SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating children's picture-book videos, bedtime stories, and fables normally requires juggling separate tools for illustration, narration, and editing while keeping a consistent hand-drawn watercolor style. This Skill turns a story topic into a complete storybook-style short film inside the Kinema production pipeline. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Watercolor storybook aesthetic: Enforces wet-on-wet soft edges, paper texture, rounded shapes, generous white space, and deep-blue-plus-warm-lamplight night scenes through a dedicated storybook profile and prompt formulas. - Bedtime-story narrative discipline: Structures stories as a fable arc (small protagonist, three attempts, gentle realization, goodnight closing shot) with pacing that slows toward sleep and no scary content. - Full production workflow: Produces character reference sheets, 6-12 shot storyboards with per-shot prompts, a single soft narrator voice, low-volume calm BGM, and optional subtle animation of the watercolor frames. - Use Case: A parent or content creator types a theme like "a little hedgehog afraid of the dark" and receives a vertical 9:16 narrated picture-book video ready for bedtime viewing. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /kn-storybook with a story theme such as "a little hedgehog who is afraid of the dark" to produce a complete watercolor bedtime story video.

Frequently Asked Questions about kn-storybook

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a bedtime story video with watercolor illustrations?▼

Invoke /kn-storybook with a story theme. The skill runs the full Kinema workflow with the storybook profile, producing character reference art, 6-12 storyboard shots with watercolor prompts, a gentle narrator voice, and a finished vertical video.

What visual style does the storybook profile enforce?▼

It enforces transparent watercolor technique: wet-on-wet soft edges, layered transparent washes, paper texture, rounded shapes without sharp corners, low-saturation cream and pink palettes, and deep-blue nights with warm lamplight instead of black shadows.

Can I use this skill for dark or adult fairy tales?▼

No. The skill explicitly forbids scary content, jump scares, and dark shading because its goal is helping children fall asleep. For adult dark fantasy, the documentation directs you to the kn-game skill with the dark_fantasy profile instead.

How is narration handled in storybook videos?▼

A single narrator voice tells the entire story, with character dialogue written as quoted lines inside the narration. The recommended voice is a gentle female or grandmotherly tone at -20 speech rate, kept consistent across episodes.

Why do my generated images look 3D or too dark instead of watercolor?▼

Prompts containing camera terms like focal length or depth of field, or words like dark shadows, pull the model toward 3D realism and dirty blacks. The retake dictionary fixes this by requesting wet-edge blending, paper texture, blue-purple transparent darks, and 30 percent white space.
