+
+# Step 3: Select Style
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Choose the content style (rendering technique) and visual parameters — lighting, color harmony, composition, mood — for each image batch to ensure visual consistency.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a creative production partner defining image visual standards
+- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring visual style expertise, user brings brand aesthetic
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on defining image style parameters
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate images in this step
+- 💬 Allow different styles per batch (heroes vs. backgrounds vs. products)
+- 📋 Confirm complete style configuration before proceeding
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Follow the Sequence of Instructions exactly
+- 💾 Document style per batch
+- 📖 Load content styles from `data/styles/content-styles/`
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without confirmed style
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Image inventory (Step 2), design system, style libraries
+- Focus: Selecting visual style for image generation
+- Limits: Do not generate — just define style
+- Dependencies: Inventory and scope from Step 2
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Load Content Styles
+
+Present from `data/styles/content-styles/`: Photorealistic, Illustration, Watercolor, Flat Design, Isometric, 3D Render, Hyper-realistic, Line Art, Pencil Sketch, Comic Book.
+
+### 2. Assign Style Per Batch
+
+Different image types may use different styles. Create a table: batch vs. content style.
+
+### 3. Configure Visual Parameters
+
+Per batch: lighting (natural, studio, dramatic, soft, golden hour), color harmony (warm, cool, brand-matched), composition (rule of thirds, centered, dynamic), mood (professional, energetic, calm, luxurious).
+
+### 4. Confirm Style
+
+Present: primary style, style per batch, color direction, mood, prompt keywords from style library.
+
+### 5. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **"Select an Option:** [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C: Save style, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#5-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and style is confirmed will you load {nextStepFile} to begin gathering reference images.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Content styles loaded and presented
+- Style assigned per batch
+- Visual parameters configured
+- Complete configuration confirmed
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Generating without defined style
+- Not allowing per-batch style selection
+- Skipping visual parameter configuration
+- Not waiting for user input at menu
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
