Ebook Factory

What it does

Creates high-quality visual ebooks (cookbooks, manga, children's books, visual guides) where all content—including text, layout, and imagery—is rendered directly into full-page images using GPT Image 2. It eliminates the need for HTML text layers by treating the book as a fixed-layout image album.

When to use it

Use this skill when a user wants to produce a visually-driven book for publishing on Amazon KDP, particularly for genres like illustrated cookbooks, comics, or children's stories where imagery is the primary vehicle for information.

What's included

• Instructions: A comprehensive 5-phase pipeline (Analyze $\rightarrow$ Prototype $\rightarrow$ Iterate $\rightarrow$ Produce $\rightarrow$ Export).
• Workflow: Includes detailed rules for visual consistency, recurring character reference sheets, and exact pixel dimensions for various KDP formats.
• Tooling: Leverages Calibre for professional EPUB/PDF conversion and GPT Image 2 for text-in-image rendering.
