create-goose-graphics

Purpose

Generate styled graphic frames for video scenes using the installed goose-graphics skill and npx gooseworks style catalog.

Use when a programmatic video needs polished still frames or visual motifs such as pillow-block cards, branded endcards, or scene-specific graphics.

Inputs

• Visual brief for each needed frame.
• Target style slug, defaulting to pillow-block for Gooseworks-style block graphics when appropriate.
• Format/aspect requirement, usually 9:16 story for short-form ads.
• Output directory for HTML and PNG exports.

Workflow

1. Confirm the goose-graphics skill exists at the installed path and load it when invoked.
2. Discover current style/format availability with npx gooseworks styles list or search; never assume community slugs exist.
3. Fetch the selected style spec with npx gooseworks styles get <slug>.
4. Generate HTML frames that obey the style spec, video aspect ratio, and scene content.
5. Export PNGs using the goose-graphics Playwright screenshot pipeline or equivalent browser screenshot flow.
6. Record the style slug, source prompt, HTML path, PNG path, and any deviations in the run manifest.

Output

• Styled HTML frame files.
• Exported PNG frames.
• Style/spec notes copied into the production manifest.
• manifest.json and verification.md for test or production runs.

Quality Checks

• Style slug was discovered/fetched rather than assumed.
• Output dimensions match the requested video format.
• Text is legible and does not collide with frame edges or other elements.
• Graphics are usable as final video frames, not just storyboard placeholders.
• If pillow-block is used: flat squircle tiles, off-white canvas, no shadows/gradients unless the fetched spec allows them.

Failure Modes

• goose-graphics skill or npx gooseworks is unavailable.
• Requested style or format slug does not exist.
• Screenshot renderer dependencies are missing.
• Exported PNG is blank, wrong aspect ratio, or visually inconsistent with the fetched style.
