Paint Doodle

Follow a documentation-only workflow. Do not create or rely on scripts/, tests/, validate_plan.py, build_prompt.py, run_tests.py, or Python dependencies. Keep the structured event plan internal.

Required workflow

1. Read references/semantic-analysis.md to lock the topic, subject boundary, and current color mode.
2. Read references/event-to-scene.md to split the request into 2 to 6 visible event fragments.
3. Read references/object-degradation.md to convert every object into awkward mouse-drawn forms.
4. Read references/visual-style.md to enforce the failed MS Paint look and the active color mode.
5. Read references/prompt-compiler.md to assemble the final image prompt.
6. Read references/visual-evaluation.md and pass the internal checklist before calling any image generation tool.
7. Use references/examples.md only as structural examples. Never inherit objects, layouts, or palettes from an older example.

Hard rules

• Re-evaluate color mode for every new task.
• Use color priority in this exact order: custom_palette > explicit monochrome > default color.
• Treat color as the default whenever the user does not explicitly ask for black-and-white.
• Prioritize the reference drawing language over generic "bad art" language when the user provides a style example or says the result should match an existing prompt style while ignoring color.
• Avoid arrows in the final image.
• Avoid visible sequence numbers such as 1., 2., 3. in the final image.
• Keep written explanation text sparse, not absent. Prefer 1 to 3 very short hand-written phrases total, and let poses, spacing, and object repetition carry the rest of the story.
• Push the actions and expressions into a more exaggerated, sillier, and looser direction when matching this doodle style.
• Keep the scene rough, broken, and visibly failed. Do not drift into polished comics, storybooks, editorial illustration, or professional infographic style.
• Keep all lighting, gradients, shading, and realistic material rendering out of the result.
• Keep all planning internal. Do not write intermediate plans to disk.

Color mode routing

• Use custom_palette when the user explicitly names allowed colors, such as 只用红黑, 蓝色线条, 黑白加一点红色, or 黄色背景.
• Use monochrome only when the user explicitly asks for black-and-white, such as 黑白, 纯黑白, 不要颜色, 只用黑白, or 不要彩色.
• Use color for every other case, including ordinary requests that do not mention color at all.

Prompt clause requirement

• In default color, include this exact clause in the final prompt:

a few harsh default MS Paint palette colors,
crude failed bucket fills,
color bleeding outside broken outlines,
accidental white gaps,
wrong regions filled,
no gradients,
no shading,
no professional color harmony

• In explicit monochrome, replace the color clause with this exact clause:

black outlines with messy gray pencil-scribble fills on a plain white canvas,
no color anywhere,
gray hand-scribbled fill texture is allowed,
no gradients,
no soft rendered lighting,
no material rendering,
no polished grayscale painting

• In custom_palette, keep the color failure traits but rewrite the palette part so it only names the user-approved colors. Never invent extra colors.

Final reminder

Before generating, confirm internally that the result is about the current topic only, contains 2 to 6 visible event fragments, respects the active color mode, avoids arrows and numbering, keeps text sparse, exaggerates the actions, stays colorful by default, avoids comic polish, and still feels like a genuine failed drawing attempt.
