## What it does

The skill opens Creative Production in its empty starting state. It creates one board with a title and summary, then lets the app display its starter grid. It does not generate images, pick a production mode, or ask a structured chat questionnaire before the app appears.

When the user chooses a starter, the app opens an editable follow-up prompt. The workflow keeps the returned `boardId`, hands the submitted request to `produce`, and uses `begin_generation` only when generation starts. Each generated file then goes through `complete_generation`; the board is not opened again. Losing the `boardId` breaks the continuation because later actions must target that same board.
