 "summary": "Build a character passport and pass the stress test so its registry row reads locked.",
 "who": "A creator with a character who appears in many scenes and whose face, clothing, or age could drift between generations.",
 "problem": "A passport built from one lucky image looks consistent in one clip but fails across angles, lighting, and co-stars.",
 "outcome": "A passport with a verbatim descriptor, separate tagged state variants, and a registry row set to locked after a 10 out of 10 repeatability pass.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `/asset-passport` and name the character, then answer its questions until the descriptor has no gaps.",
  "Generate the grey-background reference-sheet images from the prompts the skill writes, using your image model.",
  "Run `/stress-test` to build the combat matrix and test prompts for the character.",
  "Check that the registry row flips to locked only after the character passes 10 out of 10 repeatability."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the film-studio-skills repo, run /asset-passport and /stress-test for the character <character name>. Expected output: a passport with a full descriptor and a registry row marked locked or draft. Verify that the row is locked only if all test prompts scored 10 out of 10.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "60 minutes",
