 "title": "Build a visual bible from approved reference images",
 "page_title": "How to build a visual bible from approved reference images with Film Studio Skills",
 "summary": "Caption reference boards, ban anti-references, and record an approve, revise, or reject decision.",
 "who": "A director or art lead who has reference images for a film's look and needs them written down as a specification.",
 "problem": "Images picked for mood with no notes become unusable when the look has to be reproduced weeks later.",
 "outcome": "A visual bible with a caption on every reference, a ban list of anti-references, and a written decision on each board.",
 "steps": [
  "Collect the existing reference images you want to use, since the skill asks you to find the image before describing it.",
  "Run `/reference-board` and supply one board at a time.",
  "Answer the caption prompts so each image names exactly what is taken from it.",
  "Record a decision of approved, revise, or rejected on every board before calling anything locked."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the film-studio-skills repo, run /reference-board on the reference images in <folder>. Expected output: a visual bible with captioned references, a ban list, and a written decision per board. Verify that no board is treated as locked without an approved decision.",
 "agents": [

  "codex"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The skill only organizes references you supply, so the quality of the visual bible depends on the images you bring to it.",

 "requirements": [
  "An agent harness that loads skills: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, or OpenCode",
  "Access to the image model and video model you plan to use, named during /setup",
  "A script, treatment, or one-paragraph idea for the film",
  "Reference images for characters and locations, if you have them"
