step-02-inventory Build a complete image inventory organized by type, page, and batch opportunity ./step-03-select-style.md

Step 2: Asset Inventory

STEP GOAL:

Build a complete inventory of all images needed, organized by type and page, identifying batch opportunities for consistent generation.

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 organizing image inventory
  • 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 batch production methodology, user brings scope decisions

Step-Specific Rules:

  • 🎯 Focus ONLY on cataloging and organizing images
  • 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate images in this step
  • 💬 Group by type for batch consistency (heroes, products, team, backgrounds, etc.)
  • 📋 Wait for user scope selection

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

  • 🎯 Follow the Sequence of Instructions exactly
  • 💾 Document inventory with batch groups
  • 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without user scope selection

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

  • Available context: Image context from Step 1
  • Focus: Organizing images for generation
  • Limits: Do not generate — just catalog
  • Dependencies: Context from Step 1

Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

1. Catalog All Image Placements

Table: image, page, type (hero/product/team/background/illustration/decorative), dimensions, content description.

2. Group by Type

Organize for batch generation: hero images, product images, people/team, backgrounds, illustrations, decorative.

3. Identify Batch Opportunities

Images that should share visual consistency: "All 17 vehicle images" = one batch, "All team photos" = one lighting, "All heroes" = one mood.

4. Present Inventory

Show: total needed, batch groups, reusable existing, need generation. Present scope: [A] All, [B] By batch, [S] Select specific, [P] Priority (hero + above-fold).

5. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [C] Continue"

Menu Handling Logic:

  • IF C: Save inventory and scope, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
  • IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then Redisplay 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 scope is confirmed will you load {nextStepFile} to begin selecting image style.


🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

SUCCESS:

  • All image placements cataloged
  • Batch groups identified
  • Reusable assets noted
  • User selected scope

SYSTEM FAILURE:

  • Starting generation without inventory
  • Not identifying batch opportunities
  • Not waiting for user scope selection

Master Rule: Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
