkroost-create-chapter` workflow rather than improvising a shorter path.\n\nThe detailed platform and tool reference is available at https://inkroost.com/llms-full.txt.\n"
