## Description

Author the Art Bible, visual identity gating asset production. Run before /map-systems.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

!`bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config --keys review_mode,automation,workflow,docs.density`

Resolved above, use as-is; `--review` overrides `review_mode`. No block →
defaults in `.claude/docs/config-resolution.md`.

## Phase 0: Parse Arguments and Context Check


See `.claude/docs/director-gates.md` for the full check pattern. Individual gate definitions live in `.claude/docs/director-gates/[gate-id].md`, the spawned agent reads its own gate file; do not read it in the parent session.


Every `AskUserQuestion` call follows `.claude/docs/automation-modes.md`
(collaborative asks always · guided major-only · autonomous logs and proceeds;
`automation_always_ask` categories always prompt).

**`docs.density`**, it controls per-section *depth*, where `workflow`
controls which sections exist. `modes.rigor` sets both together; set
`docs.density` explicitly to vary depth alone: `terse` (the default, via `rigor: minimal`) = each section a bulleted list of
constraints + references; `balanced` = paragraphs explaining each visual choice
(`rigor: standard`); `thorough` = full prose including style explorations, references, and
rationale per choice. Apply it to every section you author.

**`workflow`** (see `.claude/docs/workflow-modes.md`):
- `full`, all 9 art bible sections required.
- `standard`, required only if visual asset stories exist in the project;
  sections 1, 4 are the minimum when required. `workflow_overrides.art_bible_strict:
  true` forces all 9 sections regardless of tier.
- `minimal`, not required. Can still be run voluntarily.
