Quick Start Guide

1. Create Your First Project

# Navigate to your workspace
cd ~/redhenos-workspace

# Create a new project
mkdir my-comic-project
cd my-comic-project

# Initialize with Red Hen OS
echo "# My Comic Project" > README.md

2. Set Up AI Agents

Red Hen OS uses AI agents to help with creative tasks:

# Configure your AI model
openclaw configure --section agents

# Test an agent
openclaw chat "Help me brainstorm character names"

3. Organize Your Assets

Create a standard folder structure:

my-project/
├── characters/     # Character profiles and art
├── scripts/        # Story scripts and outlines
├── assets/         # Visual assets and references
├── drafts/         # Work in progress
└── published/      # Final outputs

Projects

Projects are the foundation of Red Hen OS. Each project represents a creative IP (comic, book, game, etc.) with its own:

• File structure and assets
• AI agent configurations
• Team members and permissions
• Publishing pipelines

Project Best Practices

1. Use descriptive names: brooklyn-magic-society instead of project1
2. Keep README updated: Document your vision, characters, and progress
3. Version control: Use git for tracking changes
4. Separate drafts from published: Never overwrite source material

AI Agents

Red Hen OS includes specialized AI agents for different creative tasks:

Production Pipelines

Automate repetitive workflows with pipelines:

Example: Comic Page Pipeline

1. Script Review → AI checks for consistency
2. Character Reference → Auto-fetch from asset library
3. Panel Layout → Generate composition suggestions
4. Export → Create print-ready PDF

Pipelines can be triggered manually, scheduled, or activated by events (file changes, team actions, etc.)

Asset Library

Red Hen OS provides intelligent asset management:

• Version control: Track changes to character designs, scripts, and more
• Tagging: Organize by project, character, scene, or custom tags
• Search: Find assets instantly with AI-powered search
• Reuse: Deploy assets across multiple projects

Team Collaboration

Work seamlessly with your creative team:

• Role-based permissions (owner, editor, viewer)
• Real-time messaging and comments
• Task assignment and tracking
• File locking to prevent conflicts

Automation

Let Red Hen OS handle repetitive tasks:

• Automatic backups
• Scheduled exports
• Notification triggers
• Custom scripts and workflows

Multi-Format Publishing

Export your work to any format:

• Print: PDF, CBZ/CBR (comics)
• Web: HTML, EPUB, interactive sites
• Games: Unity/Unreal asset packages
• Social: Optimized images for Twitter, Instagram, etc.
