Workflow

1. Gather Book Information

Ask the user for:

• Target content focus: series showcase, author background, cover art, book sample, or combination
  • Example: "Show all books in my trilogy + author bio"
• Available assets: book covers, author photos, character art, etc.
  • Example: "I have cover images for all 5 books and a professional author headshot"
• Book's ASIN: if already published (e.g., "B08XXXXXX")
• Existing book description or key selling points
  • Example: "Epic battles, found family themes, LGBTQ+ representation"

2. Select Appropriate Modules

Based on content focus, recommend modules from references/modules.md:
