Typical Workflow

1. Provide one or more Markdown story files.
2. Ask the Agent to create a bilingual picture book.
3. The Agent reads the story and chooses a suitable page count.
4. It creates scene plans, bilingual narration, and illustration prompts.
5. It generates one full-page illustration per scene.
6. It builds Chinese and English PDF versions using the same image set.
7. It checks page count, image count, and rendered output.

Page Count Strategy

The Agent can automatically choose the page count based on story length and complexity:

You can also request a fixed page count, such as 12, 16, 20, or 24 pages.

Example Prompts

Use this Agent to read all Markdown files in the current project and generate a bilingual English-Chinese picture book PDF.

Create a 12-page bilingual picture book from this Markdown story. Keep the Chinese natural and the English suitable for children.

Turn this classic Chinese story into a English-Chinese picture book with one illustration per page.

## Output Files

A typical output folder includes:

build/storybook_auto/
├── scenes.parsed.md
├── prompts.generated.md
├── manifest.json
├── images/
│   ├── scene_01.png
│   ├── scene_02.png

## Design Principles

- One clear story moment per page
- Short narration suitable for children
- Natural Chinese, not stiff textbook language
- English translation focused on clarity and emotion, not literal word-for-word translation
- Consistent visual style across all pages
- No readable text inside generated images
- No watermarks, captions, speech bubbles, or embedded labels in illustrations

## Important Notes

This Agent uses Codex built-in image generation. It does not call the OpenAI Images API and does not require OPENAI_API_KEY.

The helper script handles deterministic text, layout, image checking, and PDF assembly. Image creation is handled through Codex's built-in image generation workflow.

Requires a Codex environment with built-in image generation available.
No external image API key is required.

## 中文说明

这个 Agent 可以把 Markdown 故事素材制作成中英双语绘本。它会自动拆分分镜，生成中文旁白、英文旁白和插画提示词，使用 Codex 内置生图能力生成每页插图，并最终输出中文版和英文版 PDF。

适合用于儿童绘本、亲子阅读、双语学习、经典故事改编和教育内容制作。
