# American Comic Alert

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the **American Comic Alert** style. Turn numbered source content into an ordered deck of finished comic teaching boards.

Generate the background, Japanese text, comic panels, diagrams, people, objects, ink, halftone, bursts, arrows, and layout together as one PNG with `image_gen`. Do not rebuild the style with PPTX shapes, HTML/CSS, SVG, or local text overlays.

If supplied as a ZIP, extract it and read this file plus all required references first.

## Real Generated Sample Rule

Treat `samples/slide_01.png` through `samples/slide_10.png` as authoritative finished examples. Preserve the whole family's saturated primary colors, thick black ink, white keylines, Ben-Day dots, jagged panels, oversized action headlines, impact balloons, visual density, and cobalt takeaway bands. Do not infer the style from the cover alone.

## Required Reading

Read `references/input-workflow.md`, `references/visual-system.md`, `references/slide-recipes.md`, and `references/quality-bar.md`. Inspect the style reference, contact sheet, and all 10 samples.

## Non-Negotiable Workflow

1. Keep numbered input in order.
2. Reduce each slide to one thesis, one headline, one subline, three labels, and one takeaway.
3. Choose one role and its matching comic recipe.
4. Generate exactly one complete 16:9 PNG at a time.
5. Compare each result against the bundled samples.
6. Regenerate only failed pages.
7. Save sequential filenames.
8. For PPTX or PDF delivery, place approved PNGs as full-slide images.

## Design DNA

Use saturated red, vivid yellow, cobalt blue, black, and white as the core palette; heavy irregular black ink; crisp cel shading; Ben-Day halftone dots; white keylines; jagged comic panels; speech balloons and explosive impact bursts; action rays, speed lines, stars, lightning and thick arrows; huge condensed Japanese display headlines; compact visual storytelling; and a dark cobalt takeaway strip with one yellow emphasis phrase.

Use green only as a small semantic success accent when the samples justify it. Keep every interior page loud, dense, controlled, and immediately recognizable as printed superhero-comic educational art.

## Prompt Contract

```text
Create exactly one complete 16:9 Japanese slide image.
Style: American Comic Alert.
Design DNA: saturated red, vivid yellow, cobalt blue, black and white; heavy irregular black ink; crisp cel shading; Ben-Day halftone; jagged panels; explosive bursts; action rays; speed lines; giant outlined Japanese display lettering; dark cobalt takeaway band.
Required Japanese text:
- Headline: [one short headline]
- Subline: [one short subline]
- Labels: [exactly three short labels]
- Bottom takeaway: [one concise sentence]
Slide role: [cover / problem / before-after / three-step / loop / checklist / roadmap / matrix / case / recap]
Composition: follow the matching recipe and visually match samples/contact_sheet.png. Use one dominant comic sequence, loop, checklist, route, matrix, storyboard, or action path instead of generic cards.
Generate text, people, objects, diagrams, ink, halftone, bursts, arrows, effects, and layout together.
Avoid extra microcopy, pseudo-text, logos, QR codes, URLs, dates, prices, watermarks, fake UI, photorealism, pastel gradients, thin corporate icons, rounded card grids, and generic PowerPoint/Canva/Gamma output.
```

## Output Defaults

- Output 16:9 PNG images with sequential filenames.
- Split or summarize long text; never shrink it into paragraphs.
- Keep three labels unless explicitly asked otherwise.
- Preserve supplied facts and copy; never invent campaign details.
