## What it does

The skill provides structured techniques to keep character appearance stable across different AI image prompts. It includes prompt blueprints for four-angle turnaround sheets, six-expression emotion grids, outfit sheets, and palette tables with hex codes. For quick setups without training custom models, it applies a description anchor: a detailed descriptive block of fifty or more words that stays identical in every generation query.

Image creation and stitching are handled through the `belt` CLI from inference.sh, targeting `falai/flux-dev-lora` and `infsh/stitch-images`. Without installing `belt` and authenticating through `belt login`, none of the generation commands will execute in your environment.
