+
+# KQ4 Room Caption Creator
+
+## Overview
+
+This skill generates 3 caption variations per King's Quest IV room scene for AI image generation. Each caption describes the room's composition from a bird's-eye perspective in detailed, painterly terms, focusing on natural textures, spatial depth, and atmospheric lighting rather than the original 16-color pixel art style. You will describe it as if it were a painting.
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+Use this skill when:
+- Creating caption files for new KQ4 rooms
+- Regenerating or improving existing captions
+- Adding caption variations (up to 3 per room)
+- Working with room images in `./kq4-sierra-decompile/rooms/kq4-<ROOM>/pic_<ROOM>_visual.png e.g., ./kq4-sierra-decompile/rooms/kq4-001-beach/pic_001_visual.png
+
+## Caption Format Requirements
+
+### Mandatory Opening
+Every caption MUST start with exactly:
+```
+kq5hoyos, wtp style, sylvain. oil painting style.
+```
+
+### Content Structure
+After the opening, describe:
+
+1. **Perspective**: High-angle/bird's-eye view establishing shot
+2. **Foreground**: Immediate terrain details, textures, objects closest to viewer
+3. **Middle Ground**: Main features, pathways, structures, focal points
+4. **Background**: Distant elements, horizon, atmospheric perspective
+5. **Lighting**: Time of day, light sources, shadows, color temperature
+6. **Color Palette**: Dominant hues, complementary colors, atmospheric effects -- these are imagined, and not taken from the 16 color image
+7. **Spatial Relationships**: How elements relate in 3D space, scale, depth cues
+
+### Style Guidelines
+
+- Use rich, artistic language ("velvet shadows", "crystalline waters", "gossamer light")
+- Avoid describing pixel art, grid patterns, or game interface elements
+- Describe as if viewing a master oil painting, not a digital scene
+- Include natural textures: bark, stone, water, foliage, clouds
+- Emphasize depth through overlapping elements and atmospheric perspective
+- Keep each caption 150-300 words
+- Vary descriptions between the 3 options while maintaining scene accuracy
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Locate and Analyze Source Image
+1. Identify room number from directory name (e.g., `kq4_010_forest_path` → room 010)
+2. Open `./kq4-sierra-decompile/rooms/kq4-XXX-room-name/pic_XXX_visual.png`  for visual analysis
+3. Study the composition 
+4. You may want to look at the spec text description for "look", as well as the various interactions, in order to see what's in the room. these are in kq4-sierra-decompile/rooms/<ROOM>/<ROOM>md
+5. Never include people or animals
+6. Imagine what an expert artist would paint if given a brief.
+
+### Step 2: Create Output Directory
+Ensure directory exists at `asset-work/kq4_XXX_room_name/`
+
+### Step 3: Generate Caption Variations
+Create three distinct files:
+- `asset-work/kq4_XXX_room_name/caption_1.txt`
+- `asset-work/kq4_XXX_room_name/caption_2.txt`
+- `asset-work/kq4_XXX_room_name/caption_3.txt`
+
+### Step 4: Update Tracking
+Add room to TODOS.md if tracking, marking as complete.
+
+## Example Output

+kq5hoyos, wtp style, sylvain. oil painting style. An enchanting forest stream crossing viewed from above, where human craftsmanship harmonizes with natural beauty. The foreground displays the riverbank with its rich ecosystem—moisture-loving plants, exposed roots, and perhaps a place where animals come to drink. The bridge arches gracefully over the water, built from timber that has weathered to a silver-gray, with sturdy railings for safety. Its shadow falls across the stream below, creating interesting patterns on the rippling surface. The stream itself meanders through the middle ground, its clear waters revealing every pebble and fish shadow on the sandy bottom. On the far side, the forest continues with inviting mystery. Background trees frame the scene while allowing glimpses of sky. The color palette celebrates the meeting of water and wood—cool blues and greens of stream and foliage, warm browns and grays of timber and earth, all under the golden light of a perfect forest afternoon.

+**caption_3.txt:**
+kq5hoyos, wtp style, sylvain. oil painting style. A storybook forest bridge observed from bird's-eye perspective, serving as a portal between realms of the woodland. The immediate foreground shows the path leading to the crossing, winding between ancient trees whose roots create natural steps. Wildflowers grow in profusion along the banks. The bridge itself is a work of rustic art—perhaps stone arches covered in moss and ferns, or a wooden structure that has become part of the forest through age. Below, the stream runs clear and cold over stones worn smooth, its surface broken by small rapids and quiet pools. The far side of the bridge promises continuation into deeper forest, where the trees grow closer together and the light becomes more mysterious. The background shows the forest extending to the horizon in layers of green. The palette is rich with woodland tones—deep greens, warm earth colors, the silver of water and stone—unified by gentle, diffused light filtering through leaves.
