## Description

Propose DeepSeek Whale-chan character illustrations, let the user select directions, then separately confirm quantities, visual settings and candidate budget before generating verified PNGs. Use for character portraits and themed illustrations with consistent identity and customizable visuals; default to one image per selected proposal.

# Whale-chan Image Character

Create verified Whale-chan PNGs. Preserve Whale-chan's permanent identity while resolving every visual dimension independently from the user's request, typed reference images, and canonical defaults. A custom value changes only its own field.

Workflow: propose → **Gate 1: select directions** → **Gate 2: confirm scope and begin** → expand, validate and freeze → generate, review and deliver. Selection alone is not permission to generate.

## Load guidance as needed

- Read `references/proposal-selection.md` before presenting either gate or interpreting replies.
- Read `references/assignment-schema.md` whenever normalizing, confirming, or freezing a request.
- Read `references/character-spec.md` before building prompts or deciding whether a requested customization preserves Whale-chan identity.
- Read `references/form-profiles.md` when resolving or measuring proportions. The five bundled forms are recommended presets, not the only allowed ratios.
- Read `references/reference-index.md` when selecting bundled or user-supplied references.
- Read `references/provider-routing.md` before any provider call or parallel run.
- Read `references/qa-rubric.md` before reviewing or promoting a candidate.
- Read `references/gallery.md` before exporting the completed task's preview gallery.
- Treat `references/reference-catalog.json` as the machine-readable authority for bundled paths, hashes, preset ratios, and preset acceptance ranges.

## Choose the language

Read `references/language-policy.md` before planning. Resolve one task `language`: explicit user instruction → meaningful current-session expression → newest meaningful local session within 24 hours → ask when uncertain. Use `scripts/detect-language.py` for historical evidence, not as an automatic verdict; recent sessions take precedence over aggregate counts.
