How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one direction is approved, with at most one more moodboard.
- 01
Translate brief
Your agent turns vague style words into production terms and reads them back to you.
- 02
Pin palette
It sets a named colour count and relationship, with value contrast for readability.
- 03
Run moodboard
It runs one moodboard with the same subject and palette, varying one axis.
- 04
Pick direction
It asks you which direction to pursue.
- 05
Storyboard
For a trailer it writes the beats as a list and makes panels that each advance the story.
- 06
Anchor
It attaches the chosen image as reference_image to every later run.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Layer Art Direction skill, answered.
Why vary only one axis?
If style, subject and palette all change, you cannot tell which change you liked.
One image or separate panels?
One image for a quick read of six or fewer beats; separate images when panels will become video shots.
