Story-to-screen — agent playbook

Paste this whole file (with your story pasted into the details) into Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, or Gemini Code. Paste a story → get a webtoon, an animated video reel, or both. The agent breaks the story into N visual panels, locks the cast + style, generates the panels with character-anchored consistency, and finishes the chosen output mode. Works for short stories, essays, fables, vignettes, children's books, mood pieces.
